LIST your ideal reference tracks

[Nomak]

What are the reasons for not using techno for referencing, if you are producing techno?

I had never actually considered referencing at all as I have not long started learning really, but it seems like a good idea and I am interested to know the thought process behind it.

Thanks

As a whole, techno production is mediocre at best, when compared to the whole field of musical production engineering.
I always think if you listen to, take example from, and aspire to the highest level of production possible, this can only be healthy and inspiring.
Why aspire to mediocrity?

I try to listen to as wide a field of reputed productions as possible, to get a good idea of overall sound treatment techniques.
