It’s safe to say the release date of Grand Theft Auto VI is approaching federal holiday status, as economists predict that over $1 billion will be drained from the US economy due to PTO requests.But no one could have expected the release to be a generational moment for electronic dance music.
In the weeks leading up to next month’s release, Rockstar Games confirmed new music from Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo as well as Fred again..and PinkPantheress, among others contributing to an official companion album.
While rumors surrounding Daft Punk’s involvement remain unsubstantiated, another legendary French duo, Justice, was called upon to score the game before releasing a mega-collaboration with Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.Justice has now returned with ‘Pusher,’ teaming up with another French electronic music icon, Gesaffelstein, for the second track off their official GTA VI score.
Every GTA has featured a heavy-hitting electronic track that becomes an instant classic with fans the first time they hear it while driving around the in-game world at night.‘Pusher’ seems like the next one, with pulsing bass and wailing synths that evoke the sirens of a police pursuit.
While many of Justice’s more recent tracks have veered into a rock-inspired sound, fans of the duo’s seminal 2007 album, Cross, will feel right at home as their cinematic sounds clash with Gesaffelstein’s vintage dark electro.You can listen to ‘Pusher’ below.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to release November 19th, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S....
