The Dub Trio is a little too rockish for my taste (at least what I have heard), but there is a band from France called Kaly Live Dub. That blows it up check this:
is all ambient style dub.
Personally I really dig dub (both modern, electronic stuff and old Mad Professor, Sly & Robbie etc stuff) as well as d'n'b and a lot of electronic music in general. The trick for me is how to integrate some of those elements into the album my guitar player and I are writing as a side project (a) without losing "our" sound and (b) not having it sound cheesy. It's proving tougher than I thought.
One thing I wish I could do is program electronic drums. We were just talking today about doing something like Smashing Pumpkin's "1979" or Radiohead's "15 Step" where electronic beats mix with live drums. Any advice on how to get started?

A question tho: Would you consider an Om like setup as D'n'B, even if its doom...
Like metal, electronica annoys me a bit in its endless sub categorization (black, death, math metal vs dub step, break core, downtempo etc) but D'n'B as a whole is pretty easy to classify. To me it's all about high tempo, breakbeat drums and grooving, synthy sub bass, both of which are usually electronic. I also think of the bass as being slow until a break hits where it gets faster and busier. You should also hear the Amen break in every song, even if you don't want to.
The term drum & bass is about style, not instrumentation. Personally, I'm not sure when or why it stopped being called Jungle, but again, I'm not big on categorizing music.
