Both incarnations of this station play music almost exclusively by [[wp:Giorgio Moroder|Giorgio Moroder]]. The GTA III playlist is notable as all the featured songs are from the [[wp:Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface]] [[wp:Scarface (soundtrack)|soundtrack]].
The music is synthesized 1970s music with some lyrics playing. This kind of music is more appropriate for chase scenes or for running over passengers while doing a rampage mission at night.
