Marcus Lambkin began DJing in 1992 after leaving Dublin for NYC, where he got together with some friends to play dance music on a Sunday night at the now famous rock venue, Brownies. After learning the ropes at Brownies, Marcus made a mix tape and handed it out to three venues in the hopes of getting some work. He got three gigs, which went on to become two residencies. One of which was the now legendary Save The Robots, where Marcus was resident for 2 years. During this time he met fellow Irishman Dominique Keegan and formed Plant Records, Plant Saturdays and Plant Bar. It was at Plant Bar that Marcus and DFA's James Murphy started the Shit Robot party, named after James' crap robot drawing? In 2004, Marcus left Plant to work independently and moved to Stuttgart with his wife.
