I think the people really doing good inventive techno are often the lesser known new acts (Rather than the established names), who havn't just pumped one record out after another to a set formulae, producers like Birkin, Sebastian Prelar, Edit, Quick and Smart and DJ Mahatma.

Myself, I feel my own releases had a certain energy for the first few (Esp. Djax 337) which I don't have so much now, which I think was caused by basically 4 years frustration of not having a studio to use, and the total release when I finally started seriously doing stuff, and I find this with a lot of artist, the first few releases might not have the high production values, but for raw energy, ideas and a certain almost naive feeling (in a good way) which makes it slamming. maybe it's because you havn't been tarnished by being in a studio every day for 3 or so years, and are still really enthusiastic and excited about the possibilities of where it could take you..
