Dubstep records with techno crossover potential...

First of all: Hi guys, I'm a newbie...Hope to have a nice time on this forum!

Second of all:

I'm searching for tracks with a tempo and rythm which makes it fun to mix with (minimal) techno. I'm new to the scene, so I only know the big names, and the ones I like the most are Mala and Shackleton. Most of the dubstep tracks sound awesome, but there are only a few who keep the driving tempo going, and that's something essential for a descent techno set. A perfect example of such a track is Mala - Left Leg Out.

Does anybody have some tips about tracks/producers/labels that can satisfy my thirst ;)?

Thanks in advance

Check Skream's Marc Ashken remixes and Appleblim's Vansan...
Many more but those are the two that come to mind right away

Also check out surgeon's tracklists in the last year. He loves to use Vex'd within his techno sets + Pinch's recent adventures into dubstep/techno for Mary Anne Hobb's BBC Radio 1 show.

Totally man. Try some of the Sleeparchive stuff too, like the Research EP.

I'd say Luke Envoy's Gamma intro & outro would mix well with Techno, and even though the remainder is quite heavy half-step it's still well syncopated.

Yeah, Villalobos, he's the best according to me. He's been playing some dubstep tracks lately too. Great thing the genres are finding a way leading to eachother!

Gotta agree with a lot of what ppl are saying here:

Mark Ashken – ‘Roots Died Dark’ (Skream mix) (Leftroom)
