I have a long lasting fascination for the whole “Blade Runner” franchise ever since I first saw Ridley Scott’s iconic science-fiction movie as a kid. I also enjoyed playing the PC game that was released back in 1996 as well as the late follow-up movie from a few years ago. In many ways that movie might have initiated a subtle love for dystopian fiction and those desolate worlds which fascinate me ever since. The saddening fact that our society is slowly heading towards such a bleak scenario is quite an iconic twist here. Maybe I need that reminder that things can get even worse in order to fight for a better future. I honestly can’t tell.

I’ve been digging the whole aesthetic of the movie as well as the sound that late Greek composer Vangelis composed for it in 1982. So, the idea to explore this world musically is a very personal one and I came up with the question: How would a night out in that dystopian moloch of futuristic Los Angeles look like? What if Harrison Ford’s Rick Deckard went from club to club during one of those rainy nights? Do androids rave to electronic beats? That’s the story I wanted to tell with this tape.

This Messy Mix is constantly switching between quiet and loud moments with an overall feeling of darkness and doom clouding it. The more melancholic ambient moments (including music from the original 1982 score as well as from the 2017 sequel by Hans Zimmer and Ben Wallfisch) are interrupted by pumping and heavy electronic beats, underlining the intensity of the scenery. In it you’ll find the work of admired contemporary producers like Daniel Avery, Rival Consoles, Ellen Alien, HAAi, Burial, Moderat and a few more surprises (watch out for music from the 90s PC game). It’s indeed a journey right towards the end when Jehnny Beth fittingly states “I used to be a human being”; something that’s quite fitting to the themes of this series. Link is in the Bio and I surely hope you’ll enjoy it.

Felix Dickinson - 01.07.25

For Episode 04 of the Balearic London mix series we've invited the wonderful Piers Harrison. An exceptional DJ, Mysticisms label head, edits expert, an occasional writer for Test Pressing, and big time dub and balearic enthusiast. Most importantly, someone we have huge amounts of respect for, and whose selections we are massive fans of.

Dive into this beautiful mix which we've personally listened to many times already before finally putting it out. It's a true beaut. If you want to hear more from Piers, then we recommend the recording of his 6.5 hour long b2b with Brian Not Brian at Giant Steps which was released on the legendary Trushmix.
