To list the ways Marcus Lambkin, aka Shit Robot, spent the ’90s and early aughts is to essentially document some of New York City’s most seminal moments in music. After moving to the city in 1992 from his native Dublin, Ireland, the man behind the moniker served a stint as a resident DJ at the infamous club Save the Robots; co-founded Plant Records and the now defunct Plant Bar, where The Rapture’s Luke Jenner poured drinks and which UK magazine The Face called “New York’s coolest and loudest bar”; used his cabinet making skills to help literally build the DFA studio; and DJ’ed the legendary Shit Robot parties with future LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy. After more than a decade on the frontlines of New York City’s music scene DJ’ing other people’s records, Lambkin departed in 2004 for a small town outside of Stuttgart where – in the relative quiet of the German countryside – he finally began making his own music. Since then, he has produced tracks that are a reflection of both his longstanding love of house music and a life lived in nightclubs.
