Technics is using one of the most recognisable names in modern DJ culture to kick off its 55th anniversary campaign for the iconic SL-1200 turntable series. Technics has announced an exclusive all-vinyl DJ set from Japanese DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U (Yousuke Yukimatsu), filmed at Tokyo Tower as part of the company’s campaign ahead of the SL-1200’s 55th anniversary in 2027. The series subsequently evolved around the needs of DJs, with models such as the SL-1200MK2 introducing more accurate rotation control and other features designed specifically for DJ performance. For retailers and distributors, the anniversary provides Technics with a high-profile opportunity to drive renewed attention towards the premium turntable category. Though the SL-1200 anniversary campaign will culminate in 2027, Technics is starting the celebration early with Yukimatsu’s performance.
