Where is psydub ?
Re:Psytrance Guide by Fnoord on Wednesday August 14, 2019 @07:00AM (#20694253)
I suppose there is some overlap with psyambient and psychill. There was a time when not every genre had psy before it.

If you like that genre, I can recommend Ott's Hallucinogen In Dub remixes and his album Skylon [1]. I also like some specific tracks of Easily Embarrased and Koan but not sure which genre it falls under.

Good God, Ott is by far my favorite artist with not even a distant second. I've been hunting for other artists/tracks for the last few months to fill the void til his new album comes out but have only come up disappointed and empty handed. Nobody else seems to be able to be so varied and inventive with each track yet always deliver a compelling and engaging sound and melody so reliably.

Anyone have more recommendations?

Some artists truly are unique. and I think Ott falls into that category.

Entheogenic, Slackbaba or Globular are probably the closest you'll find.

Globular is fantastic, haven't really dug into Entheogenic or even heard of Slackbaba. I'll give those a look, thanks!

Which records you like the most from ott?
Re:Psytrance Guide by dejawu on Wednesday August 14, 2019 @10:21AM (#20695823)
I think Fairchildren is his best work yet, especially the back half. "Harwell Dekatron" was a fantastic standout and I hope he experiments more with branching out in that direction. My favorites off Mir are tracks 2-4, and off Skylon I loved "The Queen of All Everything", "Rogue Bagel", "Signals from Bob", and "382 Seaside".

An artist which uses similar “globe trans melodies” that I listen to is banco de gaiga though these are old records but are unique sounds https://bancodegaia.bandcamp.com/

As you mentioned Etnica in another post, Etnica in Dub is also highly recommended : https://etnica.bandcamp.com/album/etnica-in-dub

I don't agree really, psydub is quite distinct. Though it is a rather small genre.
