Genres involved include chiptune, industrial, electronic and orchestra. | 6 | Unknown (possible Octarian) | Various (mainly synthesizer, pitch-shifted sound effects and chiptune, percussion). | ||||||
DJ Octavio | No Squid Research description | DJ Octavio's music is heard in the final boss battles of Octo Valley. it largely takes inspiration from Electronic Dance Music, with some light rap elements. | 1 | Male (Octarian) | ??? |

Fictional Band | Squid Research Description | Music description | Number of songs | Number of members | Instruments | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Turquoise October | No Squid Research description | Similarly to their music in Splatoon, their music focuses heavily on sampling and pitch-shifting of sound effects, possibly Octarian. However, in Splatoon 2, they begin to incorporate guitar sections much more frequently and drop the frequent references to chiptune in their music. Certain sound effects from the first game, such as the burping sound effect from Cephaloparade, return. Genre's include electronic, dance and breakcore. | 6 | Unknown (possible Octarian) | Various (focus on percussion, vocals, synthesizers, guitar, samples) | ||||||
Dedf1sh |

Dedf1sh focuses heavily on the vaporwave and Lo-fi genre as well as incorporating elements of rock, EDM, funk, rap, ska and dance. Elements of Breakcore can be heard in Splattack! (Octo). Her music is heard throughout the Octo Expansion DLC. | 15 | 1 (female)(Octarian) | Various (focus on vocals, percussion, synthesizers, samples, guitar) | ||||||
Diss-Pair |
|
Diss-pair's music is a mix between Heavy Metal and Electronic Dance Music . Their music is therefore a fusion of heavy metal riffs backed by deep, husky vocals and electric, funky synthesiser beats, often alternating back and forth between the two genres. | 2 | 2 (2 male)(1 Inkling, one Octarian) | Heavy Metal/EDM fusion |
Other
Cuttlefish Idols: A duo comprised of two female cuttlefish that was big with teenagers in the eighties and nineties, that still compose music for the industry in the present day. The Cuttlefish Idols are unique in that they do not have any listenable tracks and were only described in HaikaraWalker. However their music artwork can be found floating in the background J05C14 Stick 'n' Move Station with the artists removed, although one of their forearms remains.
Trivia
- Dedf1sh has the most songs out of all musicians, with fifteen total songs.
- Turquoise October, the Chirpy Chips, the Squid Sisters and Bob Dub are the only musicians to appear in both Splatoon and Splatoon 2 (not counting the Squid Squad and Hightide Era also being unlockable in Squid Beatz 2 via amiibo).
