Daft Punk and Ed Banger are the go-to sources of House music for people who are made uncomfortable with music that isn't rock. If you're a novice when it comes to electronic music they're a good place to start. They are also fun at parties, but tonally they are quite different from most House types.
For classic Chicago house,
DJ International has a pretty good archive. Look up:
Fast Eddie.
For more current House music,
Bpitch Control has the market more or less cornered on notable tech house and microhouse. Look up:
Ellen Allien, various Bpitch Control compilations.
In terms of House / Dubstep, the latter is becoming increasingly the former even without UK Funky and the various UK Garage permutations that orbit the scene. There are numerous House-centric labels -
Numbers,
Ramp,
PTN,
Ten Thousand Yen, etc. Look up:
Breach,
Julio Bashmore,
xxxy.
For deeper house, I tend towards
Soma, mainly because of The Black Dog, who I've been a fan of for forever (and even though they're more Techno than House). Look up their compilations.
For Disco-oriented House, LCD Soundsystem gets all the attention but the rest of the
DFA catalog is reliably good lo-fi Disco and Acid House. Look up:
Black Meteoric Star, James Murphy and the other guy's Fabriclive mix, the DFA comps.
There's also
Rush Hour, which is a legendary House-oriented record store and their label runs the gamut from newer House to remasters via their 100% excellent Voyage Direct series, to Anthony "Shake" Shakir reissues, on and on and on. Look up:
Voyage Direct series.
If you look through the dozens of releases I put up in the M / F thread every week there are bound to be a few House ones.
There's probably more that I'm not remembering.
