Critic Reviews

Keeping it foolish with the Hercules DJ Control MP3 - CNET

cnet.com

The Hercules DJ Control MP3 offers an enticing gateway for aspiring DJs, facilitating mixing and scratching with ease. However, it raises questions about the value of traditional DJ skills, suggesting that anyone can replicate the work of seasoned professionals with a few button presses. While it's great for casual parties, this device may diminish the perceived artistry of DJing, akin to how tractors overshadowed ploughmen. In essence, it empowers novices but leaves professional DJs feeling obsolete, making it a double-edged sword in the world of music mixing.
