With all the delirious hype around 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, you’d be forgiven for not wanting to hear anything about the infamous series for several years. However, Resident Advisor is reporting that a compilation of Star Wars-inspired electronic tracks is due to land later this month. Mega-producer Rick Rubin (whose fingerprints are all over music from the likes of the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Jay Z) has curated Star Wars Headspace: a collection of 15 tracks that sample audio from the Star Wars films. Notable artists to contribute works include Flying Lotus with “R2 Where R U?” and Rustie with “EWOK PUMPP,” plus Shlohmo, Baauer, Bonobo, Claude VonStroke, and Röyksopp.
Before the compilation drops via the Hollywood label on February 19, stream a handful of tracks (and hear what FlyLo had to say about the project to radio host Zane Lowe) here via Pitchfork.
