Wikipedia has an article on: Crookers

Crookers is a DJ duo from Milan, Italy founded in 2003 by Francesco "Phra" Barbaglia and Andrea "Bot" Fratangelo. They are primarily known for being the DJs of Electro-Choc in The Ballad of Gay Tony, as most of the playlist of the radio station in this game features their own mixes.

Career[]

Both of them started playing the guitar at a young age, before moving on to synthesizers, turntables, and sequencers. Phra himself was introduced to the DJ world at the age of 11, being on the Italian hip-hop scene. When the two met, they were both trying to branch out of their genre and explore dance and electro styles. Phra comments about their first collaboration, which was a success: "It felt natural to team up, seeing that we had the same musical tastes… which isn’t that easy here in Milan".

On October 19, 2012, it was announced that Bot had left the group to pursue a new direction and that Phra would carry on the Crookers name as a solo project.

In Episodes from Liberty City, the duo are said to be broadcasting live from Maisonette 9, though they cannot be seen in person in-game.
