Flesh O.N.E.’s mixer faceplates improve upon the original with enhanced durability, speed, and style. Engineered with meticulous attention to detail and design they are built to last, built to impress, and most importantly, built to scratch.
Merging graffiti art and turntablism, scratch artist Flesh O.N.E exclusively selects each graffiti artist based on their artistic longevity, community involvement, and innovative style. The artists represent the best of the best.
Black powder coat paint (the highest grade available) is applied to a textured aluminum base. A heating process melts the powder into the minute grooves of the metal for complete adhesion. The process results in a slick, hard-wearing base. A lightly textured plastic covers the enhanced aluminum. Months of research and testing went into choosing the transparent, super resilient material. It also features a fine texture that improves scratch speed, helping stop stick while freeing hands to slide. Silk screens of the artist's design appear underneath the plastic overlay. Silk screen paint appears significantly brighter and fades less than digital printing. The durable overlay protects the valuable artwork from contact. After the overlay application, openings are laser cut to produce the cleanest edges and most accurate fit producible. The end product is an incredible faceplate that outperforms the standard—style combined with an improved surface and greater durability.

MARS, a.k.a Mario Martinez
MARS, is a visual artist with a street background. Growing up in Fresno, MARS picked up his first can of spray paint at age 13, and he hasn't stopped doing graffiti since. His work can be seen on walls throughout San Francisco, where he currently resides. Besides walls, MARS also works on canvas and computer, and his fine art has been shown in galleries throughout the United States. His unique style has been described as urban-Gothic, a dimensional grid of self-echoing harmonics, and sci-fi abstracted, quasi-organic form.
