Cut Chemist and J.Period adding three mixes to DJ Hero's ... mix

by Ben Gilbert { Sep 17th 2009 at 6:30PM }

Comprising approximately 3.22% of DJ Hero's 93-song list of tracks, Cut Chemist and J.Period were announced today as joining the enormous list of artists contributing to the game. According to an emailed press release from Activision, J.Period will be creating two "exclusive" new mixes for the game, Q-Tip's "Good Thang" vs. Billy Squier's "Big Beat" (as seen above) and Gang Starr's "Just to Get a Rep" vs. Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones, Part 2."

Elusively, Activision says Cut Chemist will be offering "a mix featuring unreleased music from one of the biggest bands in the world." The publisher didn't offer word on whether or not that's a confirmation of the JoBro "Burnin' up" vs. Tupac's "All Eyez on Me" mash-up we've been hoping for, unfortunately.

Cut Chemist is so awesome. I bet one of his songs is going to be DJ Hero's "Through the Fire and the Flames."

That would be DJ Hero's "Through the Fire and Flames".

I wonder how good this game will be

There are actually some pretty respectable names tied to this. I'm getting a little interested. Damn you Kotick!

You had me at "French disco-bots".

I wonder how well this game is going to sell.....

Djiego @ Sep 17th 2009 7:27PM

Im actually really looking forward to this game! =D

Im more into hip hop/dance/pop music over rock/metal (although I LOVE rock).

Love the fact that daft punk will be in it, though Im dissapointed that 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' and 'One More Time' wont be in it... they're 2 of my favorite daft punk tracks. =x

Wait for the DLC

Are the controllers for Dj Hero and Scratch compatible?

Bobby Kotick @ Sep 17th 2009 9:18PM

Why would you want to know? It's not like anyone would pay money for that shameless knock-off...

Zakeru @ Sep 17th 2009 7:52PM

I want this so badly...
This game finnaly makes sense.

At first thought I was shocked that Mr. Gilbert would even think of something as sacrilegious as a Jonas Brothers/2Pac mixup, but then I realized, hey, that might actually be hilarious.

(But still sacrilegious.)

The touch... the feel of cotton! The fabric of our lives....

looks like there's way too many extra keys in there and they're mixing a scratch sample with the lyrics sample on the scratch track (green) which is kinda annoying. one second you are scratching the famous "aaah" the next you are pulling back "good thing". i wish i could switch records that fast ;p

BUT, it is a game, SO, as long as it is fun is all that matters!

it's a nice blend too.

So, who is representing the trance and techno genres?
