The thin felt disc between the record and platter is more important than it looks. Here's everything about slipmats and how to use them properly.
Slipmats for control and protection
Slipmats are a core part of vinyl DJing, helping you manage grip, spin and cueing while also protecting records and platters. In this slipmats category, you will find options suited to mixing, scratching and everyday deck use, whether you are playing at home, rehearsing or performing live.
Choose the right feel
Different slipmats offer different levels of friction, thickness and surface texture, which can affect back-cueing, beatmatching and turntable response. A well-chosen slipmats setup can make a direct-drive deck feel more precise, while a softer or smoother mat may suit relaxed mixing and general record handling.
Built for DJs and vinyl users
This slipmats category is ideal for DJs who want better handling on their turntables, as well as collectors who want to reduce wear during play. From classic felt styles to specialist designs, slipmats remain a simple but important accessory for keeping your vinyl setup performing reliably.
