Hercules wins the 2025 “CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation” for its latest wireless DJ controller

We are proud to announce an extraordinary achievement: we have been honored with the prestigious “CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation” for our groundbreaking DJControl Mix Ultra at the Consumer Electronics Show. This accolade celebrates years of dedication, creativity, and technical excellence.

A game-changing wireless and cable-free DJ controller

Designed for DJs at every level and developed in close collaboration with Algoriddim, the creators of the award-winning djay app, the DJControl Mix Ultra is the first entirely wireless mobile DJ controller.

Launching later this month, the Mix Ultra is the first mobile DJ controller that is entirely wireless and cable-free—created for mobile-first DJs who came up learning to embrace music mixing using apps and streaming services. This all new controller—developed in close collaboration with Algoriddim, the creators of the award-winning djay app—provides seamless integration with djay’s powerful mixing capabilities and streaming services such as Apple Music.

Today at CES, we unveil our next innovation that responds to new DJs, who often come to DJing from streaming and phone apps, not crates of vinyl. We observed that each year an increasing number of young DJs learn the intricacies of music mixing, music production, and playlist-making through mobile devices.

Additionally, these up-and-comers don’t own music in the traditional sense but typically access music via streaming services. We built a brand new controller from the ground up to cater to these digital-first DJs whose music world lives on their phones.

Recognition of innovation and excellence

The “CES Innovation Awards Best of Innovation” is a prestigious honor given annually to companies that excel in innovation, address market needs, and deliver transformative solutions.
