I normally listen to Deadmau5 with a little Tiesto or Daft Punk thrown into the mix. I am looking for recommendations on other artists or songs worth listening to.

Thanks for looking.

Enlarged Dick Music is a sub genre that I need to explore, but it is growing on me.

@JoeAwesome - I am listening to Justice now and they are pretty cool. I liked Genesis in particular.

In general if you can find artists you like, look up what record label(s) they are on, and check out other artists on those labels. If you like house music check out pretty much anything on dirtybird records. I could go on for days naming artists but the adventure is in finding what you like.

I'm a massive EDM fan, it's a huge and very diverse genre of music, personally out of the 3 you've mentioned, i like deadmau5, indifferent to tiesto and hate daft punk lol.
My recommendations, chemical brothers, fatboy slim, prodigy, underworld, juno reactor, the orb, faithless, massive attack, depeche mode, chicane, aphex twin, goldfrapp.
Two of my favourites.

Ya if you're just getting into electronic music, definitely listen to everything and you'll begin to find out what you do and don't like. Find a genre and you dig then find artists within it. You'll likely gravitate towards one over time. Anyways if you look over to the BBC radio shows, they have great hosts and weekly shows that always play banging new beats. In all kinds of genres. Best of all no commercials! A bit of talking but hey that's radio.

If you down to check out some dnb, look up Friction on BBC1, otherwise Pete Tong's Essential Mix is also good, it's a new DJ with a new mix every week!

I have never really thought of Depeche Mode as EDM, but I can see them being included. My best friend listened to them all through high school.

I dunno if falls into this category of music, but when I'm working on projects I like to listen to Lost years or Mitch Murder, makes me feel like McGuyver...

Most definately included under EDM black ice, it's a massive genre, being a metal head i kinda lean towards the stuff with a harder edge, you can't beat a bangin rave tune.
Best depeche mode song, behind the wheel/route 66.

If you like Depechemode and metal then perhaps you should heck out Paradise Lost. They experimented with electronic music during a few albums, specifically One Second, Believe in Nothing and Host.


They started out as Doom and turned towards Gothic music along the way but somewhere in between they experimented heavily with different styles, lately they've been mixing it up with their earlier Doomy efforts.

Yeah close to trance/ambient, lot's of good chill out tunes under the EDM banner.

I'm just gonna say listen to the live stream of this station http://www.c895.org/

It's a Seattle area EDM radio station that's been around for a long ass time (46 years) and is fairly well known. I'm sure you'll find something there to your liking.
