You should check some of the stuff coming from Electric Kingdom, a lot of it is a kind of techno/trance on an 80's synth vibe. I'm a particular fan of Lexy and K-Paul these days.
While we are on the subject, any recommendations on 80's synth bands to check out other than the usual depeche mode, new order stuff.
