"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)

Lone release from '80's Brazilian duo, reissued in full for the first time. First released in 1988, A Festa E Nossa was the only album released by Grupo Controle Digital, a duo composed of Billy Jaguar and Gel Valiery. Influenced by such contemporaries as Tim Maia and Secos E Molhados, the album features lo-fi synths, cruising bass lines, and drum machine rhythms that make it sound like some kind of cross between new-wave, synth-pop, and proto hip-hop. After it's release and the death of Gel in the 90's, the album faded into obscurity until relatively recently, when the title track “A Festa E Nossa” (a dancefloor gem) circulated the last few years in DJ sets, eventually being included on the Onda De Amor - Synthesized Brazilian Hits That Never Were (1984-94) compilation put out by Soundway earlier this year. Now, clean copies of the original album go for triple digits on the second-hand market, so this remastered reissue (from the original tapes) is the next best thing. The sound is surprisingly similar to another Soundway release, Gumba Fire: Bubblegum Soul & Synth-Boogie in 1980s South Africa. 10 tracks in all, housed in heavyweight tip-on sleeve. Recommended.
