Looking for "eerie apocalyptic primal tribalesque electronic dance music"

So... I've started to pinpoint something that I really like in electronic music and
it's this kind of dark, foreboding, primitive, hectic, crazy, futuristic yet raw and gritty sound.

I think my first exposure to it was when I liked Prodigy - Climbatize as a child

Which has this re-occuring part with some kind of a horn blowing over the hectic beat. In my mind it was always the sound of
like a rider charging into a battlefield on an elephant and blowing in a mighty horn. But more like that part of the first Animatrix short where there is
the skeleton robot riding a robot horse and slowly breaking down (anyone know what I'm talking about?) That's the feeling I am after.

Here is another example with that gives me the same vibe

Swedish rap with trap beat. I like the crazy truck horn blasting through the production, the spooky choirs in the back and the high pitch snaps and bleeps. I also like the spaciousness of the production, it has this paranoid feeling that I'm after.

Here is another example

I think I am looking for this emotion of people dancing under apocalyptic conditions, I imagine the dance party in Zion in the Matrix 2 but more dark and sinister. Like all hope is lost, we're all going to suffer and die and nothing can be done to avoid it. We might as well get fucked up and dance anyway until we loose our minds out of fear and hopelessness.
I want something that sounds a bit like if Thom Yorke took way too much speed and K, is going through a paranoid episode and can only hold on to sanity by making dance music. So the darkest and most nihilistic sounding Radiohead songs but with the heaviness and grittiness on level of how Converge compares to The Ramones, if anyone knows punk music.

In a way this is the kind of music I am looking for

But I want it more full, more melodic, heavier bass, a bit more "laser" sound and less repetitive dance, more varied "story" type feel to the songs if that makes sense.

I hope anyone gets the kind of mood and sounds I want to hear. Thanks for any and all help! I really don't know how to describe this.
