REVIEW: Shit Robot, Friday
Atmosphere: A large smoke-machine clouded hangar with a building crowd of occasionally unstable dancers vibing to what is possibly Ireland's finest dance export since Aphex Twin and David Holmes.
High: Marcus Lambkin's technical prowess and his smart, dark flipping to light tunes. Guest video-vocals from Hot Chip and James Murphy. Shit Robot makes innovative electronic music appear effortless.
Low: Some randomer handing out flyers for another festival.
Quote of the set: "Woah" - people thinking there was an ACTUAL robot playing.
Overall: The best visuals (especially the space ship) coupled with a brilliant stage set up featuring Lambkin's trademark light-up robot head and wonderfully constructed music. Even the other DJs watching from the side of the stage were mouthing, "God, he's good."
Stars: **** out of 5.
