Hercules Mix Ultra: the new revolution in digital DJing
The Hercules Mix Ultra revolutionizes digital DJing: an ultra-portable, wireless, intuitive, and accessible controller for everyone, to mix anywhere, with total freedom.
Hercules Mix Ultra: a new era for digital DJing
The world of DJing has been undergoing a profound transformation for several years. Driven by the rise of smartphones, intuitive apps, and increasingly compact controllers, the art of mixing is gradually freeing itself from traditional constraints to become a mobile, spontaneous gesture accessible to everyone. It is in this context that Hercules, a historic player in the democratization of DJing, unveils its new controller: the DJControl Mix Ultra.
A controller designed for mobility and creative freedom
Presented at CES 2025 and already awarded the prestigious Best of Innovation Award in the Content & Entertainment category, the Mix Ultra perfectly embodies this new generation of creative tools. Ultra-portable and wireless, it connects directly to djay, one of the most popular and accessible apps on the market. This technological choice aims to make mixing as simple and intuitive as possible, whether you are a beginner or an experienced DJ seeking flexibility.
- Wireless connectivity: no more bulky cables, enjoy freedom of movement.
- Universal compatibility: works with smartphones, tablets, and computers.
- Ease of use: streamlined interface for immediate handling.
- Lightweight and durable: designed to accompany DJs everywhere, from the living room to the park.
Making DJing accessible for everyone
Since its beginnings in the early 2000s, Hercules has been on a mission to make DJing accessible to as many people as possible without sacrificing quality. The Mix Ultra continues this ambition by bridging the gap between the initial desire to mix and the often costly or complex professional equipment. It thus allows a new generation of DJs to express themselves freely, wherever they are.
This commitment was recently demonstrated at the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), where Hercules presented the Mix Ultra alongside Algoriddim in the ADE Lab. It was an opportunity to connect with a community of “digital DJs” for whom mixing is no longer limited to the stage or club, but becomes a natural extension of everyday cultural experiences.
Testimony of complete mobility: Pelin Vedis’ road trip
To demonstrate the durability and versatility of the Mix Ultra, Hercules entrusted its new controller to Pelin Vedis, a Swiss DJ specializing in techno/hard dance. Setting off on a road trip with minimal gear, she was able to mix anywhere — outdoors or on the move — perfectly illustrating this mobile revolution of DJing in 2025: an art that goes everywhere and is lived beyond the usual setting.
“Our latest product is a testament to our commitment to democratize DJing for the digital age,” says Clémence Robin, marketing manager at Hercules.
A strong symbol of a new creative generation
Today, thanks to the Mix Ultra, mixing is no longer just associated with weekends or clubbing. DJs can now create whenever they want, wherever they want — whether at home, on a train, or during an impromptu event with friends. This newfound freedom supports the evolution of musical practices towards greater fluidity and inventiveness.
Ultimately, the Hercules Mix Ultra is not just a technical tool; it embodies an inclusive and modern vision of DJing. It paves the way for creativity without borders or technical constraints – true to the philosophy that has driven Hercules for over twenty years.
