If anyone is lucky enough to be able to reach a techno night at Great Suffolk Street Warehouse do it! I Went for a Drumcode event, one of the best nights I've been to, that venue is dark!
Been getting really into Robert Hood/Floorplan, Vril, Peter Van Hoesen etc... Anyone got some more like this, with good atmospheric synths, stabs that would make me shit myself etc ?

I went to a techno gig on the weekend - Marcel Dettman, Speedy J and Sandwell District. I haven't really been to a techno dance for ages and wondered if I would enjoy it. I pretty much did, just... it doesn't change much, does it? The builds and drops are all pretty similar. I still love the amazing tonal things going on in good techno, but I find it hard to dance to hour after hour of it.
I found it pretty funny comparing how dubstep drops involve a lot of bass, and techno drops involve a lot of hihats.
I have a decent amount of techno mixes that range from the beginnings to the present, but I still haven't fully grasped techno, it's one of the only electronic genres I haven't fully got my head around.
Anyone up for giving me a top 10 techno albums list?

Check DVS1. This guy for some reason hooks me onto his groove so easily, same feeling as with Shed, Rob Hood etc. A few suggestions.
And my personal fave...
strictly vinyl. strictly rotary. strictly old men with beards.

Yeah I get what you mean, for me techno is a residual category, anything I can't really relate to any other genre I label as techno.

Tea and techno blog, I think. But as I said before, I wouldn't look for albums that much, there's big techno
producers who couldn't care less about composing an album. Mixes + tracklists will get you on your way.

Mayday is not really anymore interesting. Clearly an expiring musical product. Crap sets by most of all djs
2012-04-30 - Mayday 2012 - 01 - Motor -Live- (CLR, Novamute) @ Made in Germany, Westfalenhallen - Dortmund “Man Made Machine” is the fact that it is going to be released on a new sub-division of Chris Liebing´s CLR (Create Learn Realize) label, one of the leading German techno imprints. The branch is called CLRX and is out to explore new sonic universes of a musically more complex, song-structured nature. The founding of CLRX shall help people to distinguish easily between the classic CLR sound and the slightly different one of this new venture. Bryan Black just released his first, tremendously successful and critically acclaimed solo EP (Black Asteroid - Engine 1) on CLR. After working together so successfully on this project, the label and artist started talking about also working together on the release of the new MOTOR album and finally came to the conclusion to go for it. Chris Liebing had always been inspired by the “out of the ordinary” techno approach of MOTOR and shares many of the same influences.
2012-04-30 - Mayday 2012 - 02 - Members of Mayday -Live- @ Made in Germany, Westfalenhallen - Dortmund Members of Mayday is a music project by Klaus Jankuhn and Maximilian Lenz (better known by his stage name "Westbam"). Every year since 1991 the Members of Mayday create the official hymn of the annual Mayday Rave that takes place from April 30 to May 1 at Westfalenhallen in Dortmund. It is Germany’s largest indoor rave.

I understand what youre saying, but i find techno to be a pretty vast genre with alot left to explore. Some of the best sets ive heard are people who mix it up with highs and lows from to melodic to dub to dark. Sigha's discography is a perfect example of this, one of the best shows ive seen in a long time with his track selection alone.
