DFA heavyweight Shit Robot plays a one off intimate gig in one of the city's newest music spots. Numbers at the gig will be limited to 100 people capacity only. One of the DFA originals, Shit Robot cut his teeth as a DJ in NYC through the ‘90s and early 2000s alongside the likes of James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and Luke Jenner of The Rapture, curating renowned nights like Plant.

It was at Plant Bar that Marcus and DFA's James Murphy started their now infamous Shit Robot party, named after Murphy's crap robot drawing. Irishman Marcus Lambkin, or Shit Robot, has since moved to Stuttgart and has been producing on the DFA label, putting out a string of acclaimed 12 inches - like Dondolo's 'Dragon' on Tiny Sticks and the 'Large Room Full Of People' promo.

Shit Robot productions have been featured on mixes from luminaries such as Radio Slave, Shir I Khan and Rub N Tug's Fabric compilation, while his cut ‘Simple Things (Work It Out)’ is a great offering of nu-school disco that featured in many discerning critics' year end best of lists from 2009 and was reworked by Todd Terje among others.

A favourite among chinstrokers and party monsters alike, expect Shit Robot's studio album to be released in early 2010 alongside remixes for the likes of Kaos, The Juan Maclean and Simian Mobile Disco.

His gig in an Realt Dearg should be a night of super heavy-slash-fun electronic sounds traversing disco, tech and house from one of the dance world's best, with Generic People DJs on support.

Shit Robot plays an Realt Dearg on Friday 5 February at 7pm till late with a pocket friendly €5 entry. How can you say no?
