== Title Menu Music ==
== Overview ==
''Deadlock's'' main musical identity since the [[Six New Heroes]] update displays elements of [[wikipedia:Trip_hop|Trip hop]], a genre popularized in the 1990s and defined as a psychedelic fusion of hip-hop and electronica, with influences from jazz and other styles.
 
== Composer ==
The music for ''Deadlock'' was composed by a member of the development team who wishes to remain anonymous for the time being. In a private email, Valve composer Mike Morasky explained that the composer will likely take credit at a future date and confirmed it was not him or "anyone else you might normally guess."<ref>2025-07-28 - [[:File:Mike Morasky Composer Email.png|Email from Mike Morasky]] - ''"it wasn't me or anyone else you might normally guess"''</ref> Morasky had also previously denied his involvement publicly on X (formerly Twitter).<ref>2024-10-23 - [https://x.com/MikeMorasky/status/1849222739900657787 Mike Morasky] on X - ''"I am not responsible for the music in deadlock"''</ref>
