Career
Working as a DJ in New York in 2000 he befriended James Murphy later of LCD Soundsystem and started a DJ partnership with him.[2] Lambkin moved to rural Germany in 2004 and started producing his own music, with a number of releases on DFA Records from 2006.[2] He released his debut album From the Cradle to the Rave in September 2010 to positive reviews from Entertainment.ie[3] and NME[4] The album features contributions from Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip and James Murphy amongst others.[2]
Lambkin remains somewhat of an analog loyalist, sticking mainly to vinyl when playing out. This attitude is reflected in the sound of the album, a dark and beautiful record that harks back to the early days of dance music. “I’m still influenced by the early days of acid house, that mixed with my punk upbringing, Killing Joke and things like that”, he says. “Early acid house, early techno, that does it for me. There’s a vibe to them which is really fresh that I’m always trying to capture but still still make it relevant to today so it doesn’t become pastiche.” With its combination of vintage influences in its composition and the ridiculously cool heads of DFA at the mixing desk, the album does truly bring together the best of both worlds, at once classic and modern.
With constant DJing all over the world taking up his weekends and the small matter of making an album filling the weekdays, Lambkin is a busy man. Working from his home in Stuttgart, his touring takes him pretty much everywhere. “Back to Japan next month, hoping to go to Australia in January”. So any favourites? “Japan would probably be my favourite, Brazil too. I’m developing a real love affair for France. Italy’s great because it’s the food, the weather, the people are great too.” And how about the hometown? “I love coming back here believe it or not, it’s always good to get home anyway. There’s always great fun, lots of laughing and it’s always in a great spirit. It’s always good to see Mom too!”
Marcus Lambkin (born 1971) better known by the pseudonym Shit Robot is an Irish electronic musician and DJ.

Staring at the ceiling

The lyrics of Shit Robot's song "I Found Love" are about the discovery of love in a discotheque. The repetition of the phrase "I found love" emphasizes the impact of this discovery on the singer. The use of the phrase "ha ha ha" suggests a sense of excitement and joyfulness. The lyrics imply that the people around the singer might not believe that he found love in such a venue, but the singer knows the truth.
The first verse of the song implies that the singer has found love in a discotheque, although others might not believe him. The second verse elaborates on this by describing the scene more specifically. The singer saw someone with their hair in their eyes, looking up at the ceiling. This suggests a sense of disconnection or introspection, which the singer then interrupts by "finding" them. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the continued joy of the singer's discovery of love.
The lyrics of "I Found Love" suggest a sense of carefreeness and joyfulness, which is appropriate for a dance song. The idea of finding love in a discotheque is also fitting for the genre, as many electronic dance songs are about the joy of dancing and finding connections with others on the dancefloor.
