yeah try putting another small hat pattern on top of your normal ones - just stick a few in and put a ping pong delay on em - add a wee bit of top end distortion and filter em right up so they are very very thin - then turn the vol up a bit so you can hear it again & maybe add a reverb lightly and that will open things up somwhat for you
Yeah

Um, I think I know what you mean, combine what jim said, with some interesting groove quantisation.

But basically, it`s techno, don`t look for rules. Muck about until something sounds good to you.
