RADIO VEXELSTROM is heard throughout Night City, often on radios found around in various locations, and is automatically playing on the radio the first time the player enters V's apartment. It plays a combination of industrial rock and electronic dance music.[1]
At the start of Act 1, after sleeping in the bed, the Samurai song Chippin' In is played on this radio channel. This is the only occasion when it is played on a different channel than 107.3 Morro Rock Radio.
Trivia[]
The station's name "VEXELSTROM" is a play on the German word for Alternating Current, "Wechselstrom" which is fitting its mainly electronic music, and alternating music genres. Other possible inspirations for the name are Danish or Norwegian "Vekselstrøm" and Swedish "Växelström"; all with similar pronunciations.
"Night City Aliens" by Homeschool Dropouts (The Armed) also appears in the soundtrack of the Netflix anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
