New here, seeking advice.....

I've loved electronica in many forms for at least a few years, but due to my job and hobbies I rarely have time to delve deeply enough into the music styles I enjoy. I have a very basic, novice comprehension level of what Trance and House are, as well as a few of the more well known artists.

I'll get directly to the point: whilst I really do feverently adore electronica, I find that only around 10% or less of the songs I hear are in any way appealling to me. Maybe a few of you veterans, or anyone willing to, can help with a little musical advice here. I'm not assuming I have a right to instantly know what people have studied or searched for a while to find out, but any assistance is appreciated greatly.

Just for reference, here are a few of the songs I really love, not entirely sure how to categorise them at the moment:

Dance4Life - Tiesto feat. Maxi Jazz
Samurai - Creamteam
Any Given Day - Llyod
Adagio for Strings - Tiesto
The Future - Joop
Dreamer - Peaktwins
Frozen Memories - Phil Green & Shokk
I'm Not Fooled - John 00 Flemming
Connected - Matt Hardwick vs Smith & Pledger
Total Recall - Bas Van Veen
Falling - Nostrum & Frank Kuhne
Close to Crash - a300
Swing to Harmony - Perasma
Over the Moon - Dream Dance Alliance

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps, and if no one can or wants to, then I apolagize for wasting forum space and time.

P.S. Big friendly hello to all members.

first off welcome

okey so im not sure your going top accept advice from me, (im probably half the age you are) but the hurtful truth is that maybe you might be looking into the wrong places and its really hard to find good stuff like you posted (for the most part imo) today, especially if you are gl;ued to guys like tiesto and avb. a couple of months ago i used to be pretty much like you are now until i understood i can't just stick with trance or house or whatever. expanding your horizons is the best way to go. try to look for some good radio stations (di.fm) but dont look for house or trance radio stations. try to search for record lables concerning edm as a whole and you'll do fine. it takes all of us a little time

I always think of it as a j00f single, but yes of course, that's the correct name.

Thanks everyone for the advice, your suggestions were dead on.

Wotyzoid does make a very good point there, and I guess I need to really do a little more exploration of genres and styles I'm not familiar with to get a feel of whats available.
