So give us examples of artists, EPs, etc. that you believe are "real techno." I'm just curious to see what your definition is.

I think Germany's gone a bit overboard with the minimal/electro thing...but I'd say a lot of the people on that poll deserve it. I've seen most of those producers/acts play and a lot of them have played some tracks in their sets that are the most futuristic techno stuff I've heard in a long time, and that's coming from even the most cliché minimal DJs on that list.
