Become A DJ
I was amazed to see this game/device.
I haven’t been much of a video-gamer for well over 8 years and I’ve jumped on the hype-wagon around the Wii phenomenon after hitting a chunk of home-runs, TKO’ing my co-worker, and putting a couple birdies in Wii Sports.
My first couple visits to the Manifesto Studios back in ‘08 had me banging on drum-pads in Guitar Hero (XBOX) and now aspiring DJ’s and curious music lovers can experience what it’s like to rock a crowd or at least, for now, rock it with family and friends in the living room with DJ Hero.
DJ Hero is Activision’s latest release sporting a CD-turntable-like DJ’ing game controller with game play similar to Guitar Hero.
Legendary DJ Shadow, interviewed by IGN.com speaks on the games control-play, the importance of music in the game, and the inspiration the game will have on aspiring DJ’s and music lovers.
You’ll be able to become a DJ Hero October 27th on your PS3, XBOX, or Wii.
In The Works
I am currently in the works with these projects:
SampleSimple - Working it, improving it and pushing it.
C3TLive - Hip-Hop never dies and this energy cooks up like food.
Boombox Radio - Surgically implementing a live-streaming experience for the masses.
more to come…
