Thanks for the link to the Dubstep thread, sidewinder! It is nice to get a "diagnosis" for the type of music I might like.
I listened to more of Amon Tobin and then Eskmo, since you said Eskmo may have "brought the menace to the table"--I like that phrase! I think it is hit and miss with me with some of the dubstep songs, because some I like and others...not so much. However, I did find much of Eskmo's music appealing, and now that I've heard more of his work definitely hear his influence in "Fine Objects" by Eskamon.
As an example, right now I am listening to and enjoying
Eskmo's "San Francisco," which I only wish didn't have the vocals in it ("The Rhythm...San Francisco"), which sound hokie to me and limit the scope of the song. Despite the vocals, I like the watery but harsh, slow rhythmic feeling of the song, which feels playful yet solid. I especially like the low growling thuds. I bet they have quite an impact on one's gut if one has good speakers. And I love the picture of the hammerhead sharks used for this homemade video. I like thinking of all these animals swimming around down under there, doing their own thing while we are...here.
Eskmo, "San Francisco":
