"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)

"Diggin' in the carts?" Yes, you read correctly and that isn't a typo. For Diggin In The Carts, Hyperdub head honcho Kode9 teams up with Nick Dwyer (co-director/writer of the RBMA series of the same name) to unearth rare electronic music, sourced from obscure Japanese video games of the 80's/early 90's. The duo have curated an absolutely stunning selection of deep cartridge cuts (many of which from games that most people have never heard of - this reviewer included) that break the boundaries of what "video game music" should sound like. Of course, contemporary video game music can be any kind of professionally recorded music, but at this period, video game composers were restrained to a very limited tool set - making these tracks all the more revelatory.
"From Soshi Hosoi's Steve Reich like minimalism in Mister Diviner from The Majhong Touhaiden, to the dazzling high-tech chip soul of Toshiharu Yamanishi's Shooting Stars from legendary Mega Drive shooter Thunder Force IV, and not forgetting the saw tooth heavy darkness of the Konami Kukeiha Club on titles like Mouryou Senki Madara and Esper Dream II, Diggin in The Carts, aims to bring the pleasure and depth of this music to an audience inside and outside the gaming world." - Hyperdub
Presented on heavy 180 gram double vinyl in translucent yellow and orange, complete with gatefold sleeve, and 3 printed inserts featuring an original manga from Studio °4C artist Koji Morimoto, and detailed liner notes in English and Japanese by curators Kode9 and Nick Dwyer. Recommended.
