Rick Rubin Is Curating a ‘Star Wars’ EDM Tribute, Listen to the Flying Lotus Song + More Now
Grammy-winning producer and Beastie Boys mentor Rick Rubin has turned to the dark side – or the light, depending on how you feel about EDM and/or capitalism.
Rubin is curating and executive producing a new compilation that pairs dance music artists with sound effects and dialogue straight from the blockbusting Star Wars franchise.
