Hercules, drivers of innovation in the DJ industry, proudly unveil the DJControl Mix Ultra, a cutting-edge mobile DJ controller developed in close collaboration for Algoriddim’s djay app and engineered to elevate the experience for DJs on the move.
Hercules is busting down the barriers to DJing and musical creativity with its latest controller. Built for today’s smartphone-driven music culture, the DJControl Mix Ultra offers DJs, tech-savvy hobbyists, and seasoned performers a lightweight, battery-powered device that brings professional-level DJing to any location. Designed to meet the demands of a mobile audience, the DJControl Mix Ultra is getting its big debut at the 2025 NAMM Show, after winning the CES Innovation Awards® 2025 program Best of Innovation in the Content & Entertainment category earlier this month.
The DJControl Mix Ultra can turn anywhere into a DJ booth. It offers a complete, simple DJ setup that doesn’t rely on complex, traditional hardware. It’s optimized for the smartphone, harnessing Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) for hours-long sets and fully wireless connectivity with Algoriddim’s djay app on iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices. All audio connections in and out happen without any powercords or wires required—and with a 10-hour battery life.
The DJControl Mix Ultra’s focus on portability and ease of use makes it perfect for today’s music landscape, where mobile setups and casual, social DJing experiences are more popular than ever. It’s designed to inspire the next generation of DJs who seek accessibility without sacrificing quality.
“We’ve designed the DJControl Mix Ultra with a unique, ultra-mobile approach to DJing that aligns perfectly with the tech-savvy, social DJ who’s always on the move,” says Virginie Belliveau, Product Marketing Manager at Hercules. “By integrating features like Neural Mix and a rechargeable battery in a portable, affordable package, Hercules is making it easier than ever for anyone to become a DJ, no matter where they are or what their budget is.”
With the DJControl Mix Ultra, users can fully immerse themselves in the Hercules DJ experience, featuring access to a library of free, royalty-free tracks across various genres, free online DJ courses to build skills quickly, expert tips on topics like landing your first gig, and a supportive DJ community across social media and forums.

Driven by our shared mission to make DJing accessible to everyone, this groundbreaking device empowers djay users to unlock their creativity anywhere they go,” says Karim Morsy, CEO of Algoriddim, makers of djay.
