Solo: A Star Wars Story (May 25)
Solo: A Star Wars Story is a film following Han Solo’s life before the original trilogy. The first original Star Wars movie was released in 1977, so naturally this playlist features songs that encapsulate some of the most popular sounds and genres of the era that is Star Wars. So close your eyes, settle in and get ready for a playlist seamlessly curated to fit a rocky ride in the millenium falcon with Han and Chewie.

Ready Player One (March 30)
While this is technically not a summer release, this movie will definitely captivate audiences for a very long time. The Steven Spielberg directed film, is considered to be one of the trailblazers in making summer blockbuster movies a popular Hollywood trend (i.e. Jaws), so it would have been a shame to not have it as an honorable mention. The movie is chock-filled with retro references that will sure to pull out nostalgic feelings in those who appreciate old arcade culture. This playlist focuses on a mix of both the old and new sounds of electronica and synthpop.
