"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

"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)

"Muzikawi presents the first reissue of Teodros Makonnen With His Organ, released in collaboration with Teodros Makonnen under exclusive license. The album has been carefully restored and remastered, and is presented across a double LP, pressed at Optimal Media, and housed in a gatefold sleeve replicating the original sleeve artwork, accompanied by extensive liner notes in English and Amharic, as well as previously unpublished photographs from the archives of Teodros' friend and long-time collaborator Teferi 'Bibisha' Mengesha. Some recordings herald the future in ways that are impossible to see in real time. Teodros Makonnen With His Organ, by the artist Teodros Makonnen, also known as Teddy Mak, is one of those. Today, electronic sounds, synthesizers, and digital production are taken for granted in Ethiopian music, but in the early 1980s, they were novelties that polarized opinion. Teodros Makonnen With His Organ is a cornerstone of the early digital sounds of Ethiopian music, originally released on cassette only, and has remained more or less unknown outside of Ethiopia until now. It is a pioneering home recording made in Ethiopia, recorded directly to tape in a single take on a Yamaha double-deck keyboard at the residence of a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Addis Ababa, recasting traditional songs in a wholly electronic style of atmospheric drum machines and hypnotic synth organs, opening new paths for musical dreaming." - Muzikawi
- black double vinyl pressing (please note: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)
- limited edition
- original release year: circa 1980s
- music label: Muzikawi 2026
