The DJ will be curating the soundtrack for the 7 major radio stations available in the game, which also includes Horizon Pulse and Hospital Records Radio, which will feature “all the biggest dancefloor anthems of the year all night long“, featuring genres ranging from house to techno and electro, and all of the top drum & bass artists on the Hospital Records‘ roster respectively.
Two radio stations dedicated entirely to dance music further proves the foray the genre has been making into the world of gaming.
