Shit Robot is like one of those ever elusive characters in dance music but maybe thats just due to a lack of online content, hard to tell sometimes you know. The history I remember hearing is that Marcus Lambkin (SR) originally worked in punk circles until James Murphy lent him a bunch of old drum machines and let him figure it out. While that’s probably fiction, it would explain the raw dancefloor sound sounds he’s become associated with over the years (rockers make notoriously great dj’s such as Edu-K and Dave Nada). It’d probably be more accurate for me to just say Marcus met James while running club nights in New York and well, the rest is DFA history. ‘Wrong Galaxy‘, his first record going back a few years, blew minds with it’s mix of rough drums and loud arpeggiated synths but it was this remix of Kaos‘s Panopeeps that first put him on my radar (buy). If I had a nightclub based on a disused space station drifting through distant galaxies that’d be my soundtrack. Here’s a little something else he sent through for us to anticipation up his upcoming Scatterfest appearance. It’s his burning remix of ‘No Time’ by Juan Maclean, get it while it’s hot.

Well, they have been way friggin nice and invited us, the infamous blog nerds and dance floor crushers SCATTERBLOG to deliver on some filth. This is going to be one mega fun co-lab, so come party-drink and dance with a fat chick this thursday at Ding Dong (addy above).

SET-TIMES
9-10: Dublin Aunts
10-11: Lewis Cancut
11-12: Mat Cant
12-1: Mu-Gen
1-close: Scattermish

I hear Dublin Aunts are gonna provide some freaky party disco shiz. We are gonna provide the ruckus via club, kuduro, funky, hip hop, grime and all things ghetto. I know Mat has made a cheeky edit of hip hop superstar Bangs he’s gonna drop, think Lewis will prob end up in hospital from some sort of tragic dagga incident, Scatters is most def gonna drink his weight in whiskey and well me,? I’m gonna spend the whole night rubbing myself as i just got a new velvet jumper.. POW!

Not gonna leave without giving up a track or two…… The Shaun-D joint is straight heat. First time I heard it I lost my shit, about a week later I was like “not sure”, then I lost my shit once more, so now I’m posting it before I think its “meh” again. It’s a bubbling-kuduro number with air horns, crazy synth and a dash of ze bula vox. Just download it! The Ghislain tune is hard arse dance hall-ragga. Wish I had more sets to play this kind of heat.
