DAY THREE: DJ HERO: A JOURNEY FROM VINYL TO CONSOLE

Yes guys, it's official. 'We' have our very own game now! This will take bedroom dj'ing to another level, and the great thing is you don't even need to leave your room to reach it. With DJ Hero, you can become your all time favourite dj, and play for sold out crowds all over the world! And it's cool, really. Of course it's about the game first, dj'ing second, you should keep that in mind. But it's one of the few games that is actually cool to look at, and to listen to with a group of people while hanging back on a rainy Friday night. A team of great producers has spent long hours preparing playable mash-ups by some of the biggest tunes across all genres. Sergio Pimentel (DJ / Guitar Hero): "The music needed to be hooky, a track going uhm-tss-uhm-tss-uhm-tss for eight minutes is not suitable." Well, believe us; if you have reached a decent level, the music is everything but boring, without it making you too nervous.

Daniel Neil at Freestyle Games did not take any chances there: "We started with the mixes we made ourselves. We have an in-house scratch dj, some electronic music producers, a drum and bass guy, and some guys from the mash-up scene who we taught to up their production level, for instance working with software that's not fee." And then there was the bunch of big name dj's and producers who were involved in cooking up the mixes: "The process with the celebrity dj's was quite different, it was imperative to keep their musical voice in tact. But it needed to work in the game as well. The celebrity mixes now each have their own style, you can feel that when you're playing the game." Well that should add a lot of flavour, right? But like one famous philosopher once said: "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture," and we guess that also apply to game journalism. So don't hesitate, try out the console downstairs and see for yourself!
