Exciting announcement, hopefully the first among many (or at least a handful)!

If memory serves, the last time the entire Full Service original lineup set up shop in a club was sometime last spring. Now allow me to blow your mind: as of Saturday, October 31, that will no longer be the case. Wreck Tech, Mike McGill b2b Tackleberry, Herr Jordan Rothlein (aka me) b2b Momo Araki (in perhaps our final appearance under our MO/RDAN moniker), and of course ultimate raev impresario Jack Inslee will be re-forming Wu-Tang style (hopefully more “Wu-Tang Forever” than “8 Diagrams”) to once again bring you our messy, eclectic, utopian vision for dance floor destruction. And because it’s Halloween, expect everything to be just a little weirder and creepier than you remember it.

To all of you naysayers who can’t get behind an incredible sound system if a Bud Light costs $8 at the bar: we feel your pain. Which is why Full Service will once again hold Raev of the Dead at Williamsburg’s epically wacky Glasslands. Beers are cheap and very good, and if memory serves, the DJ booth is underneath a massive painting of a penis or something. Put on a cracked-out costume, grab one hundred of your friends, and prepare to get mowed over by dubstep, disco, garage, house, booty rap, jungle, techno, musique concrète, hypnagogic pop, yacht rock, and probably much more.

DETAILS after the jump! And please come, dammit!

FULL SERVICE IS BACK WITH ANOTHER HALLOWEEN FRIGHT/FUCK/BASS FEST!!!!

If you came to last year’s Halloween raev at Glasslands, then I don’t need to say a word…

For the rest of you:

DISCO, BASS, GHETTO SHIT, TECHNO & DUBSTEP will pound the speakers all night but that’s just where the party starts.

The Knifeshow confetti cannon, glowsticks, trip-your-fucking-face-off visuals & a night of insanity curated by MILK OF PARADISE will keep you entertained on and off the dancefloor.

**THIS IS A COSTUME PARTY***

We will have a costume contest, and the winner will receive a big ol bottle of whisky from me personally. Dangerous prize, I know..

Full Service has been bringing you the best pretense free dance party in NYC since 2007.

LINEUP:

JACK INSLEE: <<CADILLAC MUSIC>>

MO/RDAN: <<TECHNO/DUBSTEP/HOUSE>>

MIKE McGILL& TACKLEBERRY: <<D.I.S.C.O.>>

WRECK TECH: <<BASS>>

I’m throwing my Christmas list out there early:

1. Marcus Mixx records, especially this one. It’s like the Tickle-Me-Elmo of Marcus Mixx records.

2. A new laptop. This one makes a sickly noise when I turn it on or unsleep it, one which I believe bespells doom.

3. New neighbors who are as cool about me playing music as my current neighbors are.

Alright, that’s out of the way. I’ve been pretty busy over at Little White Earbuds, so this blog hasn’t been getting so much love. But my buddy David, who runs a brand-spanking-new graphic design shop down in Florida, pimped it while I was gone, so enjoy the new high-end design flourishes. I even got myself some business cards, in the interest of trying to make myself even more busy.

Speaking of Little White Earbuds, I have something big on the way for that site, followed by something big on the way for this site, so watch out.

Also to follow: the reason why you’re penciling me in for Halloween. You’ll have to try not to get drunk as that dude up there.

I am not the most prolific blogger out there, as you may have noticed. So in the tradition of less equalling more, I will now be supplementing my work here and at LWE with the (hopefully more than) occasional tweet. Check me out at twitter.com/jordanllc or on the left-hand side of this blog.

I’m about as exhausted as a man can be whilst still functioning, but I think it’s well worth it. If you missed it live, you can find my Math + Science mix here. At the moment, it’s only available for streaming, but should I find some mp3 archive I’ll make sure to post it.  Thanks to Wreck Tech and WNYU for having me out, and thanks to all who listened last night (and to those who just might still listen).

Playlist:

Word to you people.

Tonight, I (in my Herr Jordan capacity) will be DJing the entire duration of Wreck Tech’s Math + Science Show!

Thursday, July 23, 10:30pm – 1:00 am eastern

I had the distinct pleasure this past Friday night of sitting on a bench on North 6th in Williamsburg for an inspiring chat about living and breathing techno with Marcel Dettmann. I followed this distinct pleasure with another one: listening to this literal giant of classic jams play straight into one bright, blue Fourth of July morning. You may know Marcel as the dark prince of a dance floor infamous for leathered-up public sex, but I’ll be damned if he didn’t let more than a little sunlight into his grooves this time around. The conversation has been entrusted to Little White Earbuds, so watch that space for our interview in full.

I’ve been pretty terrible about blogging/doing blogworthy things/sitting still for more than five minutes recently. Might I recommend that in the meantime you check out what I’ve been doing for Little White Earbuds?

Forthcoming: new party. Start date: early fall. Anyone have a loft (I promise I will clean afterwards!!!)? Anyone want to recommend a venue with a dance floor and cheap beer?

AND PICK UP THE NEW WIRE DAMMIT! Sherburne does an excellent, inspiring write-up on Moritz Von Oswald and his all-star Trio that will get you hella excited for Vertical Ascent, which is out at the end of next month. I’ve heard it, and if your ears are anything like mine, their little ear-brains will be fucking blown to smithereens.

As far as I know, there is no true recording of last night’s set at Full Service. Luckily, Momo and I recorded this mix — with a lot of track overlap — two nights before in my bedroom. I’d meant to put this up on Friday as a pre-Raev promotion, but a dude must sleep sometime. Considering that this is supposedly the final Full Service party in this format (sorry to be coy, I really don’t know that much more than you do), it seems almost fitting that this would run as a kind of postmortem on the style Momo and I have developed over our ten-party run: druggy house and technoid anthems, to infinity and beyond!

I usually twiddle my thumbs until a few days before the event to put up a post, but this absolutely can’t wait. The Full Service crew descends on Club Love on May 23 for RAEV X, and we’re looking to make it our loudest, sweatiest, and most glowstick-addled shindig yet. Added bonus (or major bummer, depending on your sleep habits): Mo/rdan returns to the party’s 2am-close time slot, so expect things to get a little filthy (and j-j-jackin’) before the night is finished. Dig it!

In other sweet techno news, I have just joined the writing staff at venerable dance music blog Little White Earbuds! I’ve been a daily reader of that site for quite some time now, so it will be very strange to see my own name pop up underneath a post. If you’re at all interested in reading me blabber on about the sort of music I throw down on mixes here and parties elsewhere, then be sure to watch that space. But the LLC shall live on. Podcast soon, I swear!
