Dub as a term has been around a few decades more than trance....
Dub was "invented" in the late 60s in Jamaica and the original meaning of it was sort of an alternate, toned down, mostly instrumental style of ska and reggae and has been used in various places and contexts ever since. Read more HERE and/or HERE.
Dub doesn't quite equal to instrumental and least it does that in EDM because dub mixes here are usually toned down from highs and lows, more subtle versions of a track and with less vocals (can include some excerpts of vocals here and there) while instrumentals can be pretty much the same than vocal versions but completetely without the vocals. Alot of people seem to think dub is the same as instrumental when it isn't.
As for dub producers in EDM, i can't think of any.. i guess because i have never been a fan of that style or genre or whatever it would be. But i do remember hearing some dubby tracks from The Orb, Massive Attack and some others.
