DJ Shadow® × Dr. Suzuki "Action Adventure" 12" Slipmats (Pair, Made in Japan)

About the DJ Shadow × Dr. Suzuki collaboration

DJ Shadow has always been a crate digger first, and his 2023 album Action Adventure is about exactly that: his life as a collector, his records and tapes, built into 14 mostly instrumental tracks with no guest features. It came out October 27, 2023 on Mass Appeal / Liquid Amber, and the title nods to the action/adventure aisle of an old video store. These slipmats were made alongside the album, with artwork based on its jacket design, and built in Japan on the same Dr. Suzuki platform DJs have trusted for more than 40 years.

Built for mixing and changing records

These are built like the Dr. Suzuki Mix Edition: thicker and heavier than a scratch mat, with enough grip that the record stays where you put it while you ride the pitch and nudge the platter. The extra weight also keeps the mat on the platter when you lift a record off, so your next record goes straight on. You can still scratch on it, and a slipsheet underneath loosens the feel. Works for any genre, and with DVS control vinyl for Serato, Rekordbox and Traktor.
