A new project from two veterans of the industry, icons of the NYC underground: Trztn (owner of the idiosyncratic Pinksock Records label; collaborator with FM Einheit, Electro Atomu, Dr.Walker and Khan (Bedroom Productions); founder of the seminal New York band Flux Information Sciences) and Mr. Christopher Pravdica (bass player in The Supreme Dicks, Flux Information Sciences and the Gunga Din). SERVICES have played live with the YEAH YEAH YEAHS, INTERPOL, PANSONIC, GOGOL

The anticipated first single from SERVICES' album "Your Desire Is My Business". A-side features a dance-rockin' remix by the highly sought after production duo MSTRKRFT (DFA 1979).

After two successful dance singles, "You're My Disco" and "Fashionist", WALDORF introduce their debut full-length which includes the new single "Get Ready for Your Last Dance".

The result is a retro-musical odyssey, like an up-beat and danceable version of Pink Floyd's "The Wall". A throwback to classic disco with smooth
