I'm very new to dubstep music and electro\club music in general. I have listened Depeche Mode, LCD Soundsystem, Bloc Party, some Daft Punk, some Chemical Brothers but especially A LOT of "Nine inch Nails" etc. so its not like I'm coming from a country background, I have listened to a lot of "synth-based music".
I have now for a long time been trying to find some... well... trance, techno, house or similar "clubbish" music to listen to but I have always failed; maybe finding a song or two I liked but giving up after listening to songs that either did not appeal to me specifically or that simply was garbage from the start. And I apologize if I insulted anybody by referring to "your" music as "clubbish" but from my outside perspective that is how it is perceived. I thought for a while that I had fought what I liked and it was called something like "progressive house" or something... but I think I jumped gun as usual and soon found out that there were, just as always, just some songs I liked but simply to much I didnt for it to be... worth my time, so to speak. The latest music of this kind I have come across is dubstep and I must say I rather enjoy some of it very very much, the problem as usual is that I just cant seem to enjoy more then a small percentage of what is out there.
So I came up with the idea that maybe some people who are more versed in the structures and types of dubstep (and perhaps other "clubbish" music styles) could help me figure out what specifically it is that I like. Maybe there is a name for the specific type of dubstep I like? Maybe someone could even suggest an artist? Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated BUT PLEASE do not just suggest some random dubstep that YOU happen to like; since my problem is that I love a tiny bit of the available music but does not enjoy the vast majority of it more or less at all - a random (how ever good) song is unlikely to be one my head can understand and appreciate.
I believe that the type of dubstep that I like is when the song is very aggressive and has a rather fast pace BUT the "sound" is very heavy ("industy-esque" sounds and samples are of course a huge plus since my love of Nine Inch Nails) and very... controlled and stable while being fast and aggressive. I think that the "controlled chaos" is a factor that almost must be there for me to like it. This of course alienates most dubstep songs that I have come across, which is of course the problem, I either find most dubstep to slow paced or, in my ears, just chaos... And please dont misunderstand me; im not saying that dubstep (the majority) is bad or anything like that, in some cases it is but in most it is simply a matter of taste. So my problem is very simple actually: I LOVE some dubstep, and really want to listen more and get into this kind of music, but find it just to hard to go through all the songs I dont like in order to find it. Its to time consuming and repetitive. I usually find atleast 10-20 songs I dont like for everyone I do like. I have tried searching for more songs from the same artists but usually come up empty handed
. Its just really
frustrating... and I would LOVE it if someone could help me out.Here are some songs that I do like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUkLNi40Idg (absolutley love the song but not a fan of the "voice clips" (not a fan of "singing" in electronic music either)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awgXrAHktGc (the crazy part between like a bit into 03:00 and a bit after 04:00 is fantastic, the rest of the song is good)
Other songs that I liked before I found dubstep that counts as "electronic music" were interestingly enough by Trentemoller and... dj Mason (?!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XwOjSpdbc (should really be to slow for my taste but its just to damn awesome... but its on the edge for me...)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHyCnanvMEw (Really tried to find anything else by mason that I liked... but no luck as usual...)
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated because im getting close to just giving up on trying to love electronic music... its just been to hard to find stuff I like in the practically bottomless sea of available tunes.
Thx in advance
