Scratch: The Ultimate DJ set list partially revealed

I really want to like Scratch: The Ultimate DJ. It has a lot going for it: it has the industry developed controller, it has the apparent moral highground, and it has a new developer promising to finish it off.
What it doesn't have is Daft Punk and DJ Jazzy Jeff, while rival DJ Hero most certainly does. Woe! Luckily these tidbits from the game's set list are quite tantalizing:

As you'd certainly hope from the length of it, this is not the full set list. Scratch's focus is much more hip-hop orientated than DJ Hero's more purely electronica inclusions, which should please fans. Some terrible puns on the word "spin" go someway to convincing me that the Numark turntable is going to get more use than as a fret-bar substitute; could be witness to true freestyling in a music game?! Hopefully the terrific Mixmaster Mike, whose influence on the game is marked, will make it so.
Nice mix of stuff I love and also utterly loathe.
