Steve Aoki remixes the Ghost in the Shell theme

Based on the internationally acclaimed sci-fi manga series, as well as the anime that followed, GHOST IN THE SHELL follows Major (Scarlett Johansson), a special ops, one-of-a-kind human cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. The theme from the anime has been reworked by Steve Aoki, and you can listen to a good chunk of it below.

While I'm willing to admit that dubstep is not my bag (baby), I can recognize when it's done well, and when it's the same old stuff. This sounds like nothing new and barely resembles the original music, save for a few samples. Given that the score for the film was written by Clint Mansell, I'm hoping they reserve this track for the end credits.

GHOST IN THE SHELL opens in theaters on March 31, 2017.
