Meet Alex Ruder, KEXP’s Overnight Sensation and the Most Underrated DJ at the Station

by DAVE SEGAL

It’s 11 p.m. on a Friday, and Alex Ruder isn’t scheduled to be on the air for another two hours, but he’s already busy in KEXP’s library, cutting five-by-five-inch track-list sheets for CDs of unreleased songs that he burned for the station’s DJs—on his own time, in his own apartment. “This is my favorite time of the week,” he says while bringing down the blade on yet another sheet of paper. He’s irrepressibly industrious tonight, even after putting in a full day’s work as manager at Video Isle and coming off Hanukkah dinner with his family…

Kenny Larkin – Cadenza Podcast 008

To most electronic music aficionados, Detroit native Kenny Larkin is a man who needs
no introduction. His impressive 20-year history of creating arguably some of the most
timeless, soulful techno ever created, is unquestionable. But, to the newer generation of
club-goers, who aren’t aware of his contributions, 2012 serves as the year to re-establish
his position as one of the most valuable forces in dance music today.

On his popularity, Larkin states:

“I’m more like the artist’s artist. I’ve had very successful electronic artists telling me constantly
how much I’ve influenced them, but, to the newer generations of club-goers, my name might not
be as well known. I like to say, I’m famous for not being famous!” -KL

As a producer, DJ and remixer, Kenny has mesmerized crowds and fans across the globe for the last twenty years with his music. Since 1990, Larkin has cemented his name in the pages of dance music history along with fellow Detroit Techno music mates, Derrick May, Carl Craig and Kevin Saunderson.

Kenny’s list of achievements and discography are groundbreaking to say the least. Highlights include his first full album, Azimuth (released 1994), which was deemed by Street Sound Magazine to be one of the top 20 techno CD’s of all time.

His second album, Keys, Strings and Tambourines, released under the mighty wings of Carl Craig’s label Planet E was considered by many including Resident Advisor to be one of the most important albums released that year (2008), featuring it in their top 20 essential albums list.
Larkin’s thunderous return to techno has not stopped since, with Kenny touring the globe more than ever as part of the 25 years of Detroit Techno celebrations and releasing new records on Planet E, being remixed by Claude Von Stroke and Ben Klock and collaborating with Shlomi Aber on his Be As One Imprint.

Listening to “Shaken” is like sneaking into the arcade to

get in a few games of arkanoid before my mom notices I’m gone.

A huge 8-bit bassline and up-beat classic house sounds are put

together very well for an all around old school feel with a futuristic touch.

Anderson hit the nail on the head on this one and you don’t want to miss it!
