"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez
"It's always nice to feel like you're appreciated, and you guys have done a great job with that."- R. Abeel
"Turntable lab constantly deliver the best and most current selection of modern music on all formats. It's my first stop for vinyl house and disco music. The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo
"My Rane mixer arrived safely yesterday. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for your speedy response to my initial enquiry and efficient delivery. Great price and great service, I'll definitely be telling my friends about it." - A. McConnell (Marrickville, Australia)

Theo Parrish’s first 12-inch release is an artifact from a time before he had a flock of studio musicians waiting in the wings, and little more than a record collection and a sampler: “I didn’t have access to a bass player when I started, or a keyboard player, a live drummer and so on and so forth. But I did have a record and an SP-1200. It was very, very simple: the idea of catching something that would be good to expand on and roll with it.” Repetition is the name of the game on Baby Steps, the astutely-titled EP that sees Theo cautiously emerging from under the wing of Moodymann (who originally released “Lake Shore Drive” as the B-side to his Inspirations From A Small Black Church On The Eastside Of Detroit EP in ’95) and establishing a sound that is wholly his own; an off-kilter strain of soulful house that could only have emanated from a born-and-bred Chicagoan settling down in the motor city. Theo would offer a more distilled version of this sound on his First Floor LP a couple years later, but Baby Steps offers a snapshot of one of Detroit’s most influential producers finding his footing. By now we all know “Lake Shore Drive,” Theo’s love letter to Chicago, done Detroit-style. “Early Byrd” is a shuffling, side-long roller built on a loop of - yup, you guessed it - Donald Byrd, and an earlier edit of “Walking Thru The Sky,” which was later included on First Floor, first appeared here. Still banging 20 years on; keep this in your bag, you’ll want to play all three tracks over the course of the night. Recommended!
