Mixfader, the world's first connected DJ mixer

Before going any further, what is a crossfader?

The crossfader is the centerpiece of a DJ mixing board that allows the DJ to realize transitions between two tracks by sliding from left to right. It is the only feature of a DJ mixing board that can not be dematerialized. This usage has been diverted from its original function in the 70-80’s by the DJs Kool DJ Herc and Grandmaster Flash. These pioneers are credited as the forefathers of ‘‘turntablism’’, namely the art of creating music through turntables and records, with popular techniques such as scratching. This new discipline, which laid the foundations for hip hop then techno, requires the use of both a turntable and a crossfader that through returning movements create sound cutting and original compositions. 

Why is the crossfader more relevant than ever?

Thanks to the crossfader, the turntables have been transformed into fully fledged musical instruments, while the DJ scene has been growing like a skyrocket. The best “turntablists“ - term used to name the turntablism professionals - compete today at the legendary DMC World DJ Championship and perform in sold-out worldwide festivals and music halls. Among those most famous turntablists are: Q-Bert, Craze and C2C. 

Why does Mixfader revolutionize mixing?
