Amazing releaseIt's been a few years since Carl Craig's Detroit based independent label Planet E Communications has released an artist full-length and Craig hasn't chosen just any album for his label's return to releasing full lengths. This is a very special record from his fellow Detroiter, former neighbor and long-term close friend Kenny Larkin who also happens to be one of the most original producers to emerge from Detroit.
Kenny Larkin's last album "Funkfaker" was released in France in 2004. Dropped under his Dark Comedy moniker it was much more of a deep exploration into a new kind of funk. It was a step away from his electronic roots, and a more experimental work when considered in the body of his musical work. “Keys, Strings and Tambourines” however goes back to where Larkin started -
back to his days as a youngster going to The Shelter and Music Institute in Detroit. "Inspiration for this album simply came from the love of electronic music" says Kenny.

Note: two singles from the album will be released - the single "You Are" featuring the non album original mix and dark mix drops pre-album and is also included on Luciano's recent Fabric 41 mix. The Second single post album will feature a Carl Craig remix of "Bass Mode"
