Just discovered the delightfully named OOFT! who, amongst other things, does a fine line in lush mellow Detroit-flavoured techno. It reminded me how much I love this kind of stuff and yet how little of it I know:
This is perfect end of night / after-party fare: really deep and warm but still with a nice groove to keep your juices flowing. Can anyone point me in the direction of other artists? Preferably available on formats other than exclusively vinyl.
Another good one from a few years back:

Those aren't acid tracks. If you are looking for some mellow, deep acid techno, these would probably fit the bill:
One of my favs, a somewhat underlooked classic - perfect to end the night with:
A bit darker, might not be up your alley:
You're probably already familiar with the classics, Random XS - Give Your Body and Air Liquide - Liquid Air, which would also fit the bill.

Agreed that the opening tracks aren't acid. Though the first arguably uses the synth's filter in a somewhat "acidish" way, it has to at least be a monosynth, if not an actual 303, to count as "acid," right?
:toothless
I did enjoy the tracks posted so far, at any rate.

These also, of course:

Pretty much. The only real monosynths (aside from 303 clones) that are able to do that, afaik, are an MC-202, an SH-101, and possibly the Novation Basstation. They can sound acidic, but most others don't, to begin with.

You're right actually - neither of the first two actually have 303-esque sounds in them. I was listening to quite a few tracks last night in this mellow, squelchy Detroit style and picked these two out as my faves without bothering to re-listen before I typed out the thread.
I will amend the word acid to "squelchy" to broaden the criteria suitably. Acid is welcomed, but not essential.

Obvious one.
Donato Dozzy is a goldmine for this kinda stuff.

I'd take 75 for it. If you want it PM me I'll take it down so I dont get owned on the discogs fee.

Some decent efforts in this thread, not enough Detroit for me though.
Another winner for dinner, one of my very favourite techno tracks:

Great track obviously, but I wouldn't have thought of it as 'squelchy'. You should rename this thread to 'deep mellow techno tracks that have resonance' :p
This one is a bit electro-ish but I think in the right direction?
This one even has acid.
No idea if this is squelchy enough, but i'll take the excuse to post one of my alltime detroit favorites :p
This one has squelchy vocals for a change.
Eduardo De La Calle probably has enough tracks in this style to supply you for the next three years.
