Face it: drinking and records are two things that just go together. Whether you're blasting the new Hot 97 shit in the sweaty-ass club or lying in bed weeping gently and listening to your scratched up copy of Pink Moon (what?), it's always nice to have a cold brew in your hand. Enter Technics' new headshell replica keychain, which will not only draw stares from dudes who own multiple DMC World Championship DVDs, but also help crack open a cold one for you (and any little filly you might be courting). This thing is heavy duty (literally shit feels like it weighs a pound) and comes attached to a huge keyring, since I guess it's all the rage to have like 50 keys now? (So we can call you the piano man?) Recommended.

This one is a must for DJs that spin off of USB sticks and SD cards (or media people always on the move with pics/videos). You already know how easy it is to damage flash devices, and when you're 4-5 hour set for that dream gig is sitting on a few 8, 16, or 32GB drives, key rings are just not the way to go. Constructed of waterproof ballistic nylon, The Magma Digi Stick Case features 4 flexible neoprene USB stick holders, a mesh pocket for SD cards (or business cards, headphone adaptors, etc) as well as a high quality zipper to keep everything secure. Measures 3" x 5" x 1".

Keep your 1200 clean and dust free with Decksaver's high quality custom dust cover. These dust covers fit securely over the unit and feature a slick smoked/clear tint so you can still see the table through the polycarbonate material (way better than acrylic which is prone to cracking). The use of polycarbonate also means that thinner material can be used, making for discrete, strong yet attractive protection for your Technics. Protect your investment and reduce the risk of damage caused by dust and impact when not in use. Designed and manufactured in the UK, good for the bedroom DJ or the club owner. Recommended.

KEY FEATURES

• custom fits Technics 1200/1210
• constructed of polycarbonate
• smoke tint

Keep your DJM-900 clean and dust free with Decksaver's high quality custom dust cover. These dust covers fit securely over the unit and feature a slick smoked/clear tint so you can still see the controls through the polycarbonate material (way better than acrylic which is prone to cracking). Protect your investment and reduce the risk of damage caused by dust and impact when not in use. Designed and manufactured in the UK, good for the bedroom DJ or the club owner.

These cones are machined from high quality stainless steel (much higher grade than the standard aluminum ones we carry). In addition to looking much nicer (the finish looks like the factory adaptors from the Technics 1200), these cones are the heaviest we carry, excellent for stability and durability. If you don't use cone style adaptors already, you need to make the switch as it's much easier to switch on and off records while DJing or just listening. Recommended.

Cone-shaped 45 adapters from Get On Down with a fun twist - they glow in the dark! The design allows for easy placement of 7 inches on turntables, and the phosphorescent properties of the adapters provide a nice visual in club settings.

LAB REVIEW

High quality USB Flat Cable from Oyaide. These D+ Series cables were designed for professional performance (whether DJing or Production) and offer superior transmission, reliability, and durability (for an in-depth explanation, read our Oyaide interview on the blog). In addition to its striking design, these cables use only high quality materials (from the casings to the inner-coatings to the wire itself). In addition, the signature flat cable design was implemented to prevent both distortion and wear.

In our opinion, something as fundamental as a cable should never negatively effect your musical setup. Upgrade your generic cable to these tested and proven Oyaide cables and put your focus on technique and performance. Since their introduction in our store, Lab DJs have been quickly switching over to Oyaide cables with only positive results. The lifetime warranty seals the deal.

The second installment of Serato Artist Series features Misery, the alter-ego of prominent New Zealand-born artist Tanja Jade. Her signature characters - which are "cheeky, whimsical, cute, and always dark" - grace the super lightweight control vinyl, with sides a and b done in different colorways. This limited edition pressing is one of Misery's final commissions, as Jade has decided to part with the "overbearing, dark influence" after 13 years, rendering the pic disc an instant collectible. One record per package, so act quick and seriously consider grabbing doubles!

Canada's Records On Walls brings us these unique record frames that are not only very functional, but also very affordable!

The records can be easily swapped out by simply sliding the them out and putting a new one in. Buy multiple frames and line 'em up on your wall to show off your most prized vinyl acquisitions. Recommended.

Official replacement cable from AIAIAI, specifically made for the TMA-1.

• Coiled version is 5.2 feet long and recommended for DJing or studio applications.
• The Straight version is 3.9 feet long and lighter and recommended for everyday listening.

One of the many great features of the TMA-1's design is the ability to easily swap out the ear cushions. Anyone who has heavily gigged on a pair of headphones knows how terrible it feels when the ear pads wear out. These replacement ear pads make the TMA's feel fresh as new and simply snap right in. Sold in pairs.

• Semi-Leather version feature firmer padding and higher level of isolation.
• Synthetic version has softer feel and softer padding with a lower (but still high) level of isolation.

MANUFACTURER'S REVIEW

With VRM Box, you can mix in your studio, wherever you are. Pocket sized and built to last, VRM Box places Focusrite's proven and patent-pending VRM's Virtual Reference Monitoring technology in a robust, palm-sized audio interface.

VRM overcomes the major obstacle for mixing with headphones by giving you multiple perspectives on your mix, as if you were listening through speakers. Indeed, noise levels from mixing through speakers can make it impossible for most to mix at home, especially late at night; with VRM, you can mix any time, anywhere. Using any pair of monitoring headphones, VRM lets you choose your mixing environment from a living room, a bedroom studio, or a professional studio. You then simply choose from a list of industry-standard studio monitors and speakers.

VRM Box functions as a high-quality 24-bit/48kHz USB audio playback interface. So, whether you're mixing, creating music or simply listening to tracks, VRM Box is perfect. What's more, there's no need for a power supply or batteries, because it gets all the power it needs, with full audio quality, from your computer's USB port. VRM Box also features a digital (S/PDIF) input, which supports sample rates up to 192kHz. This allows you to run it in conjunction with your Pro Tools HD system, or any other interface with an S/PDIF output.

This is the updated Groovy Cleaner Kit that now comes with 2 oz. of Groovy Cleaning Fluid, anti-static cloth, microfiber brush, and storage bag. This is a true story: Back at Lab II, we had a undersized pit of an office. Uno day, we had a water leak in our ceiling. The crud-filled water soaked our vinyl gems. The water dried and left a thick film of grime that stuck to the vinyl like shepard's pie. We sprayed a little somethin' somethin' of Groovy Cleaner, and no joke this shit made the records sound better than before. Even some noticeable cracks had disappeared. Electric Ladyland never sounded so sweet. Now we swear to this stuff. This bottle paid for itself when it miracle cleaned a bunch of 45s we picked up at the flea market. This package will clean 25-30 LPs.
