I have recently got REALLY into minimal techno and would love to get hold of a book or site or video with loads of information on about the start up of the scene and how its changed over the years. Also somewhere I could maybe listen to a few classic tracks etc.
If anyone knows of such a place or if one even exists I would be made up
Learning about the scene
just use the internet dude.
find out what your into and read up on the artists labels, parties etc..
the as your tastes change you learn more etc etc..
Listen to better stuff than minimal though, unless it's like hood or mills etc..
most 'minimal' on beatport etc isn't even worth taking the time to learn about.

Don't know how helpful this would be for 'minimal techno', but definitely some interesting videos on this site, plus a horrible one with Von Oswald

well it seems like you are searching for the history of 'the minimal hype' wich is actually not that interesting. minimalistic music tho has been here since many decades and the minimalistic electronic music that sounds as the 'minimal' u may know today has been around since the early 2000's (nineties if u will with plastikman and hood but IMO thats not yet the same sound)
just check out the perlon catalogue and the artists (and their history) related to that and whatever you do avoid the term minimal on beatport ;-)
