Techno record labels

What are some really good techno record labels you guys know of? Only one I can think of off the top of my head (and this is at 2:30 a.m. my time, mind you) is Drumcode and Code Red.

Blegh. Intec

I'll go for:

Blueprint (Ruskin's label)
Coda (sublabel of Blueprint)
Light & Dark (Oliver Ho)

Little less known:

Manuke
Mainout
Wolfskuil (excellent Holland based label with a variety of tracks)

And when you're more into the melodic minimal side of things, be sure to check out Treibstoff.

here are some you probly will like:

NSC Records
430 West
Underground Resistance
Red Planet
Primate Recordings
Transmat
STX Records
Design Music
unGleich
Axis
Sino
Keynote
Svek
Communique Records
EC Records
Parasound
Equator
M-Plant

Intec is overrated. Treibstoff is mostly minimal and tech-house, though very good. And the best ones mentioned so far are Tortured, Music Man, Downwards, Soma, Tresor, NovaMute, Synewave, and Treibstoff. I can list at least 50 more labels to you but i doubt you'd like them according to the ones you posted, and the fact that it's mostly older acidic stuff.

Which of these labels come out with releases that are the style of techno that DJs like Adam Beyer, Dave Clarke, Christian Varela, etc. would play? That's the stuff I'm looking for.

Those three play quite differently in themselves

But Beyer has releases on Truesoul and Illgorhythm. CLR (Liebing's label) would appeal to you too, I think. So would Zenit and Mankind. Try them

id say adam beyer gets a lot of stuff from the labels i suggested.
dave clarke on the other hand is a real digger
and i havent heard a varela set in a while, so cant say bout him
