DJ Shadow was brought in by Activision during November and December 2008 , at least a year into the development into the game , to help select individual songs , help with creating the mixes , and provide additional input for the game , and will also be a playable DJ avatar in the game . He was able to identify old effects samples that were used in the past for scratching for the developers to include the game . To create the mixes , DJ Shadow first created a " dry version " of each mix which did not include any embellishments . DJ Shadow then proceeded to build off that to create the " wet version " with added effects that was used as the base for the gameplay 's mixes . Artists Eminem and Jay-Z have also served as consultants for the game ; a special edition of '' DJ Hero '' was branded with their names , and included a limited edition of the controller , a music CD of their songs , a DJ stand , and a travel case for the units . This version is titled " Renegade Edition . " Jay-Z stated that he " loved the freedom " that the game gives him , and was able to work closely with Activision to put in new mixes that he envisioned , and considered the game " a DJ 's universe " , while Eminem believed '' DJ Hero '' was a game that he could " see himself actually playing " . DJ 's Z-Trip and DJ AM both created mixes for the game and will also be playable DJ 's in the game ; Z-Trip will also help demonstrate the game at the 2009 E3 Conference . Cut Chemist and J.Period will also be assisting in creating mixes for the game . Grandmaster Flash and DJ Jazzy Jeff have contributed remixes to the soundtrack . All the Daft Punk remixes were created in-house by the team in London . All of these artists appeared as playable avatars . In the case of Daft Punk , a special venue inspired by the group 's '' Alive 2007 '' tour was created , that Tim Riley , Vice President for Music Affairs at Activision , considered to be " the next best thing to being at a Daft Punk concert " . David Guetta has also contributed three mixes that were made available as downloadable content for the game ; Guetta would also serve as a spokesperson in the game 's European marketing . As part of the game 's promotion , the '' DJ Hero '' controller appears in the music video for Kid Cudi 's " Make Her Say "
