“We step into the iconic worlds of Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto series with The Classics, the next chapter of our Sound of GTA series, where NTS DJs revisit the radio stations from throughout GTA history. This time celebrating the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.”
THE SOUND OF GRAND THEFT AUTO: THE CLASSICS is a collection of online radio stations hosted by NTS Radio, created to promote Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.
Description[]
The collection features four individual tracklists of different musical genres, with each tracklist containing songs originally featured across various titles in the Grand Theft Auto series in their own respective radio stations. Each tracklist was curated and hosted by various musical artists and DJs.
The original live broadcast began on December 13, 2021, 33 days after the launch of The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. Each tracklist was broadcasted back to back as one continuous stream. The stream ended on the week of January 16, 2022, but full recordings of each individual tracklist were made available on the NTS website at an unknown date, where it can still be accessed.
