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.
Gauss
Model 500, Jeff Mills, Dopplereffekt...?
DJ RJT
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.
