I tried a simple piano vsti (4Front) with chorus and phaser (Ableton's native) but somehow couldnt get that distinctive sound, any idea's /tips?

yeah maybe i'm to tight up in complex synthesis and the answer is right in front of my nose but seriously I spent a good 2 hours on it and just couldn't get the sound proper.

if you have Ableton Live Suit try out Electric, it's an electric piano emulator and should work perfectly for what you're after.
if not I'm sure there are plenty of rhodes or wurly samples out there that will do the job.

You should watch Echoes of Dub. It will show you the way.

Sounds more flangery than phaser to me, but I get them confused sometimes so... yeah.
