"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)

ANALOG AFRICA DIGS DEEPER THAN DEEP FOR THEIR NEWEST, SURE-FIRE RELEASE. For Dur Dur of Somalia - Volume 1, Volume 2 & Previously Unreleased Tracks, the label pulls out all stops and brings the grooving, hypnotic sound of Dur-Dur Band into the mainstream once again. Dur-Dur Band formed in 1980s Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, and soon became one of the country’s most popular (and arguably funkiest) bands. One could simply describe the music contained on these 3 LPs as funk overall, but Dur-Dur’s use of spacey psychedelic guitars, ethio-style modes, and Fela-style grooves creates an entrancing sound that is hard to put into a single “Western” genre. By blending traditional Somalian rhythms and vocal traditions with Western sounds - new wave, disco, afrobeat, funk, soul, even reggae - Dur-Dur Band’s music is entirely unique and infectious. When you drop the needle on the first track alone, "Ohiyee," it’s impossible to not bob your head along with the fuzz guitar and swirling organs when the drums kick in. While it's hard to imagine what 1980s Mogadishu might have been like before descending into civil war, listening through Dur-Dur of Somalia can give you a good idea of that thriving cultural era from the Horn of Africa. This release compiles the band's first two albums, originally released on cassette-only in 1986 and 1987, respectively, as well as two previously unreleased tracks and extensive liner notes. Tracks to check out are "Ohiyee," "Yabaal," "Salkudhigey," "Saafiyeey Makaa Saraayeey" and "Diinleeya." For fans of Fela Kuti, Mulatu Astatke, Ata Kak, etc. 18 deep tracks on triple vinyl, including two previously unreleased tracks and extensive liner notes featuring interviews with original band members documenting this golden age of Somalia’s cultural history. Recommended.
- triple vinyl pressing
- gatefold sleeve
- digital download included
- music label: Analog Africa 2018
