Detroit Techno

Always been a fan of this sound, but just learning more about it now, would love to know some more names of artists etc. This may be falling on deaf ears, but I KNOW some of you rock out to this sort of ish.

It doesn't necessarily have to be "from the time", just anything good with that Detroit Techno vibe/funkiness. Some of the artists who have been rocking me out good:

Dave Angel
Dark Science
(some of) Alexander Kowalki

I am a Detroit Techno n00b, so help me out!

Drexciya are often highly rated. A little bit different than typical Detroit stuff though.

Model 500, Jeff Mills, Dopplereffekt...?

Posted by RJT on Sep-30-2006 17:31:

Mathias Mathew aka Quadlow
Kevin Saunderson
Dabura
Anthony Atalla (Sort of)

Michael Mayer and Matthew Jonson also sometimes play what I think you could call "Detroit Techno," but those 4 I listed are all Detroit locals - If you want any of their work and can't find it, please let me know.

Detroit Techno in a lot of ways is just "Tech House."

Edit: Also, any of the Paxahau residents

Yeah, a lot of it is "tech house" and I'm sure I have a lot more stuff that may be considered as detroit techno- I just like that sort of funky, but techy vibe... I don't what it is- thanks for the reccomendations

I really like Detroit Techno; I wish I knew more about it than I do, but that's tough when there's so much distance from its heyday.

Carl Craig (mentioned...)
Craig Richards (former fabric resident-)

Yeah i know, what is Detroit Techno? It's a term commonly misused, like "minimal".
