Belive it or not there is good American Dubstep

Happy New Year all. I live in the states and after reading some threads (particularly about Skrillex)there are some negative comments floating around that there is no good American dubstep or that we've ruined dubstep because of Skrillex. Granted, Skrillex's sound is not my cup of tea but I do have respect for him in the sense that he's doing what he loves to do. There's no denying that the lot of you would love to be at his status right now - playing to thousands of people, traveling all over the world playing the music you love, and getting paid to do it. These conditions may not apply to all of you but I'm sure most of you would not turn down the opportunity.
In my opinion, UK dubstep is where it's at but there are amazing dubstep producers from all over the world pushing the sound that they believe in and the close mindedness from those of you that say America is shit for dubstep - is naive on so many levels. So I am creating a list of American producers to open your tiny little minds to the fact that there is amazing dubstep coming out of the States (whether you accept it or not). Please add on any American dubstep artists that I may not have mentioned.

Korn are good too!
But honestly downlink is a guilty pleasure of mine, ithink he has the right idea, it's almost musical.
I think you'll find in general nobody on the forum who dislikes skrillex wants to be him, his fame would be desirable, but look at his fanbase, dont think many of them are paying for his music, the majority of them are wanly trolls who live on world of Warcraft, or hipster who would much rather spend there pockets on looking like the man..
Plus, I couldnt live with myself knowing I've caused so much disturbance to a genre of music, whether intentional or not..

Martyn isn't even an American to begin with, he's Dutch as the person above me already said. He just lives in Washington.
And of course there are good American Dubstep producers, but we all know what some other American producers did to the sound.
