So as some people might already know, I’m part of the DJ Hero music team in fact,  I was the first remixer to be involved with this project way back when.  I helped design the first successful examples of what went on to be the signature musical style for the game so I’ve seen this thing grow from an early idea to the huge global smash its about to become.  I can’t quite believe how far we’ve come,  it blows the mind really.

This interview is with the legendary Culture Deluxe, one of the stalwarts of the modern mashup movement along with GYBO, Boomselection, and Bastard.  These sites/nights were, and indeed are, the grassroots of the whole thing, they really did start it all!  In this interview i’m speaking to Richie (the founder) about my role in the game, about how mashups became an integral part of the soundtrack and I also explain the game.
