If you have ever played any of Rockstar Games’ iconic creations, you will know that there is a big focus on the music that comes with them. For the most part, especially in the world of gaming, soundtracking can generate the most nostalgia and burn an imprint into your mind for a lifetime.
Take Rockstar’s ‘Grand Theft Auto’ franchise for example. Not only a cornerstone in the cultural history of gaming itself, but also a prime example of what a killer soundtrack can do for gaming or virtual experiences in general.
In a pioneering move like no other, Rockstar Games today announced that it has joined forces with globally-renowned house and techno brand CircoLoco to create a new label – CircoLoco Records.
Representing house and techno for over 20 years through its parties at Ibiza’s DC10 and around the world, CircoLoco’s dancefloor has become a principal intersection between underground dance music and elements of fashion, art and wider culture. From the beginning, the club’s commitment to music-focused, no-frills club nights with mixed lineups and an eye to the future supercharged the careers of many DJ’s including Tania Vulcano, Ricardo Villalobos, Jamie Jones and many more, along with featuring many of the artists from GTA Online’s After Hours and The Cayo Perico Heist, including The Blessed Madonna, Dixon, Solomun, Keinemusik, Tale Of Us, and Moodymann.
Debuting with a series of EPs featuring tracks from the label’s forthcoming first compilation album, Monday Dreamin’, CircoLoco Records will showcase contributions from some of the visionaries and icons from every era of CircoLoco’s greatest parties including new music from Music Locker resident DJ Moodymann, After Hours resident Dixon, along with Carl Craig, Luciano, Seth Troxler, and Rampa, as well as up and coming artists that point to the future of dance music including Sama’ Abdulhadi, Lost Souls of Saturn & TOKiMONSTA, Red Axes, and many more.
