2008 Compilation of earlier releases: Some of the most "important" tracks of the techno world.
Basic ChannelQ1.1
Basic Channel, 1993.
A personal favorite. One of the punchier, "floor-focused" releases, but not aggressive.

MaurizioPloy
Their first release. More "proto" dub techno. Also includes an Underground Resistance remix, a Detroit Techno classic.
MaurizioDomina
Both sides are all-time classics. Maurizio Mix is dubbier, Carl Craig Remix is very Detroit.
MaurizioM-Series (M-4, M-4.5, M-5, M-6, M-7).
the later Maurizio releases. Sparse and spacier stuff that hadthe blueprints for both the hazier, contemplative vibe that the genre is typically associated with and the "minimal" stuff of the late 90s/00s. The "M-Series" compilation is a collection of edits of the original releases.

Robert Henke is another master/hugely influential artist. An engineer at Dubplates & Mastering who went on to be one of the co-founders of Ableton. Worth exploring his catalog (later releases are more IDM/experimental/whatever stuff). "Occam" is such a good groove.
Vladislav DelayMultila
More abstract/experimental/ambient, has released several other classic albums. Was also one of the main Mille Plateaux artists of the clicks&cuts era

Federsen is another prolific artist worth checking out
MokiraAxis audio (echospace model I)
The whole "time axis manipulation" series is good, the silent servant mix is great. is more dubbed out ambient stuff than techno
SoultekParadigm
●![Conforce — Machine Conspiracy sleeve]()
ConforceMachine Conspiracy
Probably the most well-known release on the label Meanwhile, which was a good dub techno label of the late 2000s - early 2010s. On the whole, I'd call Conforce's stuff Detroit-style techno, but this is his most dub-focused (and best imo)
Luke HessEP01
Detroit guy - nothing groundbreaking, just solid dubbed-out stuff. love Reel to Real, perfect opener track
Luke HessDubout #2
●![Luke Hess — Believe & Receive sleeve]()
Luke HessBelieve & Receive
Shed remix is so good
●![Quantec — Deep in Mind sleeve]()
QuantecDeep in Mind
Straightforward dub techno from label called Echocord, one of the main dub techno labels of the 2010s.

YagyaSleepygirls
Yagya goes closer to ambient, chill-out vibes - albums are treated more as continuous mixes than individual tracks. This is my favorite album of his, a little more house-focused.

Silent Season, 2013
Silent Season is this Victoria, BC-based label that releases mix of ambient, dub/deep techno. "Music for the rainforests of Vancouver Island" or something

Vladislav DelayRecovery IDea (The Mike Huckaby S Y N T H Remix)
Semantica Records, 2009
Mike Huckaby was a master, one of the later-generation Detroit artists. Probably the most outright dubby of the Detroit artists, but passed away a few years ago. He's held in high esteem by this crowd: Steven Hitchell of Echospace put out a commemorative release, "cv313 plays Mike Huckaby - Our Life with the Wave", with Federsen recently.
