Here’s what Project Audio Director Brandon Bray had to say on the subject… Fool’s Gold also looked to be in the mix, but the antics of Diplo and his LA based record label were a better fit for Volition. With Saints Row IV, the game developers reached out to Mad Decent to have their own channel. While the very first game featured the likes of ILS and Dieselboy, opting for a drum & bass flair, the later games were focused on the likes of Deadmau5 and Rusko.
Prior Saints Row games had radio station 97.6 K12 FM, which has become increasingly house and mainstream EDM over the years. The popular gangster-turned-president sandbox franchise Saints Row has its fourth installment coming this August 23rd, with even more EDM than before.
The worlds of video games and dance music might seem like wholly different beasts, but they are both intricately intertwined with one another.
