I not so politely ask the prick to look through my record box and I hand them the headphones.
Pricks.

I know one is by Knife Party, forgotten who did the other one though.

Just like with any other genre you need to ignore the mainstream pop shit and dig a little deeper.
You heard any Benga tracks? He's good. As is Martyn, he bridges the dubstep/techno crossover thing. Also check out Shackleton and Kode 9.

Although 'extreme' metal has the stupidest names of any of them.

My friend talks about Savant quite a bit, might have to give that a listen. Just a shame I've only got one system that can deliver half-decent bass, but I don't tend to use it much, as housemate below me hates it.

But I find it far too slow. It's alright for headphone listening (especially the more garagey stuff like Burial). It's way past its creative peak as well, people like Mt Kimbie, and to a lesser extent, James Blake, are doing some interesting stuff with the template.
It's pretty much done what Drum n Bass did back in the day- been assimilated into pop tracks and cheap & nasty Ministry of Sound compilations. Like I said, dig a bit deeper than Magnetic Man and Skrillex.
