Parliamo di DJ Hero 2 e del suo debutto in occasione del MIDEM 2010, manifestazione che si svolgerà a Cannes tra il 24 e il 27 gennaio prossimi.

London, England ? 15th January, 2010? Activision Publishing, Inc.

Having supported various elements of the show in previous years, in 2010 DJ Hero will be hosting an exclusive Listening Session, providing one lucky undiscovered musician the priceless opportunity to have their winning song mixed, mastered and featured in a future installment of DJ Hero.
On Wednesday, 27th January at 14:30, at Auditorium K (level 4), Palais des Festivals in Cannes, the Listening Session will judge ten finalists, whose tracks will vary in genre from electronica to hip-hop; rock to pop, and determine whose track would make great gameplay in a DJ set.
