Help me diversify

Hi all,
I've been browsing this forum for a long time, and have come to realize that the EDM genre can be rather daunting to learn and understand. I really love listening to trance and house, but have found myself in a rut... listeng to the same 8 or 9 artists over and over. I wanted to see if any of you have ideas on what may be similar to my taste. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Favorite tracks:
Tiesto:
- Airwave
- Anomaly (Calling Your Name)
- Battleship Grey
- Southern Sun (Tiesto mix)
- Like a Waterfall
- Do What U Want
- Just Be
- Beautiful Things
- Never
Armin van Buuren
- Rapture (AvB Mix)
Ferry Corsten
- Silence (ISOS Remix)
BT
- The Force of Gravity
Deepsky
- Ghost (Filo & Peri mix)
Jose Amnesia
- The Eternal (Nu NRG Remix)
Motorcycle
- As the Rush Comes (AvB Remix)
Perasma
- Swing 2 Harmony
Plummet
- Cherish the Day
Saltwater
- The Legacy (Alphazone Mix)
Thrillseekers
- By Your Side
- Synaesthesia

Those are a few on my fav's list that i listen to over and over and over.... Any suggestions on similar tracks?

Again, thanx for the help!

Why do you want more artists similar to those ones? Wouldn't you want to explore more sounds? You speak of EDM, not just trance no?

Also, you've got some mislabeled mp3's up there under Tiesto and others. Tiesto didn't actually producer all those you listed, he just played them a lot in the past. Ex: Rank 1 - Airwave, Andain - Beautiful Things, etc. Check www.discogs.com to find out the real artists of the track.

First, and most importantly, you need to learn that because a track is in a certain DJ's CD it doesn't mean it his own production.

For example, the only tracks actually produced by Tiesto (or under that name...) are Battleship Grey, Just Be, and Southern Sun (Tiesto Mix) the rest are on ly included on his compilations (ISOS, Nyana, etc.)

The track you have under Ferry Corsten is actually produced by Tiesto, the original track being Delerium's (Delerium - Silence (DJ TIesto's ISOS Mix).

Now, I can recommend some artists that may help you diversify:

Paul van Dyk
Eric Prydz
Steve Angello
Sebastian Ingrosso
Sander van Doorn
Ronald van Gelderen
Max Graham
Ozgur Can
Leama & Moor
Above & Beyond
16 Bit Lolitas
Sasha
John Digweed
Dogzilla
Sven Vath
Mauro Picotto

Thanks all for the suggestions and corrections. I was afraid I had several of them mis-labled (and was actually expecting to get seriously flamed for it) but, as I said in my original post, It's a lot to learn. Thank you for taking the time to explain it tho!

BTW, how do you guys suggest I catalogue my mp3's on my iPod/iTunes or whatever? If I went back and used Discogs to correct my mistakes, what is the most logical way to label them that won't make it impossible to find them again, yet have them somewhat accurately labled?
