"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)

In contrast to what many of his hard-edged west coast peers were cooking up around the same time, Quik Is The Name is fun, positive and carefree while retaining DJ Quik’s gangster credentials fully intact (and, we should point out, rapping about Givenchy 20 years before Watch The Throne). He originally intended for the album to be just another mixtape he would sell out of his trunk when he was poached by Profile Records and signed to a six-figure deal (a first for a solo artist on the label at that time) and subsequently re-polished the songs for release as his commercial debut full-length. Arriving a year before The Chronic, Quik Is The Name ruled the streets when the prevailing sound of L.A. still consisted of uptempo, west coast party rocking, malt liquour sippin’ bubblers like the ones found here. The album is chock full of soul, with Quik feeding his SP-1200 with Funkadelic, Cameo, B.T. Express and Blowfly loops. Standouts include “Tonite” (which lifts the bassline and refrain from top-5 all time boogie record “Tonite” by Kleeer), rocksteady slow-burner “The Bombudd” (peep the synth brass solo at the end; has Quik collaborated with Dam-Funk yet?) and late-nite instrumental creeper “Quik’s Groove” (a career highlight for sure). Out of print for 26 years, with originals setting you back more than $100, this vinyl repress is long overdue; part of Sony’s Certified Classics series alongside crucial reissues by E-40, TLC, Ginuwine, DJ Jazzy Jeff & more. Digital download included.
