Great compilation
I think people who like electro can like this one. I play that one a lot in 1998… I take it out from my collection from time to time to play it again… it cool to begin a dj techno set. unconventionally 
or like I done recently here :
interesting to see so many link drexciya with electro
always thought of their catalogue as techno
i understand the fluidity of all these terms but that’s the most unexpected thing in the thread

I thought drexciya have always been known as more electro than techno to be honest, and Juan Atkins I’ve also felt is more electro even though he is hailed as the originator of techno, his early tracks are definitely in the electro mould
If you want to post a few more here or DM them to me that’d be great. Even just a few labels to check out. Whatever is convenient.
And numbers from kraftwerk came before all of these
that kinda adds to my intrigue
seems like at least for detroit producers like atkins, “techno” can be a broader term than elsewhere
the artists themselves might refer to tracks as techno if it fits their futurist philosophies and intention for advancing such thought (even when we squeeze em into a narrower scope)
Some of my more modern favourites…
Radioactive Man’s Asking For Trouble label is great:
Ara U on Releases — NO STATIC / AUTOMATIC
CPU Records have already been mentioned.
Bass Agenda mentioned too:

This blew me away as a mtv-kid. Some months later I walked by chance into an exhibition from the pneumatic robot artist ( jim whiting, just looked up) in an old train wagon. Scared to death but impressed…

Love to see the electro love here. I saw Urban Tribe at a Metroplex party once in Detroit. It was great.

AFAIK electro initially was a prefix to funk as in electro funk. Afrika Bambaataa etc. That included breakbeats. (= Non 4-to-the-floor).
Hence “Electro/Elektro” as a subgenre of electronic music to “us” (local group of techno people - later diverted to jungle/techno/whatever) was 808 or 606 bases music with breakbeat patterns, mostly with heavy elektro-snares.
Modern example: Anthony Rother:
