If you are really into the minimal scene I would highly recommend watching a couple documentaries about Richie Hawtin. He was a pioneer of Detroit techno and his "Minus" themed parties have really taken off in Europe.

I've watched these 3 documentaries and I've gained so much insight into the world of minimal techno and just how much of an influence Richie was/is on the scene. And he's Canadian to boot! I highly recommend you download these and watch them.
And Paul Kalkbrenner is an awesome DJ! He did the essential mix a couple months ago and blew me away.
