Shit Robot has unveiled details of a new live show alongside a limited edition 12 inch. Real name Marcus Lambkin, Shit Robot is one of the hidden heroes of DFA Records. A hugely respected DJ and sound engineer, he has been involved in countless projects without ever taking centre stage.

Using the name Shit Robot, the producer began to find a focus for his tracks. Veering between disparate influences, debut album 'From The Cradle To The Rave' was a deeply eclectic display of production.

Containing a raft of guest appearances, despite the intrusion of members of LCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip what shone through was the sheer imagination of Shit Robot's production.
