Nobody mentioned Ben Sims? :spangled:
Adam Beyer
Christian Smith
Richie Hawtin
John Selway
DJ Rush
Ricardo Villalobos
DJ Rolando
Derrick May
Billy Nasty
Oliver Ho
Justin Berkovi

Daly and Hairy will know a shitload more, that's just off the top of my head.

Compilation-wise, check out some of the Essential Underground CDs. The Ben Sims/Christian Smith one is a corker

Good CDs to buy that are pretty recent:

Carl Cox - Pure Intec is only about £6 at the minute and is pretty easy going

Laurent Garnier - Excess Luggage - 5x CD- it's not all techno but it's a class compilation- pretty accessible too as it mixes a lot of styles from hip hop right through to some harder stuff (not a lot tho)

Adam Beyer double mix cd- Essential Underground volume 9 - Stockholm- the mixing's wicked on this

Primate Recordings Presents Endangered Mixes Volume 3: A Continuous Primate Experience

Christian Varela - More favourite tools

160 Minutes of marco bailey

Dave Clarke live

Others worth listening to are Richie Hawtin - dex EFX and a 909, Richie Hawtin- DE9 closer to the edit, Dave Clarke - World Service

If you go to www.livesets.com, there's loads of techno livesets to download including sets by carl cox/surgeon/Danilo Vigorito/Hawtin/Garnier/Ben Sims which are all def worth a listen.
There's some decent old school detroit stuff on there too if you look around a bit

seen the Surgeon Midnight Club Track

Some good CD's to buy:

Valentino Kanzyani Rock the Discotheque 2
Mauro Picotto & Riccardo Ferri Meganite CD
Carl Cox Pure Intec
Any of the Cocoon CD's

And livesets by anyone named!

I have bought two cocoon CD's from Ibiza

Love that club

The Billy Nasty Torture Chamber is also mint.

Timewarp isn't as good as TC3 by Umek

All very good cds - Beyer one probably my pick - Anything by Beyer is usually very good if you like that sort of techno.

Plus

Ryan Blackman - 90 - 99 techno set (from www.lockedgrooves.org website) - very good mix!! - shame no-one turned up when he played!!

Marco Nastic - Recyclopedia Electronica - Recycled loops - nice accesible techno from Umek and Valentino's label

Got a good Paul Damage Mix from House of God in Birmingham.

Ian Void - This is the Colour We Are - Geusky - Old one but it's a class little mix - unfortunatley haven't heard anything from them for a bit - hope they're still about though.

Umek - Torutre Chambers - Tortured - Another old one but one of Umek's better moments from recent years.

Billy Nasty one's really good too.

Trust the DJ mix series
Great mix series, mixed by the top DJs from each genre (mainly techno/tech-house), some really good ones in there, everyone from Coxy, Dave Angel, Chris Liberator etc, all doing a few cds over a range of styles.

People to try and get music from:

Justin Berkovi - all his sets are 100% live - he has never DJ'd and ONLY plays his own material live. Which in my view make them all the more special - one of the best people ever to play at Freaky Dancing so far.

Space DJz - Not too easy listening but if you get them both playing at the same time on 4 decks with two mixers (which they hardly ever do anymore) then they are somehting else.

DJ Preach - Been slowly notching up the releases over the past year - expect to hear more from him next year.

Hertz - Got a live show he does which I'm really hoping to catch next year - his tunes are shit hot, and I reckon his live show would be just as impressive - much better than seeing him DJ anyway.

Vince Watson - Seen him a few times now - properly rocked the tanners a few years back on me birthday - he's got a live show now which he's pushing and I wouldn't mind seeing that too.

Martyn Hare - Again it's not that easy listening - but his tunes are class - proper electronic, analogue-sounding techno - definately one to watch - haven't had chance to catch him yet though.

Surgeon - Doing all his sets off laptop now - proper twisted techno - not sure if it's still up but there was a mix on www.littledetroit.net by him.

techno

I was mainly in to trance and also the harder stuff but i was intruduced to some belting techno by the guys at kinetic records formely banging tunes.com (london) and now im a techno junkie

try tunes produced by

Guy Mcaffer on the raw lablel
or frank kvitta on combat skill/carnage records

frank kvitta is something what amaizing
try and get your self a listen to natural spirit on the combat skill lable or party stecher on carnage records would love to here these tunes played in foundation even though id probably piss myself with the excitment of it all.

:spangled:

Guy Mcaffer is fucking gash i reckon like.

techno's a funny music genre..

I have a couple of the RAW records but never play them. It's bordering on a techno-hardhouse sound I think...
