Oscar® winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross release “Challengers [MIXED]”, a special mix of their upcoming soundtrack to Luca Guadagnino’s film “Challengers” reimagined by acclaimed DJ and producer Boys Noize.
Now available, this release includes 9 tracks from the film’s explosive electronic soundtrack, each deconstructed and reimagined with additional production from Boys Noize, selected by the duo to create a continuous DJ set. Characterized by electronic beats and synthesizers, the mix reaches its climax with the hypnotic and industrial “Compress / Repress”, an original vocal track with lyrics written by Luca Guadagnino – listen to it here.
Starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” hits theaters on Friday, April 26 from Amazon MGM Studios. Written by Justin Kuritzkes and directed by Luca Guadagnino.
On the mix, DJ and producer Boys Noize comments:
“It’s been a fun challenge to turn this into a seamless experience and take it even further by redesigning the tracks, creating new elements and changing certain parts, especially on ‘Compress / Repress’, which gets super epic at the end. Working with Trent and Atticus has been a dream come true; they’ve been great and helpful throughout the whole process.”
About “Challengers”.
From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, “Challengers” stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist – West Side Story), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must measure himself against the unsuccessful Patrick (Josh O’Connor – The Crown), his former best friend and Tashi’s ex-boyfriend. When their pasts and presents collide and tensions run high, Tashi must ask himself: how much will it cost to win?
