It’s taken a lot of collecting to make these two, a corp and a runner from the Kitara cycle.
Mti Mwekundu – Ethiojazz into dark fusion.
Freedom Khumalo – African and diasporic metal into rock and surprise techno.

Liza, in addition to some very hip Native American pop, has a bunch of alt country, because I like it and wanted to put it somewhere. Az, same, but with new wave goth shit.
Made four new corp mixes for your jamming pleasure! Also adding to the master lists, of course.
I’ve been making, soliciting, and collecting playlists inspired by each Netrunner identity. They aim to be about an hour long, as thematically focused as possible with each a slightly different genre feel, but most corps instrumental and most runners with vocals. Almost every runner is up on 8tracks; other hosts without as many ads welcome! There are a few not finished since I felt they used genres I wasn’t very familiar with or couldn’t acquire mp3s for. If you think you can put one together I can try to add it, or please suggest tracks for those IDs I’ve starred!
Some ground rules for making a playlist:
Use netrunner art of or pertaining to the ID for the cover image
On-theme is more important than in-genre
No repeat artists (guests and side projects are safe, though!)
No songs that are on another one of these playlists
Needs to play in a specific order with a kind of narrative transition
