I've really enjoyed Stephen Betkke's 'Pole' series - really deep germanic
electro dub. It has more reverb than you can shake a stick at.

whoohoo! people that know what I'm talking about :))
techno is a bit of a non-entity in cape town (south africa) where psy-trance 
forces itself down our throats.

I guess that I have to say out front that I am an all-out fan of The Other 
Day. Tracks like Sleeping Giants and Spider Formation just do it for me - and 
in those terms (while some tracks on Every Dog... were good) I felt like the 
production as a whole did not have that oomph (statement of intent) that came 
through in The Other Day. I felt like I was listening to Invisible Orchestra 
again.

hmmm... perhaps I've just spent too much time over the last few years 
listening to jazz-flavoured hip hop (pls. don't bring a Kid Loco record 
_near_ me). What I find appealing now is layering and frequency filtering.

Not to take the wind out of your sails, but I found Every Dog... vol. 2 (the 
12") to be quite a lazy production - both in intent and execution. As someone 
who loved the Other Day and Metropolis I can't help feeling that perhaps the 
title reveals some of the intention behind the compilation(s) - giving each 
dog of a track a day to be spun. hmmm...
