Kenny Larkin: Azimuth
Warp, 2004
Azimuth by Kenny Larkin combines dance-friendly Detroit techno with lush ambient sounds. Computerized vocals occasionally chime in and out of retro bleeps amid complex rhythms and soulful harmonics. “Funk in Space” has an unstoppable beat and wacky lilting vocal samples accompanying funky strumming. This 1994 Warp Records release is from a man who knows where techno is coming from. Kenny Larkin takes it back to its roots while exploring new routes.
