I know these 3 sets and I like them, especially the Umek one. You could also try to find sets by Thomas Schumacher (Live @ Hardware Universe) or Michel de Hey (his new Dance Valley mixalbum is very nice IMO). But if I were you I would start listening to tracks and not whole sets. Then it's easier to find out what kind of techno you really like. If you want me to post a list with tracks just ask.

I remember seeing Jeff Mills live. Now that boy's got the skills. As for Picotto, he's a great dj but he's only recently been playing techno. you might find a lot of his sets, especially anything from 2001 or before are more trancey than techy.
