"Blade" is a 1998 action-horror film directed by Stephen Norrington and starring Wesley Snipes as the titular character, a half-vampire, half-human vampire hunter. The film is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name and follows Blade as he battles against the vampire underworld, particularly Deacon Frost, a vampire leader with ambitions to dominate humanity. Known for its stylish action sequences, martial arts choreography, and dark tone, "Blade" was notable for bringing a fresh and gritty approach to superhero cinema. It was a commercial success and helped pave the way for the modern era of comic book movies.

The soundtrack of "Blade" features a dynamic blend of electronic music, hip-hop, and techno, reflecting the film's dark and modern aesthetic. The music is an integral part of the film's atmosphere, enhancing the intense action scenes and the sleek, urban setting. Notable tracks include "Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix)" by New Order, which plays during the iconic blood rave scene, and "Dealing with the Roster" by Mobb Deep. The soundtrack was praised for its innovative fusion of genres and remains a memorable aspect of the film, contributing to its cult status.
