Well, I can encourage you to listen to the releases on Artillery, those are considered top notch.

Jeff Amadues is considered "Schranz" by some "Hardtechno by others like me. Definitely someone to check out. ViperXXL makes some nice tunes, Waldhaus and Weichentechnikk are mad, Wittekind is always reliable, as are Boris S and Felix Kröcher.

What to stay away of: 80s Bootlegs and overly monotonous stuff with no idea or feeling to it.
