There is a 1.5 though; an in between in terms of audience and material.
I now buy 100% of 4/4 IDM tracks of diverse artists, cause:
1) It beatmatches well.
2) It makes perfect head nodding fodder when im home minding my
business.
3) Say you spin right after a generic House or Techno type, The
average punter will _continue_ to dance, even though he might go:
"there is something not quite right about all this".
4) And yes some chicks dig it.
List of IDM artists/labels that beatmatches fairly well:
Mostly all german minimal by the likes of Mike Ink and Brinkmann.
Nearly everything on Profan,Auftrieb,Kompakt,Freiland,MaxErnst
and Chain Reaction.
Folks like Grain, Rapaccioli, Monolake and even Pan_sonic:
especially on Mika's Tekonivel Moniker (my all time favorite)
You can easily find IDM tracks that could bring a House or Trance fan
to get interested in a more <i>intelligent</i> type of music.
For a House guy: you could give him anything on Kompakt, which is _very_
borderline, or similarily, one would recommend
"Auftrieb09 - Loikum1" to _any_ acid lover.
And yes you can D on Autechre!
-remix: V/A's 8 on FATCAT
-remix: Mark Broom - Angie is a choplifter
(BTW If anyone has a copy to spare of that one I would pay nice$$
Some guy on this list doesnt want to get rid of his :)
All these are genuine IDM material, and shoulnt be snobed by anyone as
just being dummy 4 to the floor.

Don't fall into despair!
There is something to do but don't go all the way too fast!
Remember, many IDM tracks you like were built slowly inside you,
so think about people who never were exposed to that kind of music
before.
