Split into 12 mixes with each focusing on specific genres, the series covers house and techno with Eclair Fifi, reggae, dub, and dancehall with Lil C, country with Delroy Edwards, ’80s pop with Bell Towers, hip-hop with Martelo, and more.

It follows the release of Grand Theft Auto’s The Cayo Perico Heist update, which includes a new in-game club called The Music Locker that features motion-captured sets from DJs including Moodymann, as well as radio stations curated by Joy Orbison, Worldwide FM with Gilles Peterson, and more.
