Ok, so I am looking for some new music. I was wondering if you guys could recommend me something, but the problem is I'm really not sure what I'm looking for. I really like stuff like Deadmau5, MSTRKRFT, and a little Daft Punk.
I'm not sure what exactly this falls under, is it techno, house, electronica, dance? I have no idea what these distinctions even mean, so I sort of just label it "clubbin' music". Anything that sounds sort of techno-y but with a hard edge. The most important thing is a good beat. Lots of bass so I can shake the house when I turn it up.
Sorry if this sounds pretty vague, here are some examples to help!
A friend of my runs a casual blog where he posts electro and electropop music from youtube, you should check it out: http://electroawareness.blogspot.com//
Holy wow, Wolfgang Gartner rocks my world! Also, good call Beck. I'm adding a few of these more mellow tracks to my playlist to help balance things out.

And they may not count totally -- maybe they're lacking that edge (at least on youtube videos) -- but give Holy Fuck a shot. They're an electronic band that plays with a live drum and bass to go along with their keyboards and other gizmos. Cool stuff.

Definitely helped in absorbing specific artists.

Here's a fantastic example by Bit Shifter:
Hexadecimal Genome
I love this style of music because it is thumpity, extremely catchy, and tickles my soft spot for the consoles I grew up with.
Also came across Infected Mushroom by recommendation from a PAA guild mate:
Dancing With Kadafi

Try Boys Noize

If you want to move away from the more electronic side and into dance, LCD Soundsystem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2V_ZT-nyOs
and Emeralds

are really hot. It's good to have those hard, thumping tracks. But if you don't have anything to temper them with your mixtapes are going to suck.
Chemical.
Brothers.
that is all
I'll keep myself to posting songs with awesome videos for now. I may be back with more.

If you dig minimal house Isolée is a good bet:
