Looks like I'm gonna buy my first ever music/rhythm game...

Not a fan of the genre in the slightest, but this is day fucking one, especially if Flight 643 and Suburban Train are on it:

Activision's not-so-secret DJ Hero game has seemingly been name-dropped yet again, and dated for release in Summer 2009.

According to a supposed e-mail newsletter from superstar DJ, Tiesto, the dutch artist - who's often referred to as the biggest DJ in the world - will provide tracks especially for the unannounced Guitar Hero spin-off.

"We are proud to announce that Tiësto has teamed up with the game developer Activision and their latest project DJ Hero," reads the newsletter.

Activision will release a special Tiesto edition of DJ Hero - similar to Aerosmith and Metallica versions of Guitar Hero - which will contain classic Tiesto productions "as well as new music composed especially for the game."

Tijs 'Tiesto' Verwest said of the deal: "I am very excited about this! I think this is a great way to introduce people into Djing. Maybe they realize it's not as easy as they think. I am sure this brings new fans to the scene, dance music is not far from hip-hop for example. Hopefully the music I have composed appeals to all kinds of fans!"

We're still waiting for confirmation of the news from Activision UK.

DJ Hero first surfaced in a trademark earlier this year, and was later backed up by an accidental confirmation from the Guitar Hero: World Tour team.

It's said to utilise a new turntable-style controller and a setup that has coloured icons scrolling around a virtual on-screen record.

Are you excited about the prospect of hitting the plastic decks? Let us know below.

That sounds like a contradiction of sorts.

Anyway, will wait for the superior Northern Exposure edition.

You know I'd buy that one the second it came out... we're probably more likely to see an Armin edition or a Funkmaster Flex edition or a DJ Khaled edition though... :(
