The Grand Theft Auto franchise has become synonymous with a staggering variety and quality of music over the years. It was with this tradition in mind that we set out to deliver a soundtrack that would capture the spirit of our favorite genres and past stations.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars creates original music for notable stations, including: Electro-Choc, IF99, Tuff Gong, The Beat and Radio Broker. This mixture of original and licensed instrumentals has been hand-selected by some of the most notable producers, in their respective fields. Deadmau5, Truth & soul, Ticklah, Prairie Cartel and Alchemist were hands-on in their approach to ensure that their stations overall pace and vibe was on par with the games overall, pick up and play handheld style while remaining true to the integrity of a Grand Theft Auto soundtrack experience.

GTA: Chinatown Wars will be available at retail on UMD and digitally from the PlayStation Network on Oct. 20, 2009 (Oct. 23 in Europe).
