Monokreck describes his style as "open minded house, from glitchy microhouse to deep techno, and all in between". Melting many styles of electronic music together to create a warm atmosphere on the dancefloor.
Kerst is natuurlijk niks zonder een goed diner en een kerstboom! Kerst is niks zonder sneeuw(!), kerst is niks zonder sinterklaas. Maar wat natuurlijk ook niet kan missen om de kerstdagen goed af te sluiten is een dijk :) van een feest.
Soms ben je ergens aan het wandelen en begint het ineens keihard te regenen. Of je wordt achterna gezeten door een groep hondsdolle wezels. Of je loopt heel hard tegen een boom. In deze gevallen is het duidelijk tijd om naar huis te gaan.
Op vrijdag 26 december zal VOLTT dit jaar nog eenmaal goed uitpakken voor een knallende afsluiting van 2008. Op 2e kerstdag zal de Paradiso namelijk in het teken staan van VOLTT met een hoop vooruitstrevend talent en gerenommeerde artiesten.
With the deluge of techno artists from all over the world making headlines, it's easy (although very wrong) to forget that techno was created in Detroit, Michigan by African-American visionaries like Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins and Derrick May. From that influential tradition stems the freshest new techno face in the U.S.A.: KENNY LARKIN.
Kenny Larkin began his music career in 1990 after serving two years in the U.S. Air Force, where he was repairing computers. Hanging out at local Detroit clubs like The Music Institute and The Shelter, he soon hooked up with Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva and started to record for their Plus 8 label. Kenny also founded his own imprint Art Of Dance and released records under a variety of monikers, including Dark Comedy, Pod and Yennek. Metaphor, released in February 1995, is Kenny's second full-length album, and a most convincing proof of the fact that, unlike anybody else, he kicks up some real soul in his techno. The album was preceded on November 28th by the single Catatonic, on which four mixes (two by the artist himself, one by Carl Craig and one by Stacey Pullen) competed for the most vivid interpretation of the track. All in all, Metaphor is a high class Detroit package marked by variety and rhythmic enchantment; it's melodic, emotive and, like so much great U.S. techno, almost jazz-like in places. "This is electronic soul music, full of human feeling and warmth", wrote Mixmag Monthly, while i-D commented: "a juxtaposition of polished classic Detroit and quirky jazz-inspired innovation". At times very minimal and ambient, other times well informed by house, Kenny's warm dance beats hit in just the right places at just the right time. "A lot of styles of music come out in my moods: jazz, house, it depends on how I'm feeling", Kenny muses. "A lot of my music is improvised. I just start playing chords and get emotions off that, and then go. All this 180 BPM shit is not how techno was ! envisioned to be. People like the early Detroit guys and Kraftwerk were showing people their emotions through their music. That's what I'm doing as well."
