'Experimental' Dub...?

ok...so I know the word Intelligent is faux pas when dealing with electronic music...prolly even more so with Dub because pretty much all of it i've heard is very intelligent in the literal sense. However, I am looking for Intelligent Dub. And by this I mean very technical, often glitchy, makes use of polyrhythms...I've since been informed "Intelligent" in dub means straight beat or some shit...so this has been edited to talk about EXPERIMENTAL DUB, lol...

I've been into dub for a while now...but in the past few years there have been some really amazing glitchy Dub albums, like Boxcutter's new alias' release Balancing Lakes. I love a lot of Kode 9, u-ziq, The Bug, some Distance(some is too simplistic for my tastes), some Ninja Tune releases(funny to hear Dub from them now)...but when I start to search for similar stuff I get mostly what amounts to Grime, rather than Glitch. I could prolly name off 10 Dubstep artists that are great, but Im hoping you guys can help me expand my horizons without having to be frustrated by downloading endless amounts of Grime that I dont really get into.

If Squarepusher made Dubstep, what would it sound like?

Any advice? Many thanks in advance

the term "intellidub" was coined by Sean Demis to describe an FSTZ tune called Transcend because it has a 4x4 backbeat and techno-ish sounds

dont know why, but the term stuck

thanks for the suggestions...looking into right now...im not so much looking for 'techno/electro/dance' dub...more like really glitchy dub. Like if Squarepusher made dubstep tracks. The Boxcutter remix of Kitchen Sink, by Amon Tobin is fucking great. I forgot to mention Burial, thank you. the planet mu label has been doing tons of Dub lately & I like a whole lot of what comes from them, tho the BBC Dub box sets i've not liked that much. I guess I should say "Experimental Dub" rather than Intel, since the term seems to represent something else. So yeh...thread title edited for that now...any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I live in Florida, and not the good part...so rare or new dub are really hard to come across. Thanks in advance!

Thanks very much for the suggestions...I guess I just have to wait for new tracks to come out. I like the Sabbath Dubs, but they are a bit to hardcore for me. I love the Flying Lotus, so I'll check that podcast fo sho! Rusty? Um...I'll look on Myspace I guess but I wonder how many "Rusty"s I'll be looking thru...Im still looking for extremely technical or experimental Dubstep to use for my latest mix. But I seem to know or have most of the experimental dubstep ever made, I guess.

To give you an idea, the track Do You Know Squarepusher is being included in my dubstep set, immediately after the Boxcutter Remix of Amon Tobin's Kitchen Sink & some Balancing Lakes track. Please, keep the suggestions coming! Many thanks for the cooperation & advice
