Detroit Techno

Our next Mix Series guest is a man who requires very little introduction. One of Detroit’s most iconic figures, Kenny Larkin has been at the very forefront of the electronic music scene for more than three decades. 

Best known for his soulful approach to techno, Larkin’s timeless productions have been released via such mammoth labels as Warp Records, Peacefrog, Planet E, Rush Hour, KMS and Transmat, not forgetting his own label Art Of Dance, of course. 

Following a recent string of classic Larkin reissues and represses, such as the Azimuth and Metaphor LPs, we reached out to Kenny to see if he would be interested in putting together a mix for our series. The result is a particularly unique one - it's a 1 hour and 15-minute recording taken from a live DJ set he did in LA on Saturday 4th September 2021. 

Enjoy the raw energy!

Phonica Mix Series 87: Kenny Larkin

An assortiment of classics and new releases along the diverse facets of detroit techno. Starting off smooth and groovy but itchy, passing over to driven drum baselines and landing in straight bangers, the mix is decorated with the characteristic bleeps and rough analog sounds of Detroit Techno.

Second set of 6 sets I made somewhere between 2002 and 2006. Mixed these on my old SL1210's. Not my best mixing skills but I was quite new to these styles.

Enjoy,
Cheers Levv!

Being asked to play over 145 BPM on another event,  I digged into some oldschool Techno from my own early raving years and combined them into a new Techno Jacket mix! 
I got goosebumps myself during performing this rather exceptional and exclusive show on a party recently 😻

Check it out and tell me if I triggered your early raving years with this one!🙏

Back To The 90’s & 2000´s Retro House Techno Mix With Wiebe Roose

Mid 2000s Tech House/Techno Mix

Like Hip Hop, Techno Rave was what it was called in the very beginning of the American scene.  Hip would be the knowledge. Hop would be the Dance.  Techno was the Music, Rave was the Movement.  1990 The Peace Love Unity Movement.  In those first three years Rave expanded cross country and by 1993 every city in America had events.  Techno Rave had been dropped as Rave Music became commercialized & the Movement now worldwide.

Techno went back to it's underground roots from Detroit and Movement now established became about Respect.  Respect the Movement.  This was 1993.

Moving forward 30 years, Detroit Techno Militia are the gatekeepers of truth in Techno city.  They came to Brooklyn to spread the Detroit Love in a time and place where New York City is more like Gotham then the NYC we knew.  

But when Brooklyn is in the House, Brooklyn is in the House.  A small dedicated crowd of ravers & clubbers alike kept this party going unitl about 9 a.m.  

I played 1:20-2:40 a.m.  80 minutes.  When dipped in reality, we really represent the real in this culture.  Signiture styles which come from the beginnings of both Techno & Rave and can be copied but not duplicated.

Detroit Techno Mix

It is fair to say that for every Derrick May and Jeff Mills, the Motor City has produced a whole bunch of talented artists that never quite got the same acclaim. Kelli Hand aka K-HAND is surely one of those. The rather under the radar artist is one of Detroit’s most consistent performers, and has been for the last twenty years. Her music revolves around slick and robust drums and has come on essential labels like Underground Resistance, Warp and Tresor as well as more recently Nina Kraviz’s Trip. 

Deep seated as her roots are, K-HAND'S music is not all throwback stuff: this mix she has put together for us mixes up the old and the new, the choppy and the smooth. Underpinned by a darkly seductive energy, it bristles and brims with vocal laced breakbeats and swinging garage, glides through some smooth deep techno and gets loose with some wild style jams that will get you out of your seat.
