"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)

Left Ear Records is an independent record label based in Melbourne, Australia. They release a mix of music old and new, and across a number of genres including funk, jazz, reggae, blues, synth and disco. Antipodean Anomalies is a compilation curated by Chris Bonato and Umut Turkeri, and they provided the following background - “For musicians inhabiting the Antipodean countries of Australia and New Zealand during the 70’s and 80’s, it was a geographically and culturally isolating environment. Boutique shops, community radio and mail order exchanges championed independent and contemporary music from across the globe. It was, however, this isolation that caused a number of small community-focused scenes to evolve, creating their own unique interpretation and reappropriation of outside influences. Through both these scenes and government initiatives, a vast amount of music emerged on self-released and independent labels. Yet, even among small scenes that were creating unique sounds, a number of artists seemed to be making music that was neither here nor there, often meshing together numerous genres and influences to create anomalous sounds.” Left Ear’s left-of-center aesthetic meshes neatly with these rediscovered tracks, with the A-side focusing on complex rhythms and unique vocal treatments, with more synth-driven work on the flip. Olev Muska’s "Karjapoisi Lugu (A Shepherd's Tale)" blends traditional Ethiopian folk with cutting-edge technology, with stuttering sequenced drums and quirky keyboard rhythms that make this worthy of listening to on a loop. "Don't Ask" by Free Radicals makes use of sampled human breathing, flute trills, and flanged bass to create a uniquely eerie vibe. "Woody" by Nic Leon is an impeccable mix of strings and electronics, neatly sequenced elements providing structure for experimental strings and chimes. The set ends with the dense, atmospheric “City Of The Sun” by Rainbow Generator, classical instrumentation meets drum machine meets spoken word poetry. This record is a truly unique take on post punk / dub sounds, each track uniquely fresh in its own way. Includes a printed insert with information about the original records these tracks were culled from and liner notes from the creators of each track.
