Above and Beyond, Odesza, Axwell, Steve Roach (if ambient is your thing), Kaskade, Daft Punk, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten. By the way, by "non-repetitive" I don't mean no repetition at all, but that there is movement in the music. It may carry the same theme and beat, but it's evolving and going somewhere, and not just the same exact bar repeated 15 times in a row.

  Good recommendations and I'd add an additional upvote for Above and Beyond. I feel like it's a good entrance into EDM.

These artists have been highly influential back in the day (and still are), and covered/defined a wide spectrum of electronic music: * Tangerine Dream * Jean-Michel Jarre * Kraftwerk * Vangelis * Klaus Schulze Start there, explore. The Last.FM "similar to Jarre" page has a ton of great music and directions[1]. One-off recommendation: Tomáš Dvořák aka Floex. He wrote the Machinarium soundtrack, which is one of my most favorite electronic music albums of all time[2]. One sub-genre of electronic music that I've been enjoying lately is the growing synthwave (retrowave, chillwave, outrun, etc - they are not that different) scene, with artists like Timecop 1983, FM 84, Kavinsky, Miami Nights 1984, Mitch Murder, Le Matos, Dance with the Dead, Carpenter Brut, Gunship, Magic Sword, Power Glove, etc. [1]https://www.last.fm/music/Jean+Michel+Jarre https://www.last.fm/music/Jean+Michel+Jarre [2]https://innerfx.bandcamp.com/album/machinarium-soundtrack https://innerfx.bandcamp.com/album/machinarium-soundtrack
