Happily Never After - 12" DJ Slipmat

The Happily Never After 12″ DJ Slipmat takes the classic fairytale ending and twists it into something darker. A crowned storybook princess sits at the centre of a strange fantasy world surrounded by a distant castle, monstrous flowers, skulls, roses, melting candles, an hourglass and an ornate key.

Created specifically for the circular shape of a 12-inch turntable platter, the illustration fills the surface with detail from edge to edge. Deep reds, faded blues, antique creams and warm golden tones give the design an aged storybook character, while the darker gothic elements turn the familiar fairytale aesthetic into something altogether more sinister.

Made in the UK and finished with a smooth glazed surface for extra slip, it's designed for DJs as well as vinyl collectors looking to transform the appearance of their turntable. The original artwork is designed and printed in-house by Jump the Dark, creating a functional DJ slipmat that looks just as distinctive sitting on the deck as it does in motion.

DESIGN BREAKDOWN

Artwork:
A crowned princess sits at the centre of a distorted storybook world, looking upwards as a winding path disappears towards a gothic castle beneath an oversized moon.

Around her, the fairytale begins to unravel. A one-eyed carnivorous flower emerges beside a twisted tree, while a skull, melting candles, old books, red roses, an ornate key and a running hourglass fill the surrounding scene. An antique mirror reflects the distant castle, adding another layer to the strange world surrounding the central character.

The combination of dark fantasy, gothic imagery and vintage storybook illustration gives Happily Never After its identity — familiar enough to feel like a lost fairytale, but with the ending clearly having gone very wrong.

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.
