Radio Mirror Park is the indie station in GTA 5 and GTA Online. It broadcasts on 88.9 FM, and Twin Shadow (George Lewis Jr.) hosts it as "DJ George". It has 40 songs: 22 from the 2013 launch and 18 that play only on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. At least four of its songs are on the official GTA 5 soundtrack album.
Who hosts Radio Mirror Park in GTA Online?
The American singer George Lewis Jr. hosts the station. He records music as Twin Shadow, and he uses the name "DJ George" on air. Between songs, he complains about mainstream culture and makes fun of his listeners.
Three songs on the station are his own songs: "Shooting Holes", "Old Love / New Love" and "Forget". "Forget" plays only on the newer versions of the game.
The station is a parody of the hipster culture of the early 2010s. The game files call the station "silverlake", after the Los Angeles area that Mirror Park copies. The GTA Wiki says that the station is most likely based on KXLU, a college station in Los Angeles, "right down to the frequency." Radio Mirror Park is also one of the stations that Michael De Santa likes. The station plays in both Story Mode and GTA Online.

Which Radio Mirror Park songs are on the official GTA 5 soundtrack?
Rockstar released The Music of Grand Theft Auto V digitally on 24 September 2013, in three volumes. Volume 1 has the original music for the game. Volume 2 has the score. Volume 3 has songs from the radio stations.
These Radio Mirror Park songs are on Volume 1:
| Volume 1 track | Song | Artist |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Old Love / New Love | Twin Shadow |
| 4 | Change of Coast | Neon Indian |
| 8 | High Pressure Dave | HEALTH |
| Not given | Sleepwalking | The Chain Gang of 1974 |
Hypebeast calls "Sleepwalking" the game's theme and lists it on Volume 1, but it does not give the track number. This table shows only the station songs that the sources name.
Was "Old Love / New Love" written for GTA 5?
Yes. Twin Shadow wrote the song for GTA 5, and the game plays it on Radio Mirror Park, his own station. The song features D'Angelo Lacy. George Lewis Jr., Dennis Herring and D'Angelo Lacy wrote it.
Twin Shadow released the song as a single on 13 September 2013 to promote the game. Rockstar then put it on Volume 1 of the soundtrack album, where it runs 3:53. The song is also on Eclipse, the third studio album by Twin Shadow. In its album review, Consequence wrote that "Twin Shadow added a new track for his own station".
In the game, the song does not play to the end. It fades out early into the talk of the host.

Which Radio Mirror Park songs did Rockstar cut?
The trackID.gxt2 file on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions names 21 songs that Rockstar planned for the station but did not use there. Six of these songs came back on the newer versions:
- "The Drummer" by Niki and the Dove
- "New Beat" by Toro y Moi
- "In Real Life" by The Ruby Suns
- "O.N.E." by Yeasayer

These cut songs are different from songs that Rockstar took out of the game after release. For those, read Songs Removed From GTA 5: The Full List and Why.
Can DJ Cara introduce a Radio Mirror Park song?
Not in the game. DJ Cara hosts Non-Stop-Pop FM, not Radio Mirror Park. On this site, you can type your own song intro, and the DJ Cara AI voice reads it over the Non-Stop-Pop FM intro. Use the GTA Radio Voice Generator to make the clip. The voice is an AI recreation of the radio character, not Cara Delevingne, and Rockstar has nothing to do with it.
