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.

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."
Suburban Knight - The Art Of Stalking
The Martian - Sex In Zero Gravity
UR - Elimination
Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Hi-Tech Jazz (The Science)
Inner City - Praise (Mayday Mix)
DJ 3000 - Migration
Jeff Mills - Zenith
X-101 - Sonic Destroyer
Infiniti - Game One
3MB feat. Juan Atkins - Jazz Is The Teacher
Model 500 - Outer Space
Carl Craig - Mind Of A Machine
anything off The Birth Of Techno Soul by Eddie "Flashin" Fowlkes
Not from Detroit:
The Youngsters - How To Kill The Idiot
Spira - Horizon & Beyond
Electronic Resistance - Exposure
Djinxx - Black
Ian Pooley - Twin Gods EP
Vince Watson - Echelon
Wild Planet - 15 Love
Mathew Jonson - Gemini
Drexciya and Dopplereffekt are good shit, but not what he's asking for when looking at the artists listed in the first post.

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.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”
