In recent years, the popularity of street dance has increased all around the world with many organised performances and events. Pioneer incorporated the opinions of celebrated street dancers when developing the 3 STEEZ products. They are loaded with functions that meet the needs of dancers all across the world: besides a rich low-pass playback, the STEEZ AUDIO and STEEZ HEADPHONES bring out the beat in a tune making it easy to capture the dance tempo. The STEEZ AUDIO and STEEZ PORTABLE also play back mixes without pauses between the tracks and you can adjust playback speed without changing the key. These functions can be used for music tracks which are analysed using Pioneer's new MIXTRAX music management application.
