OK, go ahead and flame me, since I'll probably screw things up
anyways...
I really like this techno/rave thing (although from what I understand,
it is quickly dying).

Here are some compiliations which are available (purchased at HMV in
Toronto):

There!  There's a start!  My best suggestion is that:
1) If you're mildly interested, try to get a compiliation with various
artists - it gives you a wide range of styles
2) If you're a DJ, speak to other DJs - they know best (almost all the
time).

I'm also interested in expanding my Techno/ !RAVE! collection.  Could
anybody please post some other artists as well (I've got about a dozen
12" vinyl which I haven't listed yet - I can't type anymore :-( ).
Either North American domestic or European Imports.

Also, what is happening, or what is the hot thing, in the UK scene?

Has anybody heard of Guru Josh?

I could go on, but I should say Chow for Now!
