If there is a video that can cover the essence of writing electronic music.. For me this is the ONE. Yes Yes Kenny Larkin perfectly portraying the importance of imperfection ;:) #technosoul
I live by this
@@NextSound170 ye man me too and not by choice.. I just do and live things that way
@@eg1612 Yes man, the music I work with for my own platform has to be soulful.
I feel like I really learned something from this video...im actually way too methodical and analytical sometimes and just forget to twiddle and play around and let 'the other half' take over for a while.
ha. reborn!
word!
Kenny Larkin seems like a nice dude. Good energy. Awesome tunes. ❤️
808 minutes.. love it. Who’s the genius?
good eye
You had the chance to "out genius" the video guy and post this on Thursday lol
Good point : D
YUPPP, I saw it too 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
If you're just finding out, your education is just beginning.
What a top dude. Really enjoyed his approach and straightforwardness
Didn't expect to laugh when I clicked on that, but the guy makes me wanna hang out in his studio just as much as the gear
He’s Dark Comedy for some reason.
What an awesome human. I'd even say that if I hadn't heard his music
What a champ - no pretensions, great gear and honest.
If you only knew
no pretensions? did we watch the same video?
Sheesh! Kenny has style! studio, pants, the whole package!
He speaks with such tonal range
This dude is a legend but still super chill and down to earth.
Honesty makes people seem so much more interesting. Thank you, Kenny, for being like that!
Great unpretentious interview by a true artist! Thanks!
Love Kenny. Butterflies is one of my all-time favorite tracks.
Massive respect for this legend. Been a big fan since 94.
Thanks Telekom and Mr Larkin! Be simple, be humble, be in truth with yourself and others.
I love his sound so much. You're a hero.
i saw him as part of Dallas's very first rave, billed as "RAVE MASSIVE" in 1991, outdoors, and it included the plus 8 records crew, richie hawtin, kenny larkin, john aquaviva, cybersonik, and others i cant recall.......? its cool how he uses ableton live along with a mixing board, thats what i want my ultimate set-up to be like
Love this, Kenny Larkin is so great, what an awesome studio!
him flipping the bird at the maschine then chuckling about it was such a pure and relatable moment. i love my maschine, but i often have moments like these. i'd love to grab a drink with kenny, what a personality.
Raw good soul music. Take note - this is what Techno is about. Soul music
Love listening to him talking. Very down to earth and humble. He’s funny too, can see how he ended up doing stand up comedy as well as music.
Legendary yet somehow underrated. Mr Kenny Larkin.
$8000 Moog One and a $300 Behringer Model D, hell yeah
thats how its done :)
and a 72.000€ mixing console
Came here to find this comment.
70'000 dollars speakers
I mean the explanation about not wanting to deal with repairs is totally valid
The intimacy of the room I love it ❤️❤️❤️
Loving the attitude of Kenny Larkin. It's very refreshing to hear someone talk why he bought a "Moog One" and a "Deckard's Dream". Many thumbs up at 8:06 ... hahahaha!!! :-)
Been Listening to Kenny's music for many, many years. Legend.
Love that dude, he is such a nice guy and really explains what makes me do music - the feel! Awesome dude
We love you Kenny!
Kenny "Self-proclaimed Gear Slut" Larkin. Wonderful dude!
Great Analogy on Music...
This guy is my spirit animal
Best tech talk so far - Kenny, can I come and live under you API? 😍
😂
Very inspiring 🙌🏻
Lol, I feel so called out with the Deckard‘s Dream comment.
100% true
Like him and his humbleness. 👍👍👍👍
So refreshing for a Producer to be so simplistic and real in both his approach to the Interview and the making of Music.
Detroit techno legend, thanks for uploading.
Very inspiring! Kenny is a brilliant artist and producer.
Love this video!!! You are great man!!
This guy is a Legend! One of the best tech talk :)
What an awesome nice bloke Mr Larkin seems to be - really inspiring
Very handsome and charming producer. Oh yeah... his music is fantastic too!
always loved him
I adore his energy
I hope i have half this guys charisma and excitement for the craft when i reach that point in life.
Maritime (Artificial Intelligence, 1994) started it all for me, thank-you Kenny.
Great to see Kenny in his studio, thank you for doing this
I love his energy
Great space - Great vibe - Great attitude! 😀👊
What an engaging interviewee and what a bloody studio. Immense.
Lovely set up... lovely guy!
Funny guy!! awesome music
Cool dude. It was refreshing to hear his take on things. The ending statement is hilarious.
The more I watch this guy the more I love him, I'm exactly the same with my modest studio.
What a badass human being.
Although it was brief, it was a huge honor to meet him in person at DEMF on May 27 of 2001. He was very friendly and easy to talk with.
Love this, true, joyful & honest artist and that's what your hear back in his music. Great episode !
Love his music. Love the way he goes about making it
Telekom Electronic Beats, I Love you
❤️
I’ve been buying his tracks on an off since the 90s. Always different and musical.
Love Kenny.
Don't beat yourself up? we're all ho's for the gear!🎹🎧💫😵👍
yup, he has an honest point when it comes to not using all your gear to its full potential. if its the right gear it could/should take a lifetime anyway :)
Responsible for one of the greatest remixes ever for me. "la synthesis - agoraphobia". Outrageous remix
The white guy from LA Synthesis used to work in my local music shop! Nice guy
kenny one of the real masters forreal! [edit] ...and he looks like a great person too.
Thank you so much for this wonderful content! You guys really are the best at this!
"When you start spending money on studio equipment.............you can't stop!". Never a truer word spoken.
What a lovely guy.
Ein Super lockerer Typ und ein tolles Studio.
Great interview! Love this.. Kenny Larkin keeps it real. Thank you for this
Never heard any of his music but I love his energy. Will be checking him out
words. thsnk you for making us feel okay about our 'feel'
Great vibe and inspiration from this video. :)
He's such a cool dude! Very nice vid!
What a man 🥰
I love this interview, he's so honest :D
A real talent and obviously a nice lad, too. I've always loved his music, Azimuth is an amazing album. I love his honesty about how he creates and where he gets his inspiration from, too. No pretence, just sharing the music. He's the polar opposite to some artists you could mention in Detroit.
prob one of the best OG house producers tbh. and still puts out shit that sounds fresh... unlike aLOT of older dudes who got lost in the newer production standards
I agree. Newer production standards suck the life out of music - they have that cheesy big club hi-fi quality i can't stand.
@@ownedbymykitty270 over production for the sake of doing so. People gotta get out of their own way
Great charisma and honesty & great editing. Gonna go check his sound 4 sure
This Is My Style of Thinking Love it
I love this guy!!
Top guy ! 💪🏾💪🏾👌🏾
He’s just awesome
Liked him since Artificial Intelligence 2. Also noticed we have the same rug, so like him even more now.
I like this video. I like his style of music and his honesty about how he creates it. Watching videos like these is what inspired me to become a composer/music producer. These videos are the best at inspiring anyone to be creative. Thank you Mr. Larkin
Love ya´vibe and aproach Kenny ;) Ure a amazing creator in this universe,...that what´s matters Much
Amazing studio and workplace.
Hell yeah Kenny, Ballin!
Thanks for lighting up my day :) Also he has almost the same approach to music like me. Don't think too much, just do it and listen to what's happening. That's all there is to it really.
Not a musician, I was a "Pack Rat" sold everything that had a preset...went modular...never looked back. I like the fact that I have to patch and turn knobs to get the creative juices going. Great Video!.
What a genuinely likeable bloke.
One of the best to do it. Respect.
Great video No BS and straight to the point 👍
Wow Kenny Larkin I own your early records from early 90s....great to see you!!! Yeah alot of us older peeps are getting out the box, seems more magic..oh yeah I do gear move around every month lol...brilliant thanks Kenny! Keepin it real😀🙌🎶🎶🎶
love this guy
Creativity is King. Use the gear that can allow you to be the most creative
Very inspiring I had kenny larkins first album on cassette lol
Yup, the glory these days is to be able to afford the vintage synth sounds through new versions of the machines. Samplers and granular synthesis is something that back in the day was inly for the rich. Awesome studio!!
Wow, the Moog One, what a silky sound... 🤤 great musician. This guy broke the music rules years ago. I like to see people like him always young. Very inspiring 🤟🏼
This cat is cool. Like his vibe / honesty
I am also a big fan, such an inspiration and a nice guy /tip hat
