For DJs and club owners on the scene, the most frightening thing is probably equipment trouble.
In particular, rowdy club goers spilling their drinks or bumping into equipment in the booth during a DJ changeover can be especially chilling. DJ equipment such as turntables and CDJs are not cheap, so it’s necessary to draw a plan to keep them safe so you can keep using them for a long time.
Here are some tips that have become common practice in the DJ scene in recent years,
Put a DECKSAVER on your equipment when you are not using it!
In other words, cover your equipment to protect it from spilled drinks and contact problems. This is becoming a standard in the nightclub industry, especially in European clubs.
What is DECKSAVER?
DECKSAVER is a brand of DJ protective covers founded by Mustafa El-Etriby in 2008 in Leeds in northern England. DECKSAVER protective covers are made of polycarbonate, an extremely durable plastic material that is also used in bulletproof glass.
Each model fits perfectly to the contours of the equipment and protects it from dust, liquids, smoke fumes, and impacts. The protective cover itself is so thin that most cases can be stored with the DECKSAVER cover over them when transporting the equipment!
DECKSAVER is a strong ally of DJs, but let's check out its strength as an equipment cover!
【Testing the Durability of DECKSAVER Covers!】
Watch the video to see the strength of DECKSAVER's equipment covers!
VS. spanner
VS. DJ CITY commentary man jumps
VS. Automobile (wagon type)
The cover doesn’t lose to scratches, a big man's jumping, and it doesn’t lose to being run over by a wagon car with an estimated weight of 1 ton! We are extremely surprised at its toughness. It seems to have no problem with everyday impacts from clubbing. It is no wonder that this is the highest standard in the industry.
According to the DECKSAVER website, the founder Mustafa's younger brother accidentally broke his cherished Pioneer DJ deck, which led to the creation of DECKSAVER. You can feel the brotherly love between them. In fact, Mustafa used to be a DJ himself, so the product perfectly meets the needs of DJs!
A must-have item for DJ booths!
While I hope that DECKSAVER will gain more recognition and popularity in Japan as well, I would like to introduce some examples of its adoption in other countries!
