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

WNYU 89.1 FM NY or WNYU.org or iTunes

I was just about to go to bed on this obnoxiously wet evening when I remembered that I had a bit of self-promotion to do.

As mentioned previously, Momo and I took over WNYU’s Bentwave program last night.  Due to my current overload of suit-and-tie tasks and my related need for a good night’s rest, we forwent our usual tagteaming and divided the show into an early (me) and late (Momo) set.  The resulting show provides an excellent example of the different styles and interests we bring to the table for our increasingly eclectic MO/RDAN sets at Full Service.

Here’s how it all went down:

10:30-11:45ish: HERR JORDAN

Martyn – “Yet” (Tectonic)

Stimming – “Fruits of Life” (Diynamic)

Cab Drivers – “Seat Belt” (Cabinet)

Untold – “Dante” (Hotflush)

Ramadanman – “Humber” (Apple Pips)

Isolee – “October” (Diynamic)

Norman Nodge – “ManMade” (MDR)

Marcel Dettmann – “Plain” (Beatstreet)

Seth Troxler – “Love Never Sleeps” (Crosstown Rebels)

Minimal Man – “Make A Move Pt. 1″ (Trelik) *ultimate Full Service jam*

CH-Signal Laboratories (8003 Lucerne) – “Scale 2″ (Sandwell District)

The Chain – “Geo” (R & S)

Roswell Return – “IFTODEX C0001″ (SD)

Audion – “I am the Car” (audion.me)

(mic interlude, wherein I refer to the Trelik label as “eternal”)

11:45-1AM: MOMO ARAKI

Quantec – “The Entire Structure” (Meanwhile)

Sven Weisemann – “Kiss of Abana” (Mojuba)

Move D – “Untitled (feat. Fragment)” (Workshop)

Liberty City – “Some Lovin’” (TRIBAL America)

Chateau Flight – “Cosmic Race” (Versatile)

Daniel Lui – “Surface One” (Chair) *I am eternally jealous of this A1 Records find*

I think I just needed a week where I could come home from my shirt-and-tie job and not feel obligated to jump immediately onto something else.  Sometimes, if your roommate is lounging on the couch and asks if you got the next Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVD in the mail, you want to say “Hell motherfucking yeah” and commence in some chillage without the slightest tinge of guilt or anxiety.  (You see, Sliu, I do write about you on here.)  And it’s never a good sign when the fact that my turntables sit atop something that West Elm markets as a desk starts feeling deeply ironic.

But as this hands-off-my-decks week draws to a close, I feel refreshed.  Techno might be slightly more than a hobby for me, but sifting through Hard Wax’s RSS feed and pumping bass in my bedroom every evening (and in the clubs when I’m lucky) isn’t exactly a miserable existence.  Perspective is everything, and making my Technics sleep on the couch for awhile got me some.

(Listening to Stimming’s fantastic new album Reflections helped a good deal as well.  Yes, that is a seeerious recommend right there.)

Luckily, I’ve been given the chance to jump right back into the swing of things.  This Monday night (as in tomorrow), MO/RDAN will be taking to WNYU’s hallowed studios for a special set on Bentwave.  Expect a whole lot of new 4/4, as per Bentwave’s mandate, as well as some classic sounds and fast tempos, as per MO/RDAN’s mandate.  If you’ve been reading this blog, you probably know the drill: 89.1 FM in NYC, WNYU.org everywhere else, 10:30-1AM eastern time.

Lastly, Full Service will be taking April off in preparation for RAEV X — you got that right, we’re on our TENTH FUCKING PARTY — on Saturday, May 23.  Watch this space for more details, but be forewarned: you will be having a profoundly sleepless night in about six weeks, and it will be all my fault.
