Numark
The first Party Mix with real-time Stems control, though its review track record is still short.
Best for: Anyone who wants the latest features (Stems, Bluetooth) in an entry rig, and doesn't mind being an early adopter with fewer reviews to back it up.

The Party Mix III isn't a simple refresh: EQ moves to 3-band, pads per deck double to 8, Bluetooth MIDI is added to control the djay app from your phone, and it gains real-time Stems control to isolate vocals or instruments while mixing, a feature that until recently only showed up on considerably pricier gear.
With only 48 reviews given the recent launch, caution is warranted: the 4.1/5 average sits alongside at least one 1-star review reporting it stopped working well after a single day and lagged when switching modes. Most available opinions are much more positive, one even describes using it at a real gig, but with such a small sample it's worth watching how its track record develops.

Only 48 reviews given the 2026 launch, 4.1/5 average. Most are very positive, but there's one serious review reporting a fault after a single day of use, with such a small sample it's impossible to know if this is an isolated case.
Probably the best beginner Dj controller ever! I even used this at a gig in the Chicagoland area two weeks ago. All you need is a mixer to boost the signal of this djay controller. With acapella and instrumental stems literally in your fingertips for ADVANCED DJays, you can sound professional with this DJ Controller. For lazy and casual set ups, you can MIDI BLUETOOTH connect this DJ controller to your iPad or iPhone. The best $150.00 DJ controller I ever bought
✓ AmazonGreat starter deck for sure! Quality is what you pay for at this price point but depending on what software you use it's very flexible with how you can program it.
