April 6, 2022

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 50 years since the the launch of the industry standard DJ turntable, the SL-1200. Technics will mark this milestone with a limited edition SL-1200M71.

Technics SL-1200 series 50th Anniversary

The SL-1200M7 is built around the 2019 MK7 turntable coming in 7 different colours with a badge and engraved serial number made specially for the 50th anniversary of the iconic turntable. Buyers also get a limited edition slipmat with gold Technics logo.

12,000 units will be made available costing something in the region of £900. A celebratory global live stream event will be held on Boiler Room TV 2pm GMT today featuring DJs including the UKs Giles Peterson and Mala.

Took part in the transition to digital course as to try some different equipment before taking the plunge. Had a great time, Jay was extremely informative and I've had my eyes opened to organising my digital catalogue amongst other things. Top notch stuff at On The Rise !

I have just finished a 3 day advanced scratching course with Jon1st and I'm absolutely buzzing. Jon's way of teaching, taught me more than I ever expected possible in just 3 days. Guys, I wanna thank you personally for taking on board everything I explained in our first phone conversation's and nailing every aspect of what I wanted to achieve. You both knew exactly what I needed to get me over the mental block I had with my scratching style, and having Jon1st as my teacher was a honour and .....well, sick!! His teaching style and ability to simplify and brake down patterns,routines and juggles made it massively simple to understand. Walking away with 3 new scratches and beat juggling under my belt is an unbelievable achievement. Thank you so much.

It was my first time visiting London, and was on the hunt of a good source to learn from specific needs, so there was OTR in which I was hesitant to book with at first, but after going for it and taking a couple of lessons, it was what I expected and more. I learnt a lot from the whole team and just couldn't have enough so I had to go back again and learn more!

Just finished the production course at On The Rise and couldn't be happier! I was very nervous before starting, especially as I have no music background but the guys put me at ease straight away and my tutor Alex was fantastic and went through everything slowly and was happy to repeat sections to make sure I had grasped all the tools. I would recommend coming here to anyone looking to make a start in music production. Keep up the great work guys!

My one day DJ course was just such a laugh with Jay. It was just the right mix of technical information, learning and generally having fun and playing some of my favourite party tunes. Jay is a great teacher, very patient and answered all of my questions. I now know what an utter skill and art there is to DJing. Unfortunately, I just want to learn more now!!!
