UK - Denon's flagship DN-S5000 CD player, with turntable, along with its tabletop companion, the DN-S3000, can now be road-protected. Leading DJ bag supplier, UDG, has been commissioned to produce purpose-designed, padded shoulder bags for the two popular products.

Manufactured in a heavy nylon weave - with a generous provision of pockets - the bags incorporate the famous Denon DJ graphic. Now in production, the new bags will be available from distributors with effect from this month's PLASA Show in London.

Said D&M Pro Europe's David Atkinson: "This is the first time we have supplied kit with their own bespoke, branded bags, and I must say they look fabulous." UDG (Ultimate DJ Gear) started out four years a go with the production of the SoftBag. Many DJs - such as Tiesto, Carl Cox and Paul van Dyk - are using its products, and using this feedback UDG is striving towards producing the perfect record bag. The company is headquartered in The Netherlands, with regional offices in Bangkok, New York and Berlin.
