Numark Party Mix III and Mixtrack Go Now in Cream (2026)
Numark's two entry-level DJ controllers now come in cream. The Numark Party Mix III Cream is $199 CAD and the Mixtrack Go Cream is $129 CAD, the same prices as the black models. Both are made for new DJs learning to mix on a laptop, a phone or a tablet, and inside they are the same controllers as the black versions, finished in cream with red accents.
Party Mix III Cream
The Party Mix has been Numark's first controller for new DJs for over a decade, and the beat-synced LED light show is still the reason people pick it. The lights follow your mix, so a practice session at home looks like a small party.
Party Mix III has 8 performance pads per deck, with pad modes for cues, loops, the sampler, stems and FX. Dedicated Instrumental and Acapella buttons pull the vocal or the beat out of a track on the fly. Fade FX adds an effect as you move the crossfader, which makes transitions sound finished before you have learned many tricks.
The mixer section has a 3-band EQ, a filter on each channel and main gain. Beat Align indicators on each deck show you when the two tracks drift apart, so you learn to beat match by ear instead of leaning on sync. A built-in soundcard has speaker and headphone outputs, so you can cue the next track in your headphones before the room hears it.
Mixtrack Go Cream
Mixtrack Go is the smaller and cheaper of the two. It is an ultra-compact two-deck controller for DJs who practise on the move or want a backup controller for gigs.
You still get capacitive touch jog wheels, channel and main gain, a filter on each channel, and the same Stems control and Fade FX as the Party Mix III. Its layout is non-mirrored, the standard arrangement experienced DJs expect, so the habits you build carry over to bigger gear. Outputs are 1/8-inch main and headphone jacks, and Numark includes breakout cables for headphone cueing.
DJing from a phone or tablet
Both controllers connect over Bluetooth MIDI, so you can DJ from an iPhone, iPad or Android device with Algoriddim djay and no cable. Both also run on USB-C power from a computer, a tablet, a phone, a power bank or a USB charger, so neither needs a wall outlet.
Serato DJ Lite and Algoriddim djay Pro for Mac and PC come free with both, and djay for iOS and Android is free too. Both work with Serato DJ Pro and VirtualDJ if you buy those licences later.
