DRM-7843 - 12" DJ Slipmat

The DRM-7843 12″ DJ Slipmat takes its influence from industrial storage drums, chemical containers and worn factory markings. Built to look like a heavily weathered steel barrel lid, the artwork combines deep military green, corrosion, burnt orange rust and distressed stencil typography for a convincing industrial finish.

Across the centre, Jump the Dark appears in oversized worn lettering beneath a band of yellow-and-black hazard stripes. Smaller markings including Industrial Chemicals Div., TOX. LVL: 087, Batch: JTD-26 and the DRM-7843 identification code complete the fictional chemical-drum aesthetic. Rusted fittings, chipped paint and oxidised edges give the entire 12-inch circle the appearance of aged metal rather than a conventional printed graphic.

Made in the UK with a smooth glazed surface for extra slip, DRM-7843 combines functional DJ use with an original piece of industrial-style turntable artwork. Designed and printed in-house by Jump the Dark, it's made for DJs, vinyl collectors and alternative setups looking for something rawer than the usual record deck accessories.

DESIGN BREAKDOWN

Artwork:
DRM-7843 transforms the platter into the lid of an old industrial chemical drum. Layers of simulated rust, oxidised metal, chipped green paint and distressed edges create the heavily weathered appearance.

A strip of yellow-and-black hazard markings cuts through the upper section, while oversized JUMP THE DARK stencil lettering dominates the centre. Fictional batch numbers, toxicity markings and industrial identification codes are scattered across the surface to build the chemical-container concept.

The rusty circular fittings at the top and bottom complete the illusion, with the round format deliberately designed to work with the shape of a 12-inch turntable platter.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Slipmats are not designed for regular washing, so we recommend keeping cleaning to a minimum. Store flat when not in use and avoid folding, sharply bending or creasing the mat to help maintain its shape. For occasional marks, gently spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or bleach, and always allow to air dry completely before placing back on your turntable. Natural wear may develop over time with regular use.
