Yeah the Bay area/Norcal part of the US has the most active dubstep scene in America, I have been able to see incredible dubstep without fail every time I have found myself in the area even for brief periods of time... envious.

For my intents and purposes, I consider it dubstep. ;)
(Though not everyone does I guess, what would you label it?)

And yes, I fucking love FUSE. The remix of Satellite is awesome as well.

I have absolutely no idea what i'd label him. He's just one of those artists you cant really put a label on, which I love.

Thizzer: Dude thanks for all the recommendations, I can see how Burial wouldn't be considered dubstep. Excision of the ones you listed is one of my favorites and I think someone else posted Rusko in here which I promptly acquired a good deal of his work.

Better: Awesome! Thanks, I knew there was a huge dubstep scene here but I just didn't know where to get info on it.
 
Since you like Rusko (and I mean, who doesnt?! cant wait to see him in april), go check out:

Caspa
Nero
Bar9
Reso
and of course, Skream.

I myself see Burial to be more on the 2-step side of things.


Dubstep: you cant not dance
(song in the video is Skream - Simple City)

I've really been feeling Darker dub as of late.

Artists like:

JuJu
Skream/Skream
Benga
Martyn
Mala
Loefah
Cluekid
The Others

Very heavy on the bass, but not something very overwhelming or cheesy. Simplistic, and yet very intricate.

funny, i don't really think of joy orbison as dubstep either... more like 2-step/uk garage. i've noticed a fair amount of 2-step sounding beats being classified as dubstep these days, i guess because that's the hot genre right now and people with those tastes are happy with either sound.
 
More on the Joy Orbison/future garage/etc stuff, people should check out Duncan Powell's Came Into View EP. It's fuckin' solid.
