Detroit techno progenitor Kevin Saunderson made an indelible mark on electronic music when he — along with childhood friends Derrick May and Juan Atkins — helped take dance music into the future in the '80s. Known as the Belleville Three, the three DJ/producers kickstarted a sound that continues to blossom in the global underground. While [...]

Kevin Saunderson and his childhood friends Derrick May and Juan Atkins — better known as the Belleville Three — took dance music into the future in the '80s, using technology to create, define and popularize techno around the world. Little did they realize that their sonic experiments would launch one of the greatest and longest lasting youth movements the world has ever seen. To say that today's beatmakers owe a debt of gratitude is perhaps too great of an understatement. Where Atkins and May hovered close to the underground, Saunderson's scope went wider thanks to crafting crossover classics [...]
M.A.N.D.Y vs Adultnapper's Bus Ted is an elliptical journey of the music chemistry between these three artists. The bongo drums and the melodic vibration of the various sounds with the inner vocals in this mix create a sensational journey into sound. Kenny Larkin in his Long Neve Remix shows his charisma in full effect and [...]

Wondering what happened to day 2? Well, the truth is, I went jet skiing for the first time in a few years. Jet skiing on Lake St. Clair on a ridiculously nice Sunday afternoon. And on those choppy waters, jet skiing is extremely exhausting, more than I remembered. Although, we did jet ski up the Detroit river almost all the way to the music fest located just past it, so technically I did sort of make it to the fest that day. Anyway, let's talk about day 3. I was, in a way, dreading day [...]

Apologies for the radio silence over the last couple of weeks - Langer and I ended up going on a very last minute snowboarding trip and tools were downed almost instantly with scant regard for our adoring public. Those of you with a similar passion for the white stuff may wish to keep your eyes on this - a project being run by the people Langer and I stayed with while we were away. Anyhow, back to the music! Easter weekend will soon be upon us and just as much of a tradition as [...]

20. Ben Klock ft. Elif Biçer, "OK" (Kenny Larkin Remix) [ Ostgut Tonträger ] ( buy ) Together with Robert Hood, Kenny Larkin proved on Ben Klock's One remixes that nobody exemplifies groove quite like Detroit. The cross-continental melding of minds saw Larkin defrost Klock's "OK" with swelling warmth and a bass line that wound itself all the way to the horizon. High wire strings gave the remix a sense of drama, while faultless percussive turns saw halting snares, clipped shakers and languid hi-hats entwine themselves through the fabric of the track. Coaxing [...]

Some proper Detroit techno for you. Kenny's work is a bit later than the original innovators. As a result is is far less well-known. But his work bears examination in the same light. It's of the same quality. Third Wave techno artist Kenny Larkin is the member of a new school of Detroit-based musicians taking the city's famous brand of hard-edged musical futurism into new and innovative areas. Although he missed out on the style's formative years in the mid- to late '80s due to a stint in the military, Larkin, a Detroit native, was brought [...]

Сначала я даже не думал его слушать, но затем включил и не смог остановиться. Похоже, у Aeroplane появился серьезный конкурент. Отличный хаус, стильное диско и неожиданная потрясающая премьера от Junkie XL . Звучит этот проект как нельзя актуально и очень стильно. Трек Junkie XL - Cosmic Rave настоятельно рекомендую, просто чудом его нашел, это бомба! Ниже небольшое интервью с героями. Still Going – нью-йоркский дуэт, состоящий из Оливера Спенсера ( Olivier Spencer ) и Эрика Данкана ( Eric Duncan ) и вместе они пишут замечательную [...]

[ Art Of Dance ] ( buy vinyl ) ( buy mp3 ) One of the spearheads of Detroit's second wave of techno producers, Kenny Larkin has been responsible for some of the most spine tingling moments in the history of techno. It's a fact that's often overlooked, but his stunning discography leaves no doubt this is the case. With time spent repairing computers for the Air Force and an intended career in stand up comedy, Larkin's entry into the Detroit scene was slightly delayed, though perhaps time spent examining the inner [...]
