Yeah I reckon he must be talking about the acid techno crew... it's what I think of when someone says UK techno. But the days of it being a totally separate scene from the European techno scene are years gone; most of the time DJs will be playing stuff from both the UK labels and European ones. And while the UK labels do have a distinctive sound to them, it's not that dissimilar to the European sound nowadays either.

And anyway if you've got a scene where DJs know each other and help and collaborate of course they're going to play each other's stuff. I don't see why that's odd.
