This is no revolution, but Shit Robot has put together a seriously robust collection of party records.
-
Pitched as the genealogy of DFA records in one album, Shit Robot finally lays down his manifesto as an incisive filter.
-
Whether or not Shit Robot is making grooves and beats that are unique and progressive isn't the point. The whole point of his work is to embrace the glorious past and then push the necessary knobs and buttons that are commonplace today to take it to a wonderfully hip-shaking new level.
-
Marcus Lambkin seems to have a thing for awful names and even worse puns. Luckily for us, as Shit Robot, his ability to craft sublime slices of electro house and muscular techno pop trumps everything else about him.
-
It's easy to hear the decades of dance music this guy's absorbed and appreciate how he's able to spin that into sounds that are at once reverential and future-forward. This doesn't happen on every track, but when it does, it's something special.
-
From the Cradle to the Rave has a high cool factor, almost too cool; perfect for any semi-ironic hipster party.
-
This is functional, workmanlike music built out of sturdy analog technology. For home listening and for the club, this is useful music to have around.
