"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)

British experimental music iconoclast Dean Blunt seems to have put off recording a proper follow-up to his opaque 2014 post-punk opus Black Metal as long as contractually possible… instead releasing around a dozen other projects including collaborations with Delroy Edwards, Panda Bear, and A$AP Rocky, not to mention steering boutique side projects Babyfather and Blue Iverson. Black Metal 2 is the result of an extended 2020 session with UK producer Kwake Bass, who lends a newfangled musicality (and notably, an exquisite new drum sound) to Dean’s scrappy loop-based singer songwriter droll, while the singular talents of Mica Levi and Joanne Robertson (pure speculation, the jacket and inner sleeve are completely devoid of any credits or liner notes) lend tongue-on-battery guitar tones and heavenly folk lullabies, respectively, that will be familiar to anyone who’s been following Dean's story so far. In contrast to the protracted runtime of the first Black Metal, BM2 is tantalizingly succinct, as if Dean’s finally distilled his arrangements to maximize rewind value in the streaming era. Check out “Mugu,” “Dash Snow,” “Sketamine,” “ZaZa” and the utterly flatlining coda “The Rot” for a taste. Finally on vinyl via Rough Trade after landing digitally earlier in the year (side note, makes a nice companion piece to that new Tirzah record, supposedly recorded at the same studio with the same cohorts around the same time), recommended.
- 180g black vinyl pressing
- includes vinyl-exclusive bonus track "Astro"
- music label: Rough Trade 2021
