When ordering Detroit stuff, I always look here first: http://electrofunk.com/main/catalog/index.php
They don't really cover all of Detroit Techno, but they're no more expensive than Beatport & the others, and you're giving money to the primary distributor of the music.

I stuck around long enough to hear him do some sorta shaky mixes.
