History#

The pioneers of the genre were mostly interested in the combination between ambient music and dub. The Orb can be seen as one of the first producers to combine the two genres. Several tracks on their first album “The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld”, released in 1991, already sound a lot like contemporary Psydub. Psydub developed further by the influence of Psytrance. Psytrance producers have always had a keen interest in all kinds of music and a few of them have produced tracks that have big Dub influences. produced in 1994 and released on triple vinyl in 1998 by Bustin’ Loose Recordings, who were two of the first acts to produce psybient music.
