Cian Hassett of PALGN called the setlist "the most incredible fusion of contrasting genres known to man". Official Xbox Magazine UK 's Mike Channell believed the "mashups also feel even more playful this time around", creating new interpretations of the lyrics of songs through the mixing. Eurogamer's Keza MacDonald stated the soundtrack was "faultless" and that while featuring a large number of songs from the club scene, the soundtrack is "still a powerful draw if you don't know or even like the music".
Matt Helgeson of Game Informer considered that the mixes were "uniformly great", and balanced popular artists with skilled DJ mixers. Reviewers found the soundtrack provided a wider range of genres, moving away from hip-hop and into house and dance genres, to appeal to more players. All mixes are available to play in the game's Quickplay mode. Other mixes are specifically designed as Battle Mixes to be played in the game's two-player DJ Battles mode. The player must earn a certain number of stars from previous venues and setlists to unlock later ones.
In certain sets that feature a real-life artist, the player will perform as that artist's avatar within the game. Within the game's career mode, songs are arranged in six venues, and further into three or four song setlists, often featuring songs all mixed by the same DJ artist. Most mixes involve two different songs, but others are beat juggles using the same core song on two different tracks for unique effects. The following table lists the mixes and their constituent songs that are available on the DJ Hero 2 disc. The game also supports downloadable content, both existing downloadable mixes from DJ Hero and new mixes since the sequel's release.
Reviews found the setlist to provide better variety from the first game's heavier hip-hop influences. However, licensing for such music remained a difficult barrier. The success of the first game eased the acquisition of music licenses for the sequel, and allowed the inclusion of more popular music.

Several mixes have been composed by professional DJs, including David Guetta, Deadmau5, DJ Qbert, Tiësto and RZA, who also appear as in-game avatars. ĭJ Hero 2 on-disc setlist includes 83 mixes from over 100 different songs spanning 85 artists.

The player is not penalized for failing to perform actions. Specifically marked sections of songs allow the player to freestyle through crossfading, scratching, or inserting music samples into the mix. Players are challenged to match these actions, shown through on-screen scrolling indicators in synchronization with the mix correct actions boost the player's score, while correctly performing several consecutive actions can increase the player's scoring multiplier. Like its predecessor, DJ Hero 2 simulates turntablism, the playing of two songs in mix, using a special turntable-based controller that includes the ability to crossfade between the two songs, and scratching the recording.
