It’s very possible the most deluxe hot spot in music right now is occurring, as we speak, in bedrooms, living rooms and dens all over the world. All thanks to Rockstar Games and their impressive ability to siphon a carload of the best music, old and new, into the minds of millions of individuals currently playing Grand Theft Auto V.
In the few weeks since its release, the game has garnered much praise for all of its attributes, music placing high on the list. Especially in that Grand Theft Auto V now features 15 radio stations (with a different one popping on whenever a player steals a new car) that contains over 30 hours of music, some created especially for the game.
A few of the DJs chosen to compile their own playlists include “Dancing Outlaw” Jesco White, Bootsy Collins and Flying Lotus, and musicians such as OFF! have new music featured within the DJ sets. To further capitalize on all this, Rockstar even held a special music event at the New York Film Festival last month, “Live From Los Santos: The Music of Grand Theft Auto V”, to highlight the musicians responsible for the game’s original score and radio channel selections.
Today Rockstar released a complete tracklist for the songs that sporadically appear on the new game, and it’s likely more diverse and fulfilling than maybe any other playlist ever created – see below for a complete listing.
And don’t forget a 3-volume digital album of these songs is available for your purchase through iTunes. So much good music to be had.
