A slipmat is a circular piece of slippery cloth or synthetic materials that DJs place on the turntable platter instead of the traditional rubber mat. Unlike the rubber mat which is made to keep hold of the record firmly in sync with the rotating platter, slipmats are designed to slip on the platter, allowing the DJ to manipulate a record on a turntable while the platter continues to rotate underneath. This is useful for holding a record still for slip-cueing, making minute adjustments during beat matching and mixing, and pulling the record back and forth for scratching. They are also very commonly used, simply as decoration for when a record isn't on the turntable. DMC - the founding company of DJ culture and forerunners of the DJ / Club movement ! DMC was founded in 1983 to develop and promote the art form of DJing. With its pioneering spirit, it was the first company to release legal DJ mix tapes and promote club culture via their magazines Mixmag (UK) and Mixer (USA). In 1985 it launched the annual DMC World DJ Championship, taking Battle DJs into a global competition to unearth the supreme DJ. DMC was the first organisation to take DJs and clubbers to the shores of Ibiza and to Miami’s Winter Music Conference in the early 80’s. It launched cutting edge record labels to nurture and develop DJs, producers and new artists and became a ground breaking player in the compilations market with titles including the much loved 'Back To Mine' series. DMC, dedicated to clubland for a quarter century remains - the most exclusive club in the DJ world.
