Watch out fi dis! Major Lazer is back to free the universe! For their sophomore full length, Diplo comes through as solo executive producer to drop heaters all over the place to shake up the sound system. The Major Lazer sound is constantly evolving, but here it’s still rooted in heavy dancehall, fused with electro, trap, bounce, and all manner of EDM to mash up the place something proper. They went all out for the limited edition vinyl release of Free The Universe and pressed it on red and yellow vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with fold out mini poster and download card! Be sure to sign up for a restock email notification on the right hand side of the Free The Universe page to be the first to know when it comes in.

In addition to the vinyl release of Free The Universe, Major Lazer has teamed up with Kid Robot for an official vinyl figure! All the awesomeness of the lazer-totin’, universe-saving soldier known as Major Lazer is captured in this badass vinyl toy that sports his signature prosthetic lazer arm, commando beret, bandolier (filled with mics), and extra shiny shades. Kid Robot definitely got his renegade eighties commando style down! Sign up for that restock notification email so you can get yours.

By now you’ve probably had your fill of the hype surrounding Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories and are wondering how the album stacks up. Well TTL’s Von Bee has done the hard work and written up an in-depth review, including audio samples. We’ll be getting a limited number of copies of the 180 gram double LP, so be sure to sign up for a restock email notification on the right hand side of the Random Access Memories page.

Scientific Dub is a Clocktower classic! The Scientist at his best, dubbing out roots tracks with precision and skill. One of the standouts is the Dub Chemist’s run through of The Tamlins’ “Baltimore.” Check out the OG and the Scientists version below. Then head over to Turntable Lab to cop the triple colored (red, green and gold, no less) 10″ vinyl boxset of Scientific Dub.

Originally released in 2004 The World Of Arthur Russell, Soul Jazz Records’ comprehensive 3LP compilation of Arthur Russell tracks, helped to reintroduce the work of the storied cellist and avant-disco pioneer to the world. We were lucky to get our hands on a few of the 2009 repress and recommend that you get yours before they’re gone for good. The compilation includes classics like Loose Joints’ “Is It All Over My Face” and Dinosaur L’s “Go Bang,” along side harder to find cuts such as Russell’s amazing “In The Light Of The Miracle” and “A Little Lost.” It’s the perfect introduction to Russell’s work and includes plenty of tracks that will cost plenty of coin if you can find them in their original 12″ form.

One of the lab’s most anticipated for Record Store Day 2013. Never has there been a legit pressing of Things Fall Apart with original artwork until now. The crossover album displayed the power of collective thought and what a Hip Hop album could be. Featuring Mos Def, Jazzy Jeff, Erykah Badu and production by Scott Storch and Dilla, there is absolutely no wrong that can come from this…. other than MCA giving Jill Scott (original co-writer / Singer on You Got Me) the boot for a bigger name that Ms. Badu was. We sold out within a few days of the first batch and now we managed to snag a few more just for you.

The Roots Things Fall Apart (Record Store Day, 180g) 2LP is now available at Turntable Lab.

The Record Store Day exlcusivo features the OG version of Open (quite the panty dropper) backed with the Instrumental and a killer live version.
