Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026
Kenny Larkin
Detroit techno producer, DJ, and remixer
Based in Los Angeles, United States · From Detroit, United States · Plays most in Berlin, Amsterdam, London
Clean, rolling Detroit machine music with bright chord stabs, glassy pads, and a precise low end. He can go rugged and percussive, but the signature is that fluid, polished Detroit swing rather than straight warehouse bluntness.
