The idea is simple: ask a few heads from the sound desks of Star Wars for some samples - dialogues, sound effects, music, more sound effects - to create new compositions. Behind this Star Wars Headspace we find one of the most respected producers from the past 30 years: Rick Rubin. The bearded production guru was convened for this project, which appears in the wake of the seventh episode of the saga and brings together an enticing cast including Flying Lotus, Rick Rubin, Röyksopp, Breakbot, Bonobo, A-Trak, Baauer, Shlohmo and more. Not to mention the fact that Rubin himself jumps in for a track. Between the clamor of Chewbacca, the breath of Darth Vader and the exasperation of R2D2, the resulting record is openly eclectic, alternating between purely dancefloor tracks and more cerebral electro. © CM/Qobuz
