Whether it happened strategically or not, the Teenage Engineering EP BC-1 CD Player has been leaked, and it’s such an exciting-looking piece of kit.
Just when you thought the EP series was somehow complete, Teenage Engineering has been developing something new. With CD sales on the rise, it only makes sense to expand the creative potential of the EP series with a player, and this one has variable playback speed.

Of course, Teenage Engineering couldn’t go with a familiar design we’ve seen before in a similar context. Nope, this CD player is completely “open air”, so the disc just clicks onto the spindle and you’re good to go. According to the official FFC designation, it’s called the EP BC-1 PROFESSIONAL CD PLAYER, and it’s equipped with a VARISPEED control, which the old heads like to call pitch control.
This means it’s undoubtedly a DJ tool, and a pair of these will slot in perfectly next to the EP-136 K.O. SIDEKICK mixer. What’s more, as the entire EP range of devices is portable and battery-powered, we can surely speculate about the likelihood of the BC-1 falling into the same category. Imagine that: a completely battery-powered set of DJ decks!
Naturally, EP–133 K.O. II users will also be rubbing their hands together in anticipation, as the BC-1 has amazing creative potential in a sample-based music production workflow, as it also has USB connectivity. This gives you a completely new expandable resource to draw from: your CD collection. What’s more, you have the ability to set up cue points and play songs back at different tempos, which gives you amazing flexibility.
Even if you’re just a fan of the funky Teenage Engineering designs, this is an awesome gadget that encourages you to start collecting physical music albums the way it was done in the 1990s. The BC-1 promises to be endless fun, and we can’t wait to find out when it will actually start shipping. Hopefully in 2027!
