"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)

TECHNO REISSUE OF THE DECADE!! Warp continue their incredible reissue program of 2017 with The Other People Place: the sublime and melodic side-project of James Stinson, one half of rabid Detroit electro duo Drexciya. Initially misunderstood upon its release in 2001 (one year before Stinson’s untimely death), the album has become a cult classic due to a massive surge in popularity for anything Drexciya-related in recent years. The demand for Lifestyles Of The Laptop Cafe reached critical mass when a 2016 petition for Warp to repress the album amassed over a thousand signatures. While Stinson’s work with Drexciya exists in the realm of the mythical and aquatic, Lifestyles is purely terrestrial, human. The one-line refrains deal with the most tangible and relatable human emotions (“let me be what I wanna be”, “you said you want me,” etc.). Compared to the Drexciya catalog, Stinson’s simple yet potent arrangements are considerably more gentle, usually consisting of a light drum machine pattern (mostly TR-808) and a few analog synths providing melodic basslines, soft pads and plucked keys. It’s hard not to be uplifted by the meditative hook, breezy melody and infectious bassline of “Sunrays”. “Moonlight Rendezvous” is quite possibly the most romantic Detroit techno record not produced by Carl Craig. Lifestyles covers the other end of the spectrum, too; “Lifestyles Of The Casual” will appeal to fans of the sinister, cosmic electro of Drexciya, and “Let Me Be Me” is a total ass-shaker of an anthem for personal expression on the dance floor. This is one of those albums you’ll want to keep near the turntable for low-key Sunday afternoons at home, so buy a second copy for your DJ bag. Recommended.
- first time on vinyl since 2001
- black double vinyl pressing
- original release year: 2001
- music label: Warp Records 2017
