Johnny Minkley thought the game to have "vital, varied, surprising and vast musical content" and to be a fresh experience compared to previous music games. Matt Helgeson of Game Informer considered it to be one of the "most adventurous" soundtracks of any music game, and said though it often relied too much on pop hits, it remained true to the spirit of the DJ mix scene. Reviewers found the on-disc soundtrack to be strong Daemon Hatfield of IGN believed that "the entire soundtrack is superb and could easily stand on its own outside the game". The table below lists the mixes in the game, including the two songs that contribute to their mix as well as their individual artists the mix artist that created the mix whether the song is playable in the game's DJ vs Guitar mode and the career tier in which the song is located. All mixes are immediately available to play in the Quickplay and competitive modes. To access later tiers, the player must earn a pre-set number of stars on previous mixes at any difficulty. These are arranged across 24 setlists, ordered roughly by difficulty of the mix, with more difficult mixes appearing later in the game. The on-disc soundtrack contains 93 mixes, each featuring one or two songs. While most on-disc mixes were created by FreeStyleGames, several DJs have contributed mixes to the game, including Grandmaster Flash, DJ Shadow, DJ AM, DJ Z-Trip, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Daft Punk, and the Scratch Perverts other DJ artists will provide future downloadable content.
The game supports additional content through downloadable tracks from the game consoles' respective online stores. Ten songs on disc include a guitar track that can be played using a Guitar Hero or other compatible controller alongside the DJ mixing player in the game's DJ vs Guitar mode.
Some mixes feature only a single song mixed with itself. The game's on-disc soundtrack contains 94 mixes, most made from two songs over 100 individual songs are incorporated into these mixes. The player can attempt these songs at one of four difficulties (Easy to Expert), with higher difficulties providing more actions for the player to perform within the song. Unlike previous Guitar Hero games, there is no performance meter, and instead players are simply challenged to obtain the best score possible in order to earn stars (from zero to five for each mix) to unlock new songs, venues, and characters. In a manner similar to Guitar Hero, players use the turntable controller to mimic the actions of a disc jockey (DJ), such as scratching and crossfading between two different songs, as graphical representations of these actions scroll down on screen towards the player in time with the music. The game is based on turntablism, requiring the use of a special game controller that includes a turntable surface with three buttons, a crossfader bar, and an effects dial, in addition to other controller buttons used to manipulate in-game menus. The game was developed by FreeStyleGames and published by Activision worldwide in October 2009 for the PlayStation 2 and 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 consoles. DJ Hero is a rhythm video game and a spin-off of the Guitar Hero series.
