Dr. Suzuki has been refining slipmats in Japan for more than 40 years, and the Skratch Edition (and the D-Styles Tablecloth before it) set the standard for turntablists. The Mix Edition is the counterpart for DJs who mostly mix. It's thicker and has more grip than a scratch mat, so the record stays where you put it while you ride the pitch and nudge the platter. You can still scratch on it. For a looser feel, put a slipsheet underneath. It works for any genre, for routines and battles, and with DVS control vinyl for Serato, Rekordbox and Traktor.
Built for changing records
Ultra-light scratch mats like the Skratch can stick to the back of a record when you lift it off, held there by air pressure. Dr. Suzuki heard this from enough DJs who spin real records that they built the Mix Edition to fix it. It has more weight, so when you pull a record off the platter, the mat stays down and your next record goes straight on.

I much prefer this type of slipmat, the record sticks to it and it floats on the platter. Always felt a little funny using slipmats that the record slips on top of.. personal preference. Would recommend these for any DJ!
