Total Shit

Shit Robot's new album From the Cradle to the Rave is out today on DFA.  I was lucky enough to get a preview of the LP late last year, and I was blown away.  It's full of warm, fuzzy analog synths and vocals from all yr favorites.   Stream the whole thing at XLR8R and check out Shit Robot's new Cake Mix on Soundcloud.

Shit Robot

I am thrilled to have Shit Robot at Too Much Love tomorrow.  His latest single, "Simple Things (Work It Out)" has been an anthem of sorts for this year, and I love listening to his DJ sets.  He has a fantastic take on production and house music, so I can't wait for tomorrow.  More details at the TML blog.

The Bot was the guest on Beats in Space this week, where he and James Murphy gave TML a small shout-out.  Definitely listen to his set on BiS, and check out his "Simply Shit" mix on XLR8R.

Shit Robot began his mix with LCD Soundsystem's latest track, a cover of Alan Vega's "Bye Bye Bayou" which you can stream on MySpace.  Vega's Suicide has come up more and more often as a reference point for music I enjoy - I heard the Horrors have been ending shows with "Ghost Rider" - so I was really not surprised when this song popped into my life.  It's a driving synth work out, with expertly delayed vocals, and what sounds like helicopters descending in Vietnam.

IT'S THE (SAME) BEAT

This Simian Mobile Disco remix thing is out of control. They keep re-releasing the same singles with new remixes (we could possibly call it Chromeo syndrome), and I would totally mind except they keep picking my favorite producers and DJs, to the point where it's getting ridiculous. A remix album sounds like too much, but check the people they lined up for it... from Shit Robot's MySpace:
