"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)

Helium is the whopping fourth full-length Peter Sagar’s released since leaving his post as guitarist for Mac Demarco’s touring band in 2014. The record sports more synths, keyboards and drum machines than any previous Homeshake album, demonstrating Sagar’s resilience as a songwriter with decreased reliance on his main instrument. Anyone already familiar with Sagar’s music - or Macky’s slack indie pop, even - will find slipping into Helium’s rich, hypercolor grooves quite effortless. Like the album title suggests, it’s a bit like experiencing familiar strains of smooth jazz, pop and R&B while sucking on a giant balloon, with sugary melodies inspired by Young Thug and modernist lyrics inspired by Haruki Murakami’s surrealism. Riding the sparse saltwater trap of “Anything At All,” Sagar recites millennial credos like “Everyone I know / lives in my cell phone” and “I should probably put this down / I don’t need a thing right now” with a single detuned snare pulling double duty for an absentee kick drum and a bassline that only surfaces during the hook. Next, on lead single “Like Mariah,” a big cartoony MIDI slap bass straight out of Dean Blunt’s book propels Sagar's crooning in trademark Mimi falsetto style. “Nothing Could Be Better,” “Just Like My,” “Other Than,” “(Secret Track)” and the vintage Triple 6 vibes of “All Night Long” are also in heavy rotation here in the Lab office. Indie exclusive aqua blue pressing with download code and printed insert, recommended.
- aqua blue colored vinyl
- indie exclusive
- includes printed insert
- limited to 1000 copies
- digital download included
- music label: Sinderlyn 2019
