The recording that got me started on this mix is brand new from Crows Labyrinth called "Neon Scenes I: Granular Dreams". It's a longform generative ambient drone track with a lead synth that has a great Blade Runner vibe. You can find it here... https://crowslabyrinth.bandcamp.com/album/neon-scenes-i-granular-dreams
As soon as I heard that track I knew I had to create another Blade Runner mix. This is my fourth one. Here are the links to the others:

https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/blade-runner-is-now/
https://www.mixcloud.com/lowlight/blade-runner-pop-soundtrack/
One thing that sets this mix apart from the others is that many of the tunes are very purposely trying to replicate the sound of the original soundtrack. Some cuts even use rain, voices and effects to mimic the feel. I added a bit of BR sound fx on a couple of tracks to reinforce the vibe. Most of the time though it's that lead synth sound that transports me right back to 1982.
Some folks may have a problem with current artists so blatantly aping a style and sound(some more than others here). But I don't care, I just love the overall sound and feel of these tracks.

Your mixes are so exciting and so varied! thanks a lot. Have you heard to Tom Middleton's Sleep series, which are scientifically-formulated sleep music, and don't say Bladerunner, but sure sound like it at times. The influence of Vangelis' Bladerunner soundtrack only seem to be more and more over the years and decades. Almost it's own genre!
