You probably mean techno that doesn't have a kick on every downbeat (the 1st of the bar) but off-beat, syncopated, cross-rhythm, polymeter? If so, you're after my specialty and I can easily inundate you with what I've got.

Yeaas exactly 

Here's one of my all-time favourites from the category in question: Unknown Entity - Raging Horn. The breakdown at 3:25, the closed hihats and the open hihat accents are just brilliant. Also, to stay within the confines of WATMM, it blends well with AFX's Elephant Song.

I've got other things on my palette at the moment, but I'll post a collection from this category at some point.

Sounds like you'll be after some... IDM...

The whole EP in my signature 

Some people would say it’s not techno without a 4/4 kick, or at least a pulse on each beat.

Some people would be wrong.

Peter Van Hoesen also has tons of total bangers that would 100% match the topic. Rrose has a few too.

Maybe a stretch, but…

Awesome thread btw.

so, it's 4/4 but without the boom ts boom ts?

makes me think of surgeon. And the obvious tracks are the Ae remixes.

apart from that

(skip to second track for the surgeon remix. thats where its at..)

keeping with non-repetitive or out-of-phase compositions like Flutter (as above) and Pule by Autechre

the crazy thing about the 10-minute universal indicator track is that it's not even in 3/4 - it completes a measure by kicking three times, hence it is in 3/1 (or possibly 1/3). but everyone dances to it as 4/4 until the acid comes in...

I think the confusion comes from 4/4 sometimes being used as an alternative to 'four to the floor', which is what we're going against here.
