A techno track featuring Tom?

Looks like British techno producer ASC has released a track that samples Christopher Marlowe’s The Passionate Shepherd to His Love. Both Tom Hiddleston and Romanian singer Lucia are featured reading some of the lines from the poem.

The track was released in November, 2018, and is available on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon.
