As we’ve reported in previous posts, Flying Lotus got his own radio station in the upcoming video game Grand Theft Auto V. In addition to making me want to buy a PS3 so I can simply play the game, now I want to throw down some cash to hear all the music on his station. The playlist he curated features new music from him, his Captain Murphy alter-ego, and Tyler, the Creator, the last of which we heard already in “Garbage“. There’s also music from Clams Casino, Aphex Twin, Hudson Mohawke and Outkast. Great. Now I’m drooling.
You can hear the radio station preview at Pitchfork and peep the track list below. You can buy Grand Theft Auto V on Amazon.

Don’t spoil it ya know. U should wait and play the game and hear it in context. Makes more sense that way. #GTAV

I did try and get a new Aphex song. And a new burial track for GTA V. No luck on that tho.

Man im excited about the GTA/flylo fm thing. That’s a geek dream come true. I would have been just as happy to get one song in the game.
