I received an invite to play in a Techno line-up... The party will cover all Techno genres... I'm already building some mix possibilities in my head... But... The question is... If you had to introduce Dubstep to a Techno audience, which top 5 tunes you'll choose?

perhaps the more techy side of dubstep
pinch - qawwali seems to go down well
there's a mix in the music forum
http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5468
that has a blend of dubstep techno and house etc
worth checking out

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just play some good tunes.
A lot of techno is quite dubby (Basic Channel, Echocord, etc..spring to mind) and sub-bass driven (audio.nl stuff consists of almost nothing else but sub). Dubstep is not quite as alien to a techno crowd as you may think.
Anti War Dub is not a million miles away from Rhythm & Sound stuff - not strictly techno, granted.
A track on Burial's South London Boroughs EP (I think it's Nite Train) uses very similar sounds to Basic Channel's Octedre (BC07).

definately midnight request line.
it's already been dropped on a saturday at fabric. ricardo villalobos played it, and richie hawtin and magda were playing in the same room that night. the crowd loved it.
pinch - qawwali is another good one too.
also benga - star warz ?
and one by andy stott, forgot the name.. but being from a drum and bass and techno background, i'm sure the crowds will appreciate dubstep. as alot of the minimal techno is of a dubby, glitchy and techy nature these days.
i'll add more as and when i think of it..

HF001! Scuba - Motion...for those that remember...4/4 business.

oh and anything from monolake would go down a treat, i reckon monolake's stuff would work well with dubstep.

man havent listened to that for time!
*DeepThought rumages through his crates and puts the 12 on the plater*
yeah that would go down pretty frickin well!
(weirdly sounds like the slowed down vocal says 'DeepThought'.. probably says wanker tho! lol)
id suggest some of the rag n bone stuff esp warlock greyhound tracks, and nude - digitize on shelflife..

depends on what vibe you are playing with. if you are going with minimal techno, qawwali works a treat, as does most of shackleton's stuff.
if you are going for a harder techno vibe, honour kill/gamma are some good ones, as is most of the vex'd stuff. kode 9's 9 samurai works well mixed with some drummy, filtered techno as well...
damn would i love to be at this party you are playing at. techno mixed with dubstep makes me mighty happy...i haven't stopped injecting dubstep into my techno mixes since i started listening to it! it works SO well...

Well if you had the Mala/Coki 4/4 dubz I'd play those
But released stuff...the off-key stuff will work - Neverland, maybe the untitled track of skreamizm vol 1, Harpoon by Scuba...? Just rep the best the scene has to offer I think.
I'd stay off the aggy noisy material, you'll getter a better response from the more minimal stuff.

there is also quality 4x4 bassline shit to play in order to first introduce the type of bass and then more easy to come to dubstep
my 2 cents
