From the Cradle to the Grave

2010 release from the Irish-born/New York-taught/Germany-based Marcus Lambkin, AKA Shit Robot. After moving to the city in 1992 from his native Dublin, Ireland, Lambkin served a stint as a resident DJ at the infamous club Save the Robots, co-founded Plant Records and the now-defunct Plant Bar, used his cabinet-making skills to literally help build the DFA studio, and DJed the legendary Shit Robot parties with future LCD Sound system front man James Murphy. After more than a decade on the front lines 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 he finally began making his own music in the relative quiet of the German countryside. Since then, the tracks he has produced reflect both his longstanding love of house music and a life lived in nightclubs.
