It used to go under the 'downtempo' blanket, but some have applied that nomenclature to the Morr styled stuff. I never understood why. IMHO you'd be safe in the downtempo/lounge department.
Look into the Ninja Tune label, the 18th Street Lounge label for some catch-up.
Bands like Thievery Corp, Nightmares on Wax, maybe the new Radiq (Yoshihiro Hanno), Jazzanova, probably anything on the Compost label or anything Rainer Truby does. You might also like the Nuphonic label. Don't forget Luke Vibert as himself or Wagon Christ (Plug for the DnB stuff).
There are a zillion spokes to this wheel - for instance, broken beat, future jazz, nu-jazz - most of Ian O'Brien's output, anything Kirk DeGiorgio has done in the past few years, Dego,4 Hero, Marc Mac,...and we've just wandered into some of the old drum-n-bass turf (which does overlap into IDM when it gets extreme and goes to drill-n-bass), which you might also enjoy. Your mention of Diplo also opens a whole Spank Rock and Brazil-meets-Boston avenue.
This could go on for ages and people will argue over what is/is not idm.
If you like Dmitiri, my guess is that you could spend a year wallowing in Acid Jazz or its offshoots. DJ Krush? Kruder & Dorfmeister would be essential and any of their side projects as well - Peace Orchestra for one. Okay. I'll stop now by saying almost ALL of what I have mentioned above is older material with the exception of Radiq and the new Nightmares on Wax. Ninja Tune is still alive and well - there's a new Coldcut out, in fact (Sound Mirrors).
