Dr. Suzuki's Skratch 12" slipmats: a pair of slick, low-static scratch mats hand built in Japan, with slipsheets included. The successor to Dr. Suzuki's third-series Tablecloth mat, the Skratch is made from upgraded anti-static fabric with treated edges that resist fraying, for smooth backspins, cuts and mixing session after session. Comes as a pair, with two slipsheets and a reusable window jacket.

  • Built for scratching. A smooth, single-level surface with just enough grip for fast cuts, backspins and doubles.
  • Anti-static fabric. Helps stop records from clinging and dragging, a common problem with standard felt mats.
  • Treated edges. Heat-treated and coated to resist fraying and keep the center hole from stretching out.
  • Pair, with slipsheets. Two mats, two slipsheets and a reusable record jacket with a window for storage.
  • Hand built in Japan. Like every Dr. Suzuki slipmat.

About the Skratch 12"

The Skratch is Dr. Suzuki's go-to scratch mat, developed as the successor to the third-series Tablecloth with newer, more durable, anti-static fabric. It's a flat, one-level mat, unlike Dr. Suzuki's Kuttin' Donuts. Our customers use it on Technics turntables and with Rane and Phase setups, and many switched from Butter Rugs or wax paper under felt mats for less static and less drag. With more than 70 reviews averaging 4.9 stars, it's one of the most-loved products in our store.

The slipmats were exactly what needed. They’re super smooth and help take away the lag with my rane 12’s. Would definitely buy again.

Love these slipmats feel great and look great with my setup

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

I had a set of original Dilated Peoples slip matts with butters under. 20 years later the holes got blown out. I now feel like my scratches and rhythm have graduated to a new level. Very pleased with my purchase!

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Works great & very satisfied!

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

I like to flip mine over after using them, they tend to let off some of the static buildup that acrues after a few days of heavy use.

Super dope, ultra nice, so Smooth Big respect from thrid World- Colombia

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Nothin' better than new slipmats and control vinyls at the same time. The Dr. Suzuki Skratch mats rule. They stay slick for more than a good session. I give 'em 5 stars. The only downside is that after a few days of good scratchin' they seem to trap static buildup on the platter. The fix is quick and easy, just take them off for 30 minutes after a session. It's better than switching mats in one session, every 20 minutes.

Great product at a great price. These are the best slip mats I’ve ever had!

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Thicker than butter rugs thinner than traditional slip mat. Think surf board vs boogie board vs piece of board.

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

📢"AYO"!!! I was usin' the Standard "Butter Rugs" for the past Several Years, and they Definitely did the Job...but I DID kinda notice that there was a lil' too much Traction sometimes with Some records. I had always Troubeshot other alternatives, and I had BEEN came across a few noteworthy Contenders....and the "Dr. Suzuki" joints was my TOP Choice. It DEFintely Took me a Minute to eventually Purchase'em(Life be Lifin'🤷🏾‍♂️Lol), but I finally Did....and These joints are "VALID"!!!🙌🏾 The 4Ward & Backspins are Mad "Smooth & Slick" on it!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥 (GREAT Buy, and Y'all Did me a "SOLID"!)✊🏾🫡

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

I have tried a lot of slipmats including butter rugs, These are my favorite by far. They are the Best Slipmats ever in my opinion.

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Best slipmats I’ve ever used for scratching. Had a couple sets of butter rugz which were fine, but they’d fray. These look and feel like excellent.

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

I was skeptical at first. After receiving the mats, I was amazed how effortless back spins and scratches were with Phase.

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

I’m a long time butter rug user but couldn’t stand frequent static cling and shocks from my vinyl. Gave the Suzuki’s a shot and my vinyl is much easier to manipulate without any static. Will definitely purchase again, especially if the Technics versions come back in stock. Thanks!

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Love these slip mats and highly recommend. Buttery smooth and consistent with no sign of static even after multi-hour scratch sessions. If you like to scratch, do yourself a favor and buy a pair of Dr. Suzuki scratch slip mats.

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

The best slipping, thinnest(while still very strong) mats I've come across. Had to get some backups in case these things become rare. I don't want to be without!

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Great slip mats! I’d Recommend to any up and coming Dj like myself! Couple experienced Dj’s recommended them! Dope!!

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Quality engineering, great performance.

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

Love these slipmats! I use to have the traditional slipmat with wax paper underneath which would occasionally build up a lot of static electricity and cause the records to drag. But with these, there hasn't been any static electric build-up or drag. These slipmats have a great feel and just enough grip to rock doubles or do intricate skratches.

Customer photo review of Dr. Suzuki - Skratch 12" Slipmat + Slipsheet Pair

The Best!
