Hercules mixing decks: comin’ atcha!

Hercules mixing decks: comin’ atcha! Introducing a mixing deck with the power of Hercules!

There’s a pub near us called the Pillars of Hecules. It seems the big man will lend his name to anything these days, including this rather natty new DJ Control Steel mixing deck.

You can hook this bad boy up to either your Mac or PC via USB, so you’ll be flexing some dope beats in no time at all. You get two mixing decks, along with six faders, 13 rotary switches and 46 push buttons. That includes five effects buttons and six kill buttons. All of which means you can get extra-creative with your banjo and nose flute.

Want to make the Hercules more in your own design? Well, you can take out the centre plate and put a customized one in its place. The dedicated software is VirtualDJ DJC 5, but if that’s not your preferred software, you can use it with MIDI-based DJ software.

With the Hercules DJ Control System you’ll be turning your dank, dull Christmas parties into a Manumission-style festival of sex! Well, maybe not, but at least you’ll be pumping out beats fatter than yo’ momma.
