5. Kevin Rudolph feat. Lil Wayne - Let It Rock (2008)
6. Kylie Minogue - Surrender (1994)
7. Supermen Lovers - Starlight (1994) (So this might be a bit of a blatant choice, since the exclusion of this track was an unquoted rumor, but it took the place of other French House tracks on the station. And it's a bop.
8. Neon Trees - Animal (2010) (The wiki says it was for Radio Mirror Park, which is incorrect as its ID was added to the TrackID database 70 songs before any Radio Mirror Park songs were added. Station fits pretty well in the same style as something like Midnight City)

12. Duran Duran - Serious (1990)

15. Olivia Newton-John - Physical (1981)
16. Michael Jackson - Jam (1992) (not fully confirmed, but its unmistakable interpolation can be heard in one of Jack Crovitzer's segments. Can be deleted if desired).

9. 2 Chainz feat. Drake - No Lie (2012)

11. Perhaps his song was taken down after he violated the NDA. The track fits the game incredibly well anyway).
12. Clams Casino - Cold War (2011) (Thought about putting on the Lil B version, but just the thought of seeing "LIL B" on the radio wheel makes me mad.)

22. Wiz Khalifa - Work Hard, Play Hard (2012)
23. Mac Miller - Loud (2012) (Miller's track was cut from a station for which we don't have a name. Considering most of the cut tracks are from 2012, I chose Loud from Macadelic. Fits the station very well.)

4. Robolledo - Steady Gear Rod Maschine (2011)
6. Matias Aguayo - Niños (2011)
7. Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground (Bluebottle Mix) (1996) (The remix is ​​listed among the Non-Stop-Pop FM tracks in the TrackID database, but as a dark downtempo and acid techno tune, it would have been more suitable for an electronic station. It would have worked on Worldwide FM or FlyLo just the same, but honestly I couldn't be asked to tweak more mixes from the base game).

7. Spice 1 - 187 Proof (1991)
8. Warren G feat. Nate Dogg - Regulate (1994)
9. Thug Life - Pour Out A Little Liquor (1994) (Unconfirmed as we only know that the Thug Life track was cut. This number is from the Above The Rim soundtrack, which also features Afro Puffs and Regulate, so I thought that if any track TL was going to pick, he could be a strong contender).

Blue Ark:

1. Bramma feat. Elephant Man - Duh Weh Mi Waah (2011) (I'm pretty sure this song was a single on one Riddim Comp and that one release is mixed like garbage. Tried my best to save the sound but the bass is still on fire as hell).

13. Romain Virgo - Night Nurse (2011)
14. Bounty Killer - Murder (2012) (Unverified, found this on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/1346960-Burning-Spears-Brentford-All-Stars-Door-Peeper-Soul -Shake . Perhaps Perry's comments were referring to this release when he mentioned any of the artists)
15. Brentford All-Stars - Soul Shake (1969) (Unconfirmed, artist known to have been removed from the game but song unknown)

19. The Temptations - Cloud Nine (1968)
20. Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together (1972)
21. The Blackbyrds - Dreaming About You (1977) (Unconfirmed, artist is known to have been removed from the game but the song is unknown, and Rockstar likes to include tracks that are often sampled by hip-hop artists. For example, Space 103.2 cut tracks such as What You 're Doing Me and Mary Jane, sampled on Dollaz + Sense and Late Night Hype, respectively, on West Coast Classics.The Blackbyrds - Rock Creek Park, shown in San Andreas, has also been sampled by numerous hip-hop artists.

I chose For Your Love from their 1983 album On The Rise, which also has the song Just Be Good To Me from GTA IV (Given that the track Loose Ends is from the same album that the track for GTA IV was taken from, I guess they would have chosen the song from this particular album in the same way).
12. Fatback Band - I Found Lovin' (1983)
13. Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove (1978)
14. George Benson

Building this mod was probably one of the most tedious things I've ever done. No complex tools were used to automate the process, everything had to be done manually using OpenFormats and Codewalker.


No other instruments were used. All 200+ songs had to be manually added to the audio metadata. The number of trials it takes just for that. I've probably added over 20 hours to my game time just by riding around and making sure everything is working properly.


Getting HQ rips of songs, manually separating them into separate channels, normalizing them, compiling the metadata for each individual track and inserting it into the audio data was an inconceivable tedium. The preparation of the new Soulwax mix also took 2 to 3 days (and I am very pleased with the result).


Was it worth it? Given the weeks of my life that she essentially took from me, probably not. But self-indulgence is a pit that, unfortunately, I often stumble into. And I mean... what could be cooler than driving down Vinewood Boulevard on a sunny afternoon with American Boy music playing on the stereo???? One thing's for sure - I'll probably never touch video games again after this lol.
