techno has two meanings — it’s funny — for europeans they mean stuff with no vocals, really underground “hard” stuff — for americans, when they say “techno”, often they mean what in europe is called “dance”. And “dance” in europe is a lot more mainstream and pop-oriented
for “american” style techno (i.e. european “dance”), the best example I’ve found is this (itunes link):

strangely it’s called “euro club hits” … which makes things even more confusing ;
for “european” style techno… i.e. the stuff with no songs, I recommend going to http://www.beatport.com and checking out the stuff in the “techno” section
