DJ Hero, the record-spinning spin-off from Guitar Hero, is to feature mash-ups (two records mixed together) of David Bowie’s Let’s Dance with Jack Of Spades by KRS One (DJ Shadow mix), Nirvana’s All Apologies with Give it To Me Baby by Rick James (DJ Shadow remix, again) and Tears For Fear’s Shout with Eric Prydz’ Pjanoo. Further featured mash-ups include tracks from Gorillaz, Marvin Gaye and Herbie Hancock.
The partial track-listing and further details on DJ Hero emerged from US magazine Game Informer. According to Kotaku‘s reading of the mag, further news is that as well as a turntable, the controller will feature a clip-on cross-fader, effects dial and other buttons.
The Game Informer feature also further detailed how DJ Hero will be played. Three bands of notes will cascade down the screen, with gamers having to not only hit the right note buttons on the controller, but also ensure the right track is faded in. Sustained guitar notes from Guitar Hero are swapped in for scratching sections with small arrows telling you which way to scratch.
Still no word on whether DJ Hero controllers will be compatible with the any-instrument-mix Guitar Hero 5, though.
