So if anyone has any recommendations that would be cool.  |
1st, you have to know how to classify what it is that you're looking for.

Benny Bennassi is kinda what I'd define as "Electro House" (
www.beatport.com has a good selection)

Astral Projection is like "Psy Trance of the 90's" Good classic stuff, the newer stuff is mostly coming out on the J00F (or JOOF) Label (Run by world famous DJ John "00" Fleming)

Pete Tong is a Radio DJ, you essentiall referred him to another guy who refers music to people for a living, lol.
not a bad direction but he's not really what I'd call a prevelent artist. He just graces people with a thumbs up and they become successful in the EDM world. He's like that.
