Ask The Producer: Kenny Larkin (Electronic Beats TV)

[@gabrieljennings5492]

He's always one of the most real people talking about this stuff and I love how much his interviews stand out because of it.

[@SoundlabEffects]

This guy had my shoes wore out in the 90's Chicago scene..😂

[@am5790]

90s Chicago, Detroit, and Berlin owe me treatment money for my knees :)

[@786Muzik]

One of my all time favorite producers ever!!

[@Beexzz]

It is so good to see Kenny in 2020. Last time I saw him was some 15-20 years ago. And I have quite a few of his vinyl releases. Always liked his grooves.

[@rp5156]

This guy...so damn humble.....c’mon Kenny u a legend out here of course we wanna know what’s going on with you. With you and all the originators from TheD. You guys paved the way and I wanna take this moment to say thanks to YOU! and the city of DETROIT. It’s all one.Peace

[@skriptico]

Totally agree with you fratello! Thanks To D. from me too :)

[@valquireveljkovic]

i just want to underline this! on the point!

[@PolaritySoundscapes]

I come from a metal/rock background and Kenny's interviews have always opened my eyes to different aspects of music production. Great content.

[@user-wi9nn6dz8w]

Azimuth was such a fantastic album. A classic forever.

[@scottarmstrong8585]

Innovative and inspiring gent. Always has been.

[@st0rmchild]

Totally agree. I've been a fan since Azimuth.

[@gdhancz]

"My studios in the cloud bra" too funny! So much good info here! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@ozzy3ml]

"I need to touch my music." Yes!! That's the perfect way of putting it into words. You hit the nail on the head about different pieces of gear being inspiring in different ways because of how we interface with them (as well as the sounds, obviously). Even my JV-2080 is staying despite how much more convenient the plugin would be. The black box with the green screen and slim rectangular buttons just puts me in the zone.

[@HurricaneRvd9]

His energy and attitude is so great

[@MuslimShortanov]

I’d like to say thank you Telecom beats team for such an amazing content ! Great job. Keep moving.

[@farning1597]

I could listen for hours to him! His honesty and humbleness about the process, admitting when he doesn´t know something and encouragement to try stuff out is very inspiring and gives me confidence. And looking at my Kenny records (Loop 2 was my first bought), it´s even more precious learning from this legend which music accompanys me for so many years now.

[@bastiaanw3519]

Awesome, really appreaciated that Kenny took the time to answer all these interesting questions honestly. Longest YT video I ever wachted without skipping, that's for sure.

[@JackP2601]

Down to earth chap, says it like it is. Great to listen to on a rainy Tuesday !

[@sergedotcom]

Feel like u gotta watch at least halfway before commenting. Love this. Truly embodies a legend.

[@Bin909able]

A great watch, thanks a lot! Big fan here, Dark Comedy - The March is definitely on my top 5 of all times...

[@isaac.anthony]

we all appreciate you, Kenny, thanks for dropping knowledge!!!

[@isaac.anthony]

i was using cubase before ableton, agree!

[@jloy81]

"Where is your studio?? Oh! It's in the cloud!" Ahahahahahahaha!! Genius! Kenny is an idol, and a super producer!!

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

‘Hope I’ll stay relevant’ how humble is that. Clearly in for the love of it, you can’t become unrelevant OG.

[@BecomingProductions]

Love listening to Kenny. Great answers from a dude who really knows his shit.

[@jdaddyaz]

Yo Kenny. I love you man! Keep doing your thing till the end of times.

[@boysodd]

One of the best 55 minutes of my life! Respect!

[@skriptico]

Kenny is a total master! (Edit) loved the "unarranging" / "stay on session" style. He 's one of the Masters for real.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Agreed always loved his track.

[@DayflightTrok]

You are right. Everybody needs to find its style by its own. Success is always hard work, fortune and stand up after falling down.

[@silofuse]

Fantastic! Thanks Kenny for taking the time. Also, thank you EB.TV.

[@Audiojunkk]

Hell yeah!!! EB really are the best! Thanks for doing this Kenny!

[@Dogboy73]

Brilliant video. More of this please

[@DeepDownRadio]

Thank you Telekom for bringing this to us! Honest, Raw and just brilliantly straightforward. Mad Respect to Kenny. 3 min for Nightflow?! Masterpiece ❤️

[@AndresWS]

thank you for your time Kenny !

[@dennissong3754]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Kenny. You give me hope!

[@theway3058]

Love how he is so modest with it all. You can tell this dude would be fun on a session. Great interview.

[@CONVEX_MIRROR]

Kenny Larkin? A billion thumbs up! Legend and amazing artist, easily one of the greatest.

[@jimigrok]

wow it was like talking with a friend, than i realized it is a youtube film haha - thanks a lot ;-)

[@Zeninaction]

I've liked Kenny Larkin's music for a while, and after watching this, like him as a person too. I can completely relate to his style of music making as a producer myself. He's a cool cat

[@quartznation9499]

You're spinning really reflects your personality.. I heard you play at Space Miami once. From the first track you not only took over the club but the entire town!!

[@paulburkhart2619]

Thank you Kenny and thanks Telekom Electronic Beats. That was great. Browsing candles now. :)

[@DeepDownRadio]

Can’t wait for the new album Kenny! Thanks for keeping it real for us!

[@Plaw01]

His video's are so informative. Comes across as a really down to earth guy.

[@funnyegg]

This was really good. Thank you Telecom and Kenny Larkin for an educational and entertaining session.

[@floordoctor]

Kenny will be one the producers / DJs that'll be just be fine regardless of how this industry improves or doesn't. Those who are most adaptable and maintain a great attitude are gonna do the best. Those that have other skills, or are driven to learn new skills - they will figure it out.... and Kenny is one of those people. Take note....that's what this thing is all about now AND it's permanent. Nothing will ever be quite the same again. So don't get discouraged or give up.....just reevaluate how you can still make money doing things you're passionate about. The money will come, but we all gotta look a new angles. We're gonna be dealing with variants/mutations of the virus.....and government restrictions in certain places over the next couple years at a minimum. We all gotta look at this thing as a new part of our lives, and find creative ways to work with it - and around it. Hope all you techno/house heads are keeping your heads up and moving forward. Cheers

[@moonryder203]

Great session, I really enjoyed this video, He is just special, an inspiration to us all.

[@TheSaxpower]

Such a nice artist. I dont wanna label it but theres soo much buddhism and positivity in this beautifull mind❤️

[@kelpkelp5252]

Manik-Man, my introduction to Kenny's output back in the day, still a real classic track

[@rdubb77]

I can totally see how did / does standup. Great presence and timing.

[@gel1912]

last few days have been shit but this more than makes up for it . Thank you TE Beats and Mr. Larkin for the masterclass

[@artao5]

RE: Behringer YES! Thank you!! And not just their clones, their original designs as well. I've got a Neutron and am loving it! I also recently bought a used Behringer Xenyx 1002B 10-channel mixer. Very nice little unit!! Again, loving it!.

[@reptilespantoso]

Honest, talented guy. And I still play Methaphor. It's timeless. :-)

[@user-TheCatharticMethod]

Another Legend

[@redshift237]

So nice to hear this man, no airs and graces, just a genuine good person as well as a truly gifted and humble producer.. legend

[@iamKiluka]

He did some dark stuff you probably didn’t hear about yet. Big controversy.

[@jahreed]

azimuth - K2000 made loads of the complex sounds, i still remember booting mine up and realizing a preset made such wild soundscapes

[@nickskywalker2568]

Love this! His quite fun :D Funny how he doesn't like structure but his studio is quite well structured!

[@nym053]

I know that he was joking about the ADD thing, but having problems with structural work and then still needing things to be structured around you, is a typical ADD thing. Plus other signs shown thoughout the vid 😆

[@fazebank8549]

Kenny you are a true legend imho, and one of my biggest influences. Cheers!

[@joitdust4053]

whata legend! what a personality!

[@Pashsport]

Such amazing content! Thank u Kenny for being so in depth.

[@Noddles404]

Loved this interview. He's gotta do a new album some day

[@analog_]

Lovely guy... legend

[@tomtoms862]

Thank you Kenny for your honesty respect really enjoyable take on the way you work

[@swamianandtesla2347]

Maestro!

[@hang-sangitch]

Awesome vid. Thanks telekom beats and Kenny 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Coksaugenatbrockhausen]

man i enjoyed every second of that interview.

[@yeager1888]

Nice job thank you for this a lot of game spoken so well.

[@MadazzaMusik]

I really enjoyed this video. You know when u hit the nail on the head and the tune seems to be creating itself almost like magic I feel. I'm very new to creating music but I'm not a young fella and have just loved all types of music through the ages. Since a baby in fact. My only regret is I wish I'd found my passion earlier in life

[@NthMs]

Super good stuff’ thanks fot that

[@andrewclarke2472]

Had his first album azimuth on tape when it came out lol blasted it out in a hotel room in london when i stayed there lol great album even now

[@camerondowse668]

I hope he releases another album soon. His music is sooooo good

[@ALYOUTUBERZ]

He’s great on camera

[@atohms]

True mentorship on display here. 🤜🤛 thx Kenny some realy inspiring stuff

[@alieustiansamateh6401]

Great! Love you brother, always straight up!

[@Iljinarchive]

I love Lifeforms on his Pod alias. Incredible stuff. And integration is just something special. Still is.

[@eklektikTechno]

I 100% wholeheartedly agreed with him on the film scoring, just license my tracks and I would be good with that!

[@LouisSerieusement]

Thank you so much for sharing :)

[@Iredidv]

Awesome. Thanks EBTV

[@NextSound170]

Black power. And good to see, another brother on this channel. Must not forget us, we’re part of the reason why Techno is in existence, Berlin and Detroit unity. Being undone lately!!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Kenny is great. This said, there are many other great producers we would love to feature but unfortunately they do not want or never reply. Omar S, Moodyman, Derrick Carter etc. So it's not always as easy as it looks like (for a video) from the outside. Just in case you didn't see it, one of our alltime favourite EB.TV features with Theo Parrish: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2a4hI2Hbpyfb9U

[@burger659]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV Please, an episode with Jochem paap !

[@MikeBalk]

Very awesome insights - thanks very much - what a great person.

[@daanbaas2962]

Love your answer about the Porsche. You did well, why not enjoy it 👍

[@samsungtelevision695]

What a class act. Great video, great guy

[@MrFijilove]

Wow! Have so much of his early stuff when I was Techno head. At the time himself and Blake Baxter had my ears. Always felt that US Techno had a more melodic feel in comparison to Europe.

[@pintfetzer3461]

So sympathic and informative, Thx for that braaa😅

[@foodstampz]

Excellent watch ! Great answers evenas a hardcore producer he make exact sense

[@rautshsale1948]

this was way more entertaining than i expected

[@jojo-lp4rd]

that story about choking at the comedy club sounds mortifying - interesting to hear that from someone who knows how to stir up a crowd with music so well - "don't ask for something you ain't ready for" - great interview - so cool to hear from the detroit techno gods, the whole scene is so relevant.

[@ricardodsavant2965]

legend! ✨

[@robinsharepointblog]

Love the honesty in everything!

[@GeorgeBeyond]

This is some good truthful stuff! Great guy!

[@HouseJunk1e]

awesome fucking interview. WELL DONE. THANK YOU!

[@FrancisJoa]

I like the videos about and with Kenny Larkin. Can you make a video with him while he is producing something?

[@mataya909]

Best guy ever!

[@磁鬼頻率]

Rather than inspiration from other artists, I like the idea if inspiration from machines and processes of sound creation!

[@benmorrow1701]

Love this man

[@RANDOMLOOPGENERATOR]

Absolutely love this, thanks for giving your time, very inspiring.

[@julienloreto1]

Thanks Kenny and EB
