Melodic stuff gets my ass shakin’ - gotta have a groove and a hook, back in the day before all this splitting everything into highly specialised genres it was all just house/techno, you’d have something fairly melodic like a Juan Atkins track, followed by say Acid Trax, it worked.
I can think of nothing more boring than back to back bangers, gotta have contrast, IMHO.
Here are some arbitrary rules to try:
Try lowering your BPM a bunch, like 115-120 range.
Maybe start with melodies or chords. Only let yourself use the most basic drums until the end of the song. Like a kick only and maybe a clap instead of a snare. Try to make the song good without drums.
Keep a reference track loaded near by that isn’t techno. Listen to it every so often to make sure you aren’t going down the techno road today.
Here are some arbitrary rules to try:
No more saw waveforms for you. Also your filters are not allowed to open all the way up. Nor can your resonance go higher than 1/4 of a turn.
Put some bass notes on the same beat as the kick. No more than 1-2 bass notes between your kicks.
just avoid 4 to the floor?
or if you can’t help yourself, and always produce techno, make it 3/4 or 5/4 tech. 
A lot of modern DJ sets have tracks that are so same-ish it gets a little boring sometimes. Everything has split into these micro micro genres almost. I’d rather listen to a set where the mixing is a maybe a little loose but there is some variety in the sounds.
You just a techno head! Deal with it.
Stop yer whining. Half of my stuff sounds like Disco. And that’s when I’m trying to make dark minimal synth ffs.
What’s wrong with techno? I’ve been listening to more of it (or whatever you call what Helena Hauff plays) than ever, and I’d be thrilled to make anything in spitting distance of that.
My issue is I hit that wall and nothing I make I like. Keep creating and let it flow. Otherwise, try what most of us do and put the gear away for a few days. Also, I listen to things I don’t typically listen to regularly to get the juice flowing again. Except maybe do the opposite? Listen to only techno and maybe you’ll only spit out ambient stuffs? 
I think I know what you mean… I could only suggest things by making assumptions, but here goes.
First up - groove boxes lend themselves to types of music where you bring layers in and out, rather than switch between sections. Try making tracks with really distinct sections with a different feel. Not just melodies, but instrument sounds, disrupting the rhythm by moving the snares - half timing that sort of thing.
You could try bringing your beat and bass together in as a whole, rather than layers of a beat at a time
Also make , only allow yourself to put the first kick of a bar on the downbeat. Ideally without the snare on 2 and 4. Also no claps allowed. Claps are a techno sounds!
I’m sure you know and have tried all this… but the sections bit is the thing I am always trying to do.
Synthetic drums in general really.
Old ones too. I always had/have a rule in my 20+ years 
of DJing to never play a specific style or energy level for more than 3 tracks in a row. Jump around and when something works, ride that style for 3 tracks tops and change it up again until something sticks again.
Specifically because even the best stuff gets boring when you hear it over and over. It’s better to keep a dance floor by changing it up even if it dwindles for a moment during the change. High energy stuff only works when it has contrast (dichotomies n stuff, human nature).
Put a clap on the 2 and 4 and that should solve your problem. Now you’re making tech-HOUSE
You need … A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble to explode In Your Mind
actually, i do it all the time.
but i thought bass is not allowed in techno at all, only stuff like pitched down 808 toms.
Place the Bass Drum trigs on 2, 3 and 11.
Use strange samples.
Smoke Weed.
Don’t go higher than 118 bpm.
And if, then immediatly to 144bpm.
Listen to IDM / Ambient / Break-Beats.
Start with a synth Melody, not with the Drums.
Trust yourself 
Snares on 2 & 4, distort the fuck out of your drumbus, slow the tempo to 70bpm… Bam, you’re doing indus now!
I have the same problem, everything I make turns into hiphop. I’m working on my noisy / post punk stuff, but really, it’s hiphop with dirty drums and a mediator bassline.
But Techno is so much fun
And even Bee Gees made 4th on the Floor Songs, but it’s more Pop. Just try to sing over your Tracks and it won’t be techno anymore.
Melody and harmony. Just work on that. Dont use any percussive sounds at all.
Learn to trancend the percieved four bar paradigm of elektron machines.
Texture, space. Work on that. No drums.
Change your tempo dude
And put ur snares anywhere except on the second and the fourth
Also, why do I see Amazon ads??
I’m out
