Yes, we all knew that it was only a matter of time until someone made a Guitar Hero knockoff for DJing.
After all, more kids now reach for turntables than guitars around the world. DJs are the new Rockstars and EVERYONE wants to be a DJ.

All Guitar Hero references aside, I have head from some inside sources that the game can actually help you Learn To Dj. It will teach you how to mix, how to read a crowd and other little tricks and techniques. While I am skeptical that you can learn any real DJing skills from this game I still plan to give it a go with the boys (while having a beer or two)!
Have you guys heard anything about it?

What do you guys think?
I’m definitely getting this. I’m a HUGE Guitar Hero fan and this is just icing on the cake.
I’d like more Justice than 50 Cent or Black Eyed Peas though… I really hate “Boom Boom Pow”…
It’s not super realistic but it could possibly teach people a few things – there’s some exclusive mixes and stuff like that in there too. Daft Punk would be awesome but I haven’t heard anything about that yet.
Yeah. I think it will just be a random broad mix of music. I’m curious to see if they get the license to mix songs by artists by Daft Punk.
I too would like more than 50 Cent and The Pussycat Dolls….
Awesome. I’m going to get it!!!
Kind of embarrassing to admit I did not know any of this before.!! but good to know now Smile Thanks!
