There's plenty of good minimal stuff out there at the moment (ala Basic Channel, Rob Hood, etc.). Try checking out the Deepchord or Echochord labels. It's really great dubbed out minimal...as in there is literally only like a synth, a kick drum and a hi hat, sometimes not even that. Rod Modell makes some great stuff and Vanquier just put out something recently as well.

It's kind of like Dirty Bass said, the stuff classified these days as minimal is actually more like house music than minimal. The world minimal has just become an umbrella term just like techno is. And as Darkside said, there is plenty of good music going around at the moment...so if you're not finding quality music then you're not looking hard enough.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing techno move down to the BPM of like 115bpm jackin acid-house type tracks. Bring some old school flare, b-boy attitude, and 80s influence into the mix.
