Description
GENRE BNDR is a DJ Culture brand dedicated to connecting music beyond genre boundaries.
HIP-HOP, R&B, SOUL, JAZZ, LATIN, HOUSE…
Using the sound heard on real dance floors as its standard, GENRE BNDR designs “Music as Culture” from a DJ’s perspective.

Designed with DVS (control vinyl) performance in mind, this special edition model combines Made-in-Japan precision with the authentic sensibilities of DJ culture. The headshell is finished with the GENRE BNDR logo.
Choose from four front cartridge design variations.
