In 1999 I saw Blame play in Boston, and he began his set with Seba's "Predator", then on dubplate. It was unlike anything any one of us had heard before. My mates and I looked at each other, transfixed, as the dark, tribal vibe filled the room. It was a long ways from what we knew as "atmospheric jungle", and Blame surprised us with a heavyweight set that included the amen crusher "Point Four".

Since then, few tunes like "Predator" have followed it. Some releases on 720 by Odyssey and Deep Blue briefly carried the torch, and there was a wave of "tribal" half-time dnb in the 2010s, but otherwise whatever trail "Predator" blazed has remained threadlike and obscure, like the path in this mix's artwork.

This mix follows that trail to see where it could go. It isn't explicitly "tribal" so much as mystical and psychedelic. This thin rope of a trail traverses a good amount of dub territory, passing briefly through France, where artists Hydrangea and Aerae ply the atmospheric techno spectrum. This is a journey of intuition, where mystery lies around each corner and destination is not a concern.

Track list is below. Enjoy!
