Toolbox seem to be consistently great at the moment. major kudos to them for putting out a Tim Clewz EP

Deprivation are putting out some blinders as well (at least they will be if they ever get their pressing issues sorted out...)
Deprived of Funk is going to be an interesting sub label as well, looks like the funkier side of hard house is going to make a massive comeback this year:)

Volatile NRG are putting out some seriously filthy tunage from Oz, and Operation9 seem to be on a roll as well (both with 3 releases under their belts)

and Bootek releases are usually good for a cheesy laugh (can't stop playing "Pump up the jam" at the mo:p )

M-nus, but I'm a minimal fan.
You can't go wrong with a bit of Hawtin etc.

I guess Kompakt, always has been.

Touchin' Bass - really good dark and dirty electro.

Narita Records - intelligent music for the dancefloor. The last two Anders Ilar releases have been very good.

Wagon Repair - excellent minimal label. Mathew Jonson releases alot on this label.

Breakin' Records - Run by EDMX, slightly quirky electro which is always good fun and always has one eye on the dancefloor.

Mostly for Aphex Twin and the like...
