Have a look at some of Synaesthesia's stuff. It was a Front Line Assemby side project (Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber).

Mostly ambient, but a lot of the stuff was beatless. I like to listen to it when I need to zone out.
For example (the beat comes, but it's really basic, and comes much later):
- This is a fan video, just so you know.Continuity
- Also, it's Assembly*, and you need to add a ) at the end of the link.Continuity

This is pretty much the least cool band to namecheck ever haha...but I would say Tangerine Dream are the most direct influence of the track you posted at the top.
- they are an 80s kid's ost first love, scoring out stuff like Near Dark!prophetone

I would argue that the original video posted does contain a "beat", a rhythm with the sequenced percussive notes.

probably not the correct sound as it is only a piano.
I programmed this in ableton with a bunch of variables. Each export is a different piece altogether
