"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

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

Erzulie Oh! This killer double vinyl set traces the convergence of several international and homegrown styles and flavors during what is now considered the golden period of musical innovation in Haiti. Exhaustive research by the Ostinato Records crew yielded a bevy of recordings that "encompass the vast diversity of styles during the seminal years of musical innovation and percussive potency in Haiti. From the legendary, elegant big band dance parties in iconic nightclubs of Port-au-Prince to the rhythms of the countryside; from accordion-driven meringue and Vodou-derived drum patterns, to hypnotic tenor sax arrangements and psychedelic interpretations of folklore, the music of 1960's, '70's, & '80's Haiti enjoys a royal repute across the Caribbean, West Africa, and the Colombian coast." You can sense traces of the same sweltering tropical heat and ghosts of colonial oppression that contributed to the birth of calypso, soca, ska and reggae, but the laidback disposition of the players still comes through strongly. Zotobre's "Lagen," which leads off the comp, opens with a fury of tribal drumming and frantic accordian playing, then breaks into a groove as cool as any Blue Note jazz circa 1964. Also check: Ibo Combo's "Souffrance," Tabou Combo's "Gislene," Chanel 10's "Lola," Les Pachas du Canape Vert's "Samba Pachas No. 2."
- double vinyl pressing
- deluxe gatefold sleeve
- 20 page booklet with extensive liner notes and photos
- music label: Ostinato Records 2017
