We have our own DJ controllers 🤯

It’s taken 10 years to get to this point but we are officially in the box and on the controllers.

After 10 years of Crossfader, we’ve officially partnered with Numark to launch limited edition Numark x Crossfader DJ controllers.

A white Crossfader edition of the Numark Party Mix III and Mixtrack Go - built to help the next generation of DJs take their first proper step.

For me, this one feels personal.

I joined Crossfader when we were still very much building from the ground up. Small team, big ambition, and a belief that learning to DJ shouldn’t feel confusing, intimidating or out of reach.

Over the years, I’ve watched us turn that belief into something real.

From teaching local DJ lessons in a small space in Leeds, to filming gear reviews, building courses, growing a global community, and slowly earning the trust of some of the biggest names in DJ technology.

But this project feels like a real marker.

Because it says something important:

The beginning of a DJ’s journey matters.

For too long, beginner DJs have bought their first controller and then been left to figure it out alone. This partnership changes that.

With these controllers, new DJs can scan the QR code and access free beginner DJ lessons through Crossfader - giving them a clear path from opening the box to actually learning how to mix.

That’s the part I’m most proud of.

Not just the branding.
Not just seeing our name on the box.
But what it represents.

A major DJ brand backing education.
A belief that beginners should be taken seriously.
And a shared mission to make DJing more accessible to more people.

Massive thank you to Numark for believing in the Crossfader mission.

And huge respect the Crossfader team for getting to this point.

10 years in, this feels like one of those moments we’ll look back on.

Last year, Jamie and I stood in an empty room at Fabric.

The event was amazing, but we couldn’t help talking about what Room 2 and Room 3 could become.

What if we filled a room with DJs who wanted to learn, network, share ideas and meet other people obsessed with the same thing?

On Friday, that happened.

250 DJs and producers travelled from all over the world to spend the day with us at Fabric.

Throughout the day I spoke to people who had flown in from Brazil, Thailand, New Zealand, the USA and across Europe. Some had been following Crossfader for years. Some had only just discovered us. But everyone had one thing in common…a passion for music and a desire to get better.

As a team, moments like this make you stop and reflect.

Crossfader started with a simple mission:

Just help people become better DJs.

To see that mission bring hundreds of people together in one of the most iconic venues in the world was something I’ll never forget.

Thank you to every single person who bought a ticket, travelled to London, attended a workshop, jumped on the open decks, asked a question, shared a story or simply said hello.

Thank you to for believing in the vision. It’s a team of incredibly talented, hard working people.

Special love to my co host … you did a ridiculously good job connecting the whole day! Shouts to and for all the hard work over a whole flipping year 🤯

Thank you to our partners .audio, , and everyone else who helped make it happen.

Couldn’t do it with out the entire team which is now A LOT of us ❤️

And thank you to the Crossfader community.

This one meant a lot ❤️

From making DJ tutorials in my bedroom… to standing in Ibiza representing at IMS.

This week was a reminder of the mission.

Meeting students who’ve gone from zero to playing gigs.
Connecting with DJs we’ve looked up to for years.
Being invited to the Beatport Awards and standing in Dalt Vila… surrounded by the very culture that inspired us in the first place.

Everything we do, every course, every video, every conversation, is about helping the next wave of DJs take that first step, and then the next… and the next.

We’re just getting started.

I called James a couple months ago with an Idea of making some DJ content together. He wanted to go BIGGER.

We took inspiration from some of the leading YouTube platforms and thought about how we can take a typical interview and make it WORLD CLASS.

The end result turned out even better than our vision.

It’s a conversion designed to prove that ANYONE can make it to the elite level, all through James personal story.

What blew my mind was the dedication to a single goal.

Never letting any external noise take you off path or distract you from the mission.

It would mean the world to me if you can watch, share, like the video. We’ve put weeks of editing into making this come to life

A big thanks for continuing to pass down the education needed for others to succeed and keeping the next generation inspired to dream.

I hope you enjoy ❤️
