asm: i like four tet too but won't say i'm a fan... i'm a little bit too slutty in my musical tastes to be a fan of anyone :P
techno could be quite a large umbrella i'd file aphex / squarepusher under "IDM"
techno for me is more like 4/4 beats. one of the definitive labels would be tresor. a bit more up to date stuff would be tech house stuff like booka shade. i heard the trapeze label is well worth checking out too.
whilst venetian snares is great i'm personally not a big fan of them. i prefer stuff to be a bit more fun and witty like kid606... for pure amen mashing fun i would say it's hard to beat soundmurderer. i really dig his twisted ragga jungle!
for pure beat madness and boundary pushing beat programming/sampling autechre is quite no match for anyone. this masterpiece from 2002 has yet to be beaten!
