Shit Robot / Simple Things (work It Out - Todd Terje Mix)

DFA

After the release of Chasm and Wrong Galaxy, Shit Robot (a.k.a. Marcus Lambkin) had listeners' ears burning for more. Simple Things is his much-anticipated new single released by his good friends at DFA Records. Born in Ireland, Lambkin was drawn in by the club scene at a young age, where he delved into such bands as The Buzzcocks and The Dead Kennedys. This soon led to his discovery of acid house in the '80s. After moving to New York, a chance meeting with the up-and-coming electro-disco legend James Murphy put Lambkin on his way to becoming one of the top DJs in NYC. While their friendship developed, Lambkin moved back to Europe and formed Shit Robot. His latest 12-inch, Simple Things, is the freshest in a long line of DFA greats.  When it came to the remix, Lambkin enlisted Todd Terje to revamp the US version of his single. Originally from Oslo, Terje employs subtle yet brilliant production skills to make "Simple Life (Work It Out)" a remix on any disco fanatic's play list.  The new tracks here feature the perfectly haunting vocals of Washington, DC indie legend Ian Svenonius, the voice of The Make Up, Nation of Ulysses, and Weird War. Lambkin accompanies his vocals perfectly with an elegant yet gritty synthetic genius. Delivering a steady heart-throbbing bass line and an array of pleasantly surprising and memorable acidic sounds, Shit Robot's Simple Life offers a glimpse into the future of music.
