Toy manufacturer Smyths Toys has just unveiled an exciting new DJ controller designed specifically for children: the iDance XD-301 DJ Station. This interactive DJ setup is packed with features that make it perfect for young music enthusiasts eager to explore the world of mixing and DJing.
The iDance XD-301 comes with two built-in speakers, a MIC/AUX input, and multiple connectivity options, including USB, Bluetooth, and MP3 support. The controller is loaded with space control wheels, pitch bend faders, a crossfader, LED sound pads, and bass booster effects. These features allow kids to layer vocals, apply cool sound effects, and add their own creative touch to any track.
One of the standout features is its gesture-controlled “space control sensors,” which enable users to trigger beats, play jingles, and even add drum loops with a simple wave of the hand. The mix-drop function makes it easy for young DJs to infuse sound effects into their tracks, helping them discover the basics of DJing and music production in a fun, interactive way.
Powered by a rechargeable battery, the iDance XD-301 offers 4 to 8 hours of playtime on a single charge, making it perfect for hours of non-stop music fun. It’s priced at an affordable $69.99, giving parents a budget-friendly option to introduce their children to the world of music.
According to its product description, “Kickstart your music adventures with the iDance XD-301 DJ Station with 2 Speakers. Gesture over the space control sensors to start the beats player, play jingles or drums, and add cool effects and acapellas to your tracks.”
This launch follows a trend of electronic music toys aimed at younger audiences. Earlier this year, Playtime Engineering released the Blipbox MyTracks, an MPC-style controller designed for kids to explore music production. Similarly, Alpha-Beat, a musical education publisher, introduced an alphabet book titled The A-Z of Electronic, House, and Techno Music, highlighting iconic artists and legendary party spots.
With toys like the iDance XD-301, the future of electronic music looks bright for the next generation.
