About

Critically acclaimed member of the Third Wave of Detroit innovators, Kenny Larkin makes his mark on electronic music's growing history with his emotive techno style. Highly influential to the European dance scene, Larkin's talents have earned him much-deserved international respect. Instilling a warm, human feel to an all-too-often mechanical medium, Larkin intersperses sharp Detroit Techno grooves with soft strains of Chicago house, quirky experimentalism, and jazz-inflected goodness. Comforting digital melodies and sheer Ambient washes balance out massive basslines and tough rhythms that hypnotize like a swinging pendulum to create a haunting soundscape of soulfully wordless musings.
