Album information
editExecutive producer JFK (of the DJ/production duo MSTRKRFT and Death From Above 1979) used various electronic artists to create songs based on individual characters from the MK franchise, as well as creating a song of his own for the project.[2]
The album had three singles released to digital outlets. The first single, "Mileena's Theme" by Tokimonsta, was released on January 31, 2011.[3] Subsequent singles, "Liu Kang's Theme" by Congorock, and "Helado (Sub-Zero's Theme)" by Harvard Bass, were released on February 10, 2011.[4][5]
"Reptile's Theme" by Skrillex is used for television advertisements of the 2011 video game. This theme has also been used in the 2nd trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014), as well as the trailer for the BronyCon version of Child's Play 2.
