Electro-Choc is an electro house radio station that appears in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. It is hosted by legendary DJ François K. The second downloadable episode The Ballad of Gay Tony expands the station with a new DJ, Crookers, while Episodes from Liberty City does not include the François K program. Electro-Choc is non-stop and plays no commercials or advertisements, much like MSX FM and Rise FM in Grand Theft Auto III. Electro-Choc can be heard playing in Niko's Algonquin Safehouse. Crookers are the DJ's of Maisonette 9 and they play their setlist inside the club. The logo of Electro-Choc resembles a neon sign with a headset socket at the end with normal text for the rest of the station name. It also loosely resembles a wired electric vibrator (sextoy), hence "Electro" since a vibrator is electronic.
