Activision have just sent through a press release outlining the involvement of the legendary DJ Grandmaster Flash in their upcoming DJ Hero title.
DJ ready? Dance floor ready? Everybody ready? Let's go! Musical legend Grandmaster Flash, the first DJ to make the turntable an instrument, is coming to DJ Hero, joining the epic list of DJs who will appear as in-game characters and who have created mixes exclusively for the award-winning game. Along with contributing two never-before-released mixes, Grandmaster Flash lends his unique, recognisable voice and DJ know-how to the game's tutorial level, schooling players on the game mechanics and the turntable controller. To top it off, FreeStyle Games created an exclusive mix using two of Grandmaster Flash's original creations – "Boom" and "Tap."
The list of AAA hip hop and rap stars for this game gets stronger all the time. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited for it.

In Australia it was RobbieDJ, DJStewwie and QuebAll (in Sydney @ Juliannas, Maxys and Pitt St Gardens) who introduced beatmixing and scratching here. None achieved any of the fame that GMF has but they did inspire later more well known DJs. Rob and Stewwie are, sadly, no longer with us but QuebAll (pronounced Cube All) is still doing unannounced guest slots at various gigs along the East Coast of Aus.
