“Space Race” is the b-side to a new 12″ single written by Irish music producer Marcus Lambkin, a.k.a. Shit Robot. It’s being released through DFA records, and follows Robot’s 2010 album, From the Cradle To the Rave.
While “Space Race” features a sharp, crisp, and punchy dance groove, there’s something sci-fi about the glossy synths that slide flawlessly against the rhythms here. You could probably compare it to any number of soundtracks attached to space-themed movies released in the 80s. You could compare it to Zombi or Vangelis as well, sure, but those artists don’t make me want to dance until the sun comes up. That, my friend, is what’s happening here.
What do you think?
