Sorry if I'm posting in wrong section...

Are those three tunes Minimal Techno or Minimal House?

1) Dre' - Cottage Garden

2) Terence Fixmer - Breathless

Those tracks are totally hardstyle and happy hardcore. No true minimal techno or house has been released since 1965, when it was banned by Executive Decree from Lord Master Zarkon.
I hope this has been helpful in your quest for ultimate dance music knowledge.
Hail Zarkon!

@trak660
Did I ask stupid or improper question? I'm newbie here and I don't really understand what I possible did wrong. There is nothing in FAQ about asking questions such as mine.

House = Technotronic
Techno = Lords Of Acid

dont worry about it revers. some people just like to feel superior from behind a keyboard.

those tracks are definitely more on the techno side of things.
if you like that sound, check out some of these labels... sandwell district, blueprint, stroboscopic artefacts, mote evolver, fackwerk, ostgut ton, clr, drumcode, m-plant, historia y violencia, delsin, time to express, komisch, equalized / wax, frozen border, horizontal ground, skudge, prologue.

hope that helps.

The tracks in your post are definitely techno, not house.

It's smart to check new releases in minimal, house, techno, and tech house. Depending on the artist or what else is on the release, a techno track might end up in another section. Spudgun's list is a good start. You could also check the web for playlists by these artists to find new names.

Thanks all for answers. Especially to spudgun. I will definitely check those labels.
