Dom Dolla, Tiësto, PAWSA and More Fuel High-Octane F1 Movie Soundtrack

Atlantic Records has lifted the hood on F1: The Album, the forthcoming soundtrack to Apple Original Films’ Formula 1 movie, and it’s a turbo-charged celebration of EDM’s tightening grip on the motorsport world.

The genre has long flirted with Formula 1’s flair for spectacle, but the relationship goes full-throttle with this soundtrack. Dom Dolla leads the charge with “No Room for A Saint,” marking another milestone in his own F1 crossover journey following his headlining performance at LIV on the Grid during the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Other dance music producers on the soundtrack include Peggy Gou with her kinetic reimagining of “D.A.N.C.E”; Dutch icon Tiësto, who teamed up with Sexyy Red for the boisterous “OMG!”; and UK underground staple PAWSA, who was recently named by EDM.com as one of 2024’s best electronic music producers.

While artists like Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae and Burna Boy round out the score’s cross-genre appeal, it’s the electronic contingent that underscores a cultural shift that’s been brewing for years. EDM and Formula 1 have been embracing a crossover crescendo in which headliners like Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix and Above & Beyond have become mainstays at Grand Prix weekends from Monaco to Miami.

The film is directed by Top Gun: Maverick‘s Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer alongside seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton. Starring Brad Pitt, the film blends dramatic fiction with real F1 race footage and cameo appearances from motorsport titans like Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc.

Both F1: The Album and the feature film itself drop globally on June 27th. Check out the full tracklist and trailer below.
