Cyberpunk 2077
Most Important Things to Look for in a Gaming Monitor
Since the start of global lockdowns, the gaming industry has been booming. A recent report shows that viewership on Twitch, the most popular live streaming platform for gaming content, reached 6.3 billion hours in the first quarter of this year – that’s more than double what it was during the first quarter of 2020. Now, with more people gaming, the demand for premium gaming equipment has also increased. But not everyone knows exactly what to look out for when it comes to gaming monitors. A monitor is your window to the world of gaming and, considering how much time you’ll be spending looking at it, it’s worth investing in the future of your gaming setup. Ultimately, you don’t want a monitor that holds you back from unleashing the full potential of your graphics card. High- and mid-ra...
Watch How to Make a Song Fit for Cyberpunk 2077
Chances are if you’ve been on the internet in the past week, you’ve been bombarded with talk about Cyberpunk 2077. Not only was it one of the most anticipated video game releases of all-time, but to the delight of EDM.com readers, it also leans heavily on electronic music culture.

For the music producers out there, the popular sample marketplace Splice has released a cheeky how-to video inspired by the game. The tutorial is styled like the setting of the action RPG and was developed so the viewer feels as if they are being taught by one of its characters.

Boys Noize Produced A$AP Rocky’s “Flacko Loco” for Cyberpunk 2077
If you tune in to the Cyberpunk 2077 radio station 101.9 The Dirge, you’re likely to hear new music from A$AP Rocky and Boys Noize. The track “Flacko Loco” is attributed to the artist TELO$, the rapper’s in-game alias, and features Boys Noize and Hector Delgado on the production side. The song rumbles to life with thundering low-end sonics that are par for the course for the New York rapper. Likewise, “Flacko Loco” is minimal in the way of melody, allowing the kicks and bass ample room to run. The arrangement fuels an overall “larger than life” feeling that meshes well with the mercenary-themed title. From a tonal perspective, the track feels like a logical addition to the game’s ominous environment. ...
Listen to Grimes’ Cyberpunk 2077 DJ Mix, Released by Her In-Game Character
After more than a year of anticipation, this week’s release of Cyberpunk 2077 from video game developer CD Projekt has been one of the hottest topics in the dance music world. Grimes has been at the center of the hype since leaking information back in February about the player experience and her role as the voice actor for character Lizzy Wizzy. To celebrate the game’s long-awaited launch on December 9th, Grimes released a 17-track companion mixtape exclusively through Apple Music under the guise of her in-game character. Featuring several remixes of tracks off her February album Miss Anthropocene, selects from i_o‘s celebrated discography, and reworks of classic Rihanna and Ariana Grande anthems, the mix’s 63 minutes travers...
EDM Artists Share Reactions to Cyberpunk 2077
Video game developer CD Projekt finally released the wolves earlier this week when the company unveiled Cyberpunk 2077. After toiling through years of production and experiencing many delays, the hotly anticipated and polarizing game has sunk its teeth into the gaming community and hasn’t let go. One of the most ballyhooed video games in recent memory, Cyberpunk 2077 has also been a hit in the EDM community. Since its release, many DJs and producers have taken to social media to comment on the title’s gameplay, bugs, and the existence of cybernetic—*ahem*—genitalia. Check out reactions from Getter, Kill The Noise, Hotel Garuda, and more below.
Grimes Drops Shares New Song “Delicate Weapon” from Cyberpunk 2077: Stream
Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most hyped video games of the year, finally came out this week, which means gamers can interact with the character Lizzy Wizzy, a fictional alt-pop star voiced by the very real alt-pop star Grimes. To celebrate the game’s release, Grimes is sharing a new song she wrote for the soundtrack called “Delicate Weapon”, which you can stream below. The first volume of the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack is out today and features Grimes’ previously released single “4ÆM”, but the second volume — which includes “Delicate Weapon” — won’t be out until December 18th. Grimes must have been too excited to keep it quiet because she debuted the contribution early today on an Apple Music mix. Musically, “Delicate Weapon” sounds like a spacious early Grimes cut that could have appeared on...
Watch Nina Kraviz Drop Exclusive Tracks from Cyberpunk 2077 in Hypnotic DJ Set
After many delays, the hotly anticipated and polarizing video game Cyberpunk 2077 has finally been unveiled. To celebrate the official launch of one of the most ballyhooed games in recent memory, Russian techno star Nina Kraviz took the decks for a hypnotic DJ set featuring exclusive tracks from the new title. Kraviz is also an in-game player, a badass “ripperdoc” who goes by the name of Bara Nova. In the retro-future world of Cyberpunk 2077, a ripperdoc is an underground medical pro who is masterful in the art of healing and the connection of robotic implants, like cyber limbs. Apparently they can also DJ and sing. Check out Kraviz’s performance below. Cyberpunk 2077 officially launched this morning on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, and PC. ...
Cyberpunk 2077’s Futuristic Score Isn’t Your Grandfather’s Dystopia
CD Projekt RED is in a bit of a unique situation when it comes to this week’s release of Cyberpunk 2077. On one hand, the game is sure to top sales charts, will be loved by millions of fans and is likely to be a critical favorite. On the other, it seems like even an absolutely flawless game wouldn’t be able to live up to the unprecedented amount of hype built behind the title since its initial announcement in 2012. The futuristic RPG’s great expectations are certainly deserved considering that CDPR’s last major project was The Witcher 3, which not only earned numerous awards (and considered as one of the best video games of all time) but also received a second boost in popularity due to the success of last year’s Netflix series. Years before its release, Cyberpunk 2077 was already a multi-...
