I've been digging Shed's releases the last few years. Great old school-influenced techno with a modern twist. I wish I could follow him in his studio for a day, I got no idea how to get that wall of sound type of sound he has.

Vince Watson just recently put out an album of rare, deliciously melodic, soulful techno. He's a master of his game, and a proper composer, not just a class-act producer.
Kuniaki Takenaga has put out two albums of blistering industrial-ritual-battle-sci-fi-godknowswhat-techno that are fascinating.
Nova and Kindred both by Burial in the space of a couple of months... exceptional work, make it much easier to forget that bro-step even exists. His atmospheric garage-dub-step style is unique and compelling.
Shifted, Dettmann, ASC and Lucy are on a streak lately. Incredible sound design and raw energy though keeping the soul in music. Really worth checking out those guys and their work.
I:Cube is by far the biggest influence for me.
His new album's gonna be amazing.
Care to share some great stuff he's done? I always thought he was a bit average. A few good tracks, a few good remixes, but not a great amount of quality output.

Ame and Pepe Bradock are big favorites too.
these people make the most interesting house and techno stuff out there imo.
Pepe Bradock is great, agreed. Looking forward to his new album, already have the first EP from it.
Have Ame done anything worthwhile since Rej though? Looking at their discogs page, there's not much stuff of note in the last 5 years. Mifune and Nia are my favorites, but those were 8 years ago... oh, how the time flies.

Tough one. cant really name any good tunes by them, they're all GREAT (just as with ICube and Pepe)
Their latest big tune was Envision remix, it was almost as big as Rej. they can do very deep, or classic detroit technoy. you name it! their style progressed a lot since the those tunes...
check anything on innervisions records - its all very deep and very different sounding stuff..
edit: check out this mix by Gilb'r - its mostly unreleased I:Cube and Chateau Flight tunes.

I like Shed as Head High or WK (with another dude). 90s style.
the second (Blue) ep is top notch! Especially the Shed remix on the flip!
Yes!
Cristian Vogel's 'The Inertials' on Shitkatapult, out 8th June.
Got it in advance from here--->cristian vogel: The Inertials | PledgeMusic
...talk about Kyma-nerd! It is Bad-ass! Im hearing the ukBass influences creeping in..
Anybody and everybody under The Secret Agency booking agency... every single one of those guys make some timeless super ultra awesome deep deep true school music and rock hard! :D
you'd love I:Cube (especially the new stuff)
hes much like Datassette but much more "retro futuristic" (if that makes sense)
that's the thing, too retro and i stop listening. Datassette's more emotional early90s funky Rephlex-y, Warpy feely.
Will check I:Cube's new album though, thanks dood!

Now this!
i dont mean retro.
retro futuristic! thats something completly different!
much like Datassette's music but more complex (more layers and fxs etc)
this one's a perfect example:
the production on this tune is amazing btw. just check how it builds up, the melodies etc... crazy.
people like maceo plex, cats and dogs, soulclap etc. trying to make similar kinda sound, but they can't touch the frenchman!
