Marcus Lambkin, known professionally as Shit Robot, is an Irish DJ and electronic music producer who has been a key figure in the dance music scene since the early 1990s. Originally from Dublin, Lambkin relocated to New York in the early 2000s, where he became closely associated with James Murphy and the DFA Records collective, playing a formative role in the evolution of the label’s signature sound. Shit Robot’s music is characterized by a blend of classic house, disco, techno, and electro, infused with a playful and irreverent spirit.

He released his debut album, *From the Cradle to the Rave*, in 2010, featuring collaborations with artists such as Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Nancy Whang (LCD Soundsystem, The Juan MacLean), and James Murphy himself. The album’s standout singles, like “Take ‘Em Up” and “Simple Things (Work It Out),” received acclaim for their infectious energy and clever reimagining of vintage dance music tropes. Lambkin’s steady output of singles and remixes on DFA and other labels has reinforced his reputation as a DJ’s DJ, with tracks like “OB-8” and “Where It’s At” gaining cult status in underground dance circles.

His live performances and DJ sets, known for their seamless genre-blending and party-friendly ethos, have made him a sought-after act at clubs and festivals worldwide. Shit Robot’s subsequent albums, *We Got a Love* (2014) and *What Follows* (2016), further showcased his knack for inventive collaborations and his knack for updating classic dancefloor sounds for new generations. Based in Germany for much of the 2010s, Lambkin has continued to be a vital and beloved presence in electronic music, both as a recording artist and as a global ambassador of DFA’s indie dance ethos.
