Over 100 individual songs based on master recordings were licensed by Activision , composed into 93 DJ mixes by both participating internationally known DJs and an in-house remix team . Unusually , the audio team also acted as the design team , playtesting all mixes and creating gameplay in tandem with producing the mixes . All mixes were produced using Ableton Live , with most of the scratch routines being performed by former DMC World DJ Champion DJ Blakey . All mixes used in the soundtrack were unique at the time of the game 's release . Celebrity mix artists include DJ Shadow , DJ Z-Trip , DJ AM , and Daft Punk in addition to other mix artists listed below , although Daft Punk did not create their levels - they were all created by the in-house remix team . Initial industry speculation stated that DJ Tiësto would be involved with the game , but this was eventually denied . Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys was reported to have signed an exclusivity deal with 7 Studios to appear in their game '' Scratch : The Ultimate DJ '' , meaning that he would also not appear on '' DJ Hero . '' The individual songs themselves were pulled from a large number of music genres , including Pop , Grunge , Soul , R&B , Techno , Hip Hop , House , Drum & Bass . Most mashup concepts were conceived by the in-house remix team . In addition to mixes using individual songs from both Eminem and Jay-Z , including Jay-Z 's " Izzo ( H.O.V.A. ) " and " Dirt Off Your Shoulder " . Eminem also stated that he will have additional songs included later in the year as downloadable content for the game , such as the " Jay-Z vs. Eminem Mix Pack " released in March 2010 , featuring three mash up-style songs combining the works of both artists . Universal Music Group is providing much of the content for the game
