Hah, good topic actually! Yet not... since I seriously have hard time providing a reply.
What bugs me is that there is so much techno cds released just this year (Petar Dundov, Kenny Larkin, Shed...) I haven't had the time nor the budget to check out yet and they might potentially be top shooters.
Quickly giving this a thought, only these would one hundred percent positively belong in my top-10:
Monolake - Hongkong (and I just bought the original metal case one today, I'm super happy about that! "Index" and "Occam" are the definitive techno numbers for me which really opened my perception of music when I first heard them.)
Brother's Yard - Reaction (psychedelic harsh industrial techno of the hiest orda)
Speedy J - Loudboxer (same as above...)
Joey Beltram - Places (the attention to detail on this one...)
