Downtempo / dub / strings

So this is kind of a broad question. I really enjoy music like Atlas - Compass Error (Tarrentella & Redanka dub). I suppose this genre is called "dub"?
I just heard this song played on di.fm chillout:
http://workbench-music.com/audio/al...oo%20(dusk).mp3
I consider it amazing chillout. It's played at 75 BPM, which is slower than Compass Error, and it has some synths / strings for atmospherics, which sound amazing -- but it does maintain that "dub" feel IMHO.
Then I noticed that one of my other favorites, Trafik - Elegant Suites (part I & II) from Electric Calm v3 is also 75 BPM, and the strings in that song sound pretty profound.
Is there a genre that encompasses these characteristics? Not hip, or new-agey, just... deep, calming, profound (?). (Sorry, words suck for this sort of thing).
(edit) I guess I should mention that Elegant Suite isn't dubby at all. It's downtempo, string-heavy electronica. Strongly recommended! |

I am in fact a big fan of Ulrich Schnauss. Sasha's Wavy Gravy also comes to mind.
Schnauss' work has a bit of an otherworldly feel to it that isn't quite the same as the others. I know I'm splitting hairs here, but I always find it fun to explore the intricacies of genres! |

| "Dub" is a genre of EDM, but in that case that means without vocals/main lead. |
