If you are now planning on buying records regulalry then the best way is to
go into a record store and talk to the guys in there. It is there job to
know what is good etc.
Now that said not every record store attendant is going to have the same
tastes as you, by the sounds of it your not even completely sure which genre
you like. This list is dedicated to detroit techno although it seems as
though other forms of minimal techno and chicago house are acceptable too.
There would be no point in everyone on here giving you a top 10 when you may
like jungle or trance.
My suggestion is if you don't have time (imho there is always time but i
love spending hours in record shops) then check out a website that sells
records with the option of listening to sound bites see
http://www.juno.co.uk it has a variety of styles and artists. If you used to
buy records just check out the artists you used to buy, most are probably
still making music and by doing searches for them on something like
artistdirect.com you should be able to find other related artists.

ps this is my first post to 313 so in case anyone is interested:
I'm a 24 yo male living in Adelaide, Australia (shout outs to
tan,jm,nexus,cjp and royal, yeah i finally joined up =) )
I have been going to raves for about 7 years but only really concentrated on
techno and house for the last 4 b4 that it was mixed with some really bad
happy hardcore and early jungle :)
also noticed this list has a variety of people from the uk, if anyone lives
around Dunfermline, Scotland (where i was born) i'd love to here from them
to find out what's going on with techno there.
