Thanks for these! I love Super Ape and Rockers Uptown. I'm also really into the early 1980s UK dub scene (On-U Sound and the likes).
With dub techno, I loved Basic Channel and Chain Reaction – I still regularly go back to Vladislav Delay's early works – but agree the style has become formulaic. That being said, there were still interesting things to be discovered within that framework after 1993. I agree Loidis isn't the best example of this (isn't it actually more microhouse- than dub-techno-influenced though?) but I think the whole 3XL/Motion Ward/West Mineral cosmos brings out interesting stuff somewhere between ambient and dub techno, and I also want to shout out Purelink.
thanks Stephan! There will be more modern things (including Basic Channel) in part two. No Vladislav Delay, though. Sadly! Loidis is very microhouse but he himself talks about it being dub techno. And he tends to be held up as an example of the dub techno revival!
