"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)

Sweeney Kovar has turned his now defunct rap blog Classic Drug References into a label and compilation series of the same name. He seems to have made some good connections in the years since he shut down the blog. The first installment in the label's series features track from west coast heavy hitters like Blu and Ras G as well as Detroit's notorious Danny Brown. Things kick off with a mellow guitar loop from Mike Chav, engineer and producer for Erykah Badu and Jay Electronica. It's an easy point of entry for a collection of tracks that maintain some serious abstract vibes while occasionally diving into left coast hip hop. Blu & Knxwledge keep things close to the latter while Ras G takes things into his typically outer space direction. Somehow Zeroh finds his way around the track and delivers some equally out there rhymes. I've got to say I'm not familiar with Pablo Ygál, but his "Disappear Without A Trace" is a welcome inclusion. It has a jazz fusion feel with a little Topanga Canyon vibe mixed in. The comp closes with two producer and MC pairings that you probably wont see anywhere else. The Danny Brown cut features Mndsgn production that is about as open as anything Brown has spit over to date. It would be a hard act to follow, but Dibiase cleans things up with a Dilla inspired beat for Quelle. It's a closing track that brings us back to reality. Triple 7" boxset including detailed liner notes, interviews and photographs.
