KENNY LARKIN

For our Easter special we are proud to present one of Detroit’s elite techno producer and DJs: Kenny Larkin.

Kenny began his musical journey in 1990, fresh from serving 2 years in the U.S. Air Force. By visiting such glorious clubs as The Music Institute and The Shelter he met all the key players in the Detroit scene at the time, including a certain Richie Hawtin who put out Kenny’s first release on his Plus 8 label.

Then after a number of releases under his various monikers of Dark Comedy, Pod, and Yennek and on other such seminal labels as Derrick May’s Transmat and his own Art Of Dance, Kenny released his debut artist album “Azimuth” on Warp in 1994. It was extremely well received by the music press and was hailed by some as one of the most original and innovative techno albums to date.

Since “Azimuth” Kenny has released a further 2 artist albums under his Dark Comedy alias and 3 under his own name, including “Keys Strings and Tambourines” in 2008 which again received widespread critical acclaim, as well as multiple EPs on some of the world’s most respected labels.

As a DJ, Kenny’s skills are second to none and his sets (much like his productions) take in influences from all over the musical spectrum – expect to hear the finest house and techno sounds all infused with elements of funk, soul, jazz and blues and mixed to perfection in a fluid and rolling style that you should expect from one of the motor city’s leading lights.
