A modern slipmat

Shaped by Design.

  • Slipcore is an independent design and fabrication workshop focused on one very specific interface: the point of contact between a record and a turntable.

    At the center of Slipcore is an established construction developed through extensive experimentation with material, thickness, density, layering, glide and feel. The result is a slipmat engineered as functional hardware, not decoration or an afterthought.

  • Every Slipcore mat is cut, assembled and finished by hand using that same foundation. Our house designs represent the system in its purest form, while custom builds extend it through different materials, dimensions, graphics, layering and applications. Everything is designed and fabricated locally in small quantities.

    Built with an obsession to create the best spinning mattress for your records possible. If you love vinyl just for the sake of vinyl as much as we do, you'll get it.

  • Three ways we build:

    Yoou can get Slipcore slipmats three different ways.

    With your custom art, the 7" crater, and the plain Slipcore logo editions."

    Custom Substrate Art

    The Slipcore construction becomes a medium of its own. Custom substrate pieces explore cut forms, graphics, layering, color, material and surface as functional artwork made to live directly on the turntable. Each is individually designed and fabricated while retaining the material and performance principles behind Slipcore.

    7" Crater"

    An original Slipcore invention designed specifically for 7-inch records. The Crater removes the need for the center spindle by recessing the record into a precisely cut pocket within the foam substrate. Drop a 7" into the Crater and it seats naturally into place, centered and surrounded by the mat itself. A completely different physical relationship between record and platter, designed and developed exclusively by Slipcore.

    Foam + Felt

    The Slipcore original. A purpose-built combination of soft foam substrate and felt playing surface that adds cushion, isolation and a more substantial feel while maintaining the familiar glide of a traditional slipmat. Finished with the Slipcore logo, this is our everyday mat: minimal, functional, and built to be used.
