Just got word that DJ AM was found dead in his apartment. Cops had to bust down his door after he wasn’t seen for a few days. TMZ, Rolling Stone and Spinner confirmed the story, hit Rolling Stone for more info:
The beloved mix master is heavily featured in the upcoming video game DJ Hero. DJ AM created 80+ exclusive mixes for the game and took the prototype for a spin. What did he mix? He told the L.A. Times:
“The first mix I played was Eminem and AC/DC, and it completely fit.”
He seemed pretty stoked about the versatility of the game, comparing it to his own style of mixing:
“No genre is sacred in this game, which is the bravest, most exciting, fun thing about it. That’s how I’ve always treated my deejaying. I will play anything. I go from the Jackson 5 to the Wu-Tang Clan to George Michael, and I make it work. … The major point is that you’re marrying two songs you wouldn’t think of—and it works.”
And make it work he would. The due was SI-I-I-I-ICK on the wheels of steel:
Not to mention, he’d already faced death and walked away when the lear jet he and Travis Barker were traveling in made a noise then crashed and burned!! [Check the wreckage right here]
