What is illbient? Here's a few definitions:
Wikipedia:
Though there are many individualistic variants of illbient, the music is characterized by interesting dub-wise layering of soundscapes, hip hop-influenced use of samples and a progressive approach to beat programming that encompasses all genres of world groove and electronic music. Usually, but not always, illbient uses beats more than purely ambient music, and often illbient includes loops in the recordings.
Rate Your Music:
A primarily urban style which arose in New York City in the early '90s, combining elements of Ambient soundscapes and Hip Hop, using Dub's disorienting production techniques.

Hi! As the one who TRULY loves music by Scorn and Mick Harris I always wanted to find more music inspired by this sound or at least in the same vein, so finally I collected all of the discoveries in one place!
So here's my Spotify playlist titled "Scorned - Industrial Dub and Illbient: music similar to Scorn and Mick Harris" (note that it includes only tracks available there):

And if you're using Rate Your Music website I create a special list there (I think it's the fullest list because many of the artists are not present on the streaming platforms):
Hope you'll enjoy it and will discover a lot of great music in the vein of Scorn!
P.S. If you have any suggestions for the RYM list or Spotify playlist - please share it with me!
Would love to start making Illbient music, but I'm not sure where to start. Any tips from anyone?
Compilation inspired by Mick Harris's projects (Scorn, Lull, Quoit, Fret, HedNod Sessions, etc)
