Overview

The Serato x Mix Master Mike "Zektarian Temple of Sonic Sorcery" control vinyl is a limited edition collaboration that brings together Serato's proven timecode technology with the iconic style of Beastie Boys turntablist Mix Master Mike. Packaged as a set of two 12-inch records in a striking Intergalactic green colorway, this control vinyl is designed for DJs running Serato DJ Pro or Serato DJ Lite with a DVS-compatible hardware interface. The timecode pressed into the grooves allows Serato software to precisely track needle position, speed, and direction, giving DJs tactile vinyl control over their digital music library.

From a performance standpoint, this control vinyl functions identically to Serato's standard timecode records — the tracking is accurate, the pressing is durable enough for aggressive scratching and back-cueing, and it works reliably across the range of compatible Serato interfaces. What distinguishes this release is the limited edition collaboration design, which makes it both a functional DJ tool and a collector's item. The bold green color is particularly visible under club and stage lighting, adding a visual element to live performances. DJs should note that this is purely control vinyl with no playable audio content, and like all timecode records, the signal will eventually wear down with heavy use and need replacement.

The green color is purely cosmetic and does not affect audio performance or timecode tracking. It gives the vinyl a distinctive look on the turntable, which is especially visible under stage lighting.
