Ok i know it's early days and all but what or who has really hit you so far this year in techno? any highlight record wise or producers that have stood out?

Can't think of *loads* myself, however there's been tonnes of good records to have kept me satisfied...

To throw around a few names and labels etc...

Patrik Skoog
Diego
DJ Nephets
Livewire
Emergence
The last few Kne'deeps
LFO "Freak"
Chris McCormack "Erase Techno"
British Murder Boys "Learn your lesson"
House of Fix featuring Circa on Tresor

Sure there's more, but these are some that spring to mind quick enough...
