Highko,cosmo,kindzadza audiopathic etc. is hi tek 
Shift etc is just capetown psytrance or night fullon or how do you call that saw madness south african music ?
Hitek is dark but not. Like many timestretch glitch fast bass and fm.
Not the regular deep darkpsy with just random stuff and a low baseline. Its more speedy energy
Ocelot is mental i think.
folders  I always liked the psychedelic forest music.

Wow this thread got ridiculous fast.
In any case, hi-tech is generally terrible. It's the brostep of psytrance - it's like instead of moving into interesting sound design territory (forest, anyone?) or sheer aggression (darkpsy), they just make fullon with only giant peaks, the same shitty fm or unison leads, and epic drumrolls that lead into - more of the same, followed by epic drumrolls that drop into... more of the same.
Eh, but that's personal opinion. I've seen a few hi-tech acts live (and they were by FAR the worst culprits for 'just-press-play' livesets) and while there were decent moments, the kickdrum or snare roll buildups get very boring very fast. There were a couple epic moments where I said to myself, 'this lead would be epic if it were the peak of a track...' but without proper flow, it was just lost in the fray and immediately replaced by that same ol' supersaw.
But it depends what you listen for - if you want music to sound clubby and full of buildups, and full of peaks with few valleys, then hi-tech is for you. I prefer my trance to by entrancing, evolving, mesmerizing, full of valleys, slopes, peaks and other wilder landforms, and I like it surprising, unexpected but familiar like a tryst with an ex-lover, and psychedelic through sound design, not by brute force of one kick-roll drop after another.
/rant. Sorry, haven't had a jaded, stuck up, narcissistic genre rant in a while. You know how it is.
