STOCK CHECK

When you view an item in our shopping cart, it automatically does a stock check to see if that item is available. If that item is not available, red text will appear, informing you that an item is out of stock. This feature dramatically cuts down the number of orders that go through with sold out items.

Turntable Lab was established in 1998 by Anthony Cattarina, Jasper Goggins, and Peter Hahn. The trio formed the idea for Turntable Lab based on numerous negative experiences at stores that sold dj equipment, both big musical instrument chains and shady Canal Street stereo stores. Turned off by haggling, uninformed salesmen, and questionable product, Turntable Lab built its business on fair pricing, informed reviews, and a well researched selection of “Lab approved” items. Over 90% of the Lab's employees are working djs / producers / musicians, which helps to ensure this high standard.

The business model was an immediate success, establishing rapid growth and a dedicated customer base. Turntable Lab soon applied their business model to other areas including recorded music, production equipment, clothing, books, etc. Each expansion has been a great success, and today Turntable Lab is a recognized leader and tastemaker in all those areas.

To bring the Turntable Lab experience directly to consumers, Turntable Lab opened its first retail location in 2001. In December of 2005, Turntable opened its new flagship store in Hollywood, California. Currently the Turntable Lab headquarters is located in Brooklyn, New York.
