new shit (dubstep / minimal techno / ... )

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.

My take on... (various mixes planned, updated when I can be arsed)

Drumcode rocks

Alchemy are ok also, as are Intec

UR, Cocoon, Kompakt, International Deejay Gigolos, Axis, PM, Minus.

sender
areal
minus
trapez
boxer sport
dahlback
Bpitch control

heroes

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.

Psy-T - Down The Rabbit Hole (400minute long acid set)

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
