Instinct Ambient was a sub-label of Instinct active from 1995 through 1997. Initially focussing on pure ambient works, the later releases on the label also featured trip-hop and downtempo drum'n'bass sounds.

Some titles were also released in Europe on a KK Records sub-label called Instinct Ambient Europe.

Instinct has released some titles under the Ambient Systems banner after 1997, but they no longer use the Instinct Ambient label, and instead release them on the main label.
