Thermionic, I know what you're saying! What "techno" means to me in one of the main things that makes me feel old, actually. Almost no one under 25, 30 understands what it originally was about - even that it was created (and the term coined from the Alvin Toffler "Techno Rebels" book) by African-Americans from Motown!
OK, sorry for the thread hijack! Don Grossinger is another ME to consider, I know he cut lots of club records including Salsoul Classics reissues. He may be getting used to lacquer - he used to do DMM at Europadisk in NYC. Also Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin is loved by many (probably cheaper if you're in the US than going via the Exchange, but a very different sound). A trip to a local vinyl store is illuminating - check the runout grooves for "signatures" and then listen. Nilz signs his recs "Nilz @ Exchange", "D&M" for Dubplates, "NSC" for Sound Enterprises (used to be National Sound Corp, they still use that), etc.
