Legendary music producer Rick Rubin who has helped produce some of the most famous albums of our times, covering a wide range of genres, from the likes of Run-D.M.C. and LL Cool J to bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ed Sheeran and Kanye West.

However this month Rubin is set to release certainly what will be one of his strangest releases yet with ‘Star Wars Headspace’ an EDM Star Wars album which is set to have samples from numerous characters from the films, from the R2-D2 to C-3P0. It is rumoured that recent Star Wars director JJ Abrams is set to make an appearance in the album as well.

Rubin has produced this album with help from Flying Lotus, Röyksopp and Rustie a proper mix of musicians, with Röyksopp being a Norwegian electronic duo, Flying Lotus a American producer and rapper and Rustie being a Scottish EDM musician.

The album is set to be released digitally on the 19th February.

BBC DJ Zane Lowe yesterday called the album his world record in a tweet:

It certainly promises to be an interesting album, a few singles have already been released from the album, listen to track number 7, NR-G7 below:

Within this track you can hear samples from both R2-D2 and Darth Vader! Mad stuff!
