I know threads like these appear often but I'm looking for a specific type of techno right now. Tribal and hypnotic.
Like:
Laurent Garnier-Dangerous Drive
Jeff Mills-Alarms
All Surgeon
All British Murder Boys
And this Autechre minimix was the exact type of techno I was looking for.
Thanks in advance.

I'm actually always looking for tracks of this nature, so I'd be interested in seeing what people recommend as well.

So what is the proper name of this sub-genre? Tribal techno?

Beatport breaks their Techno section into 5 different sub-genres. I've actually been checking out a lot of the "melodic" techno they have for my next mix. But there's other ones, so you should check that out and see if any one of the 5 is the kind you're looking for.

Levels is...decent...damn better than a lot of the shite dominating the charts at the moment. It sounds absolutely nothing like...a billion and one similar tracks in this big-room style. I always had a soft spot.

Oh yeah... fuck I always forget Beatport has those little sorting options.
"Hypnotic" is kinda redundant tag, isn't it? I guess (judging by these sample and examples) you're looking for darker, moodier and almost industrial techno. Basically you want UK techno, more precisely so-called Birmingham techno. For a start get this awesome Surgeon mix:
Awesome. Thanks to everyone for the help! I forgot about Beatport's mini subgenre search. Definitely look through there.

That Surgeon mix is exactly what I'm looking for. I know hypnotic is pretty redundant but this is the only techno that gives me that feeling. Industrial techno is definitely what I'm looking for though.

That surgeon mix is fucking massive. I'm not too crazy about this sound but I can dig it every now and then.
Holy shit, this is massive.
Especially the second half.
I have so much on my mind listening to it right now, but I can't find the word.
