TORONTO: GARAGENOIR pop up venue presentsNew York Night Train SOUL CLAP & DANCE OFF!60s soul vinyl dance w/NYC's DJ Jonathan Toubin / New York Night Train and THE SURFRAJETTES https://www.facebook.com/thesurfrajettes/ 12AM $100 Dance Contest w/a colorful cast of judges SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2017, 9pm - 2am CATCH THEE CLAP! "This 45 hoarder made soul music fun again with his Soul Clap & Dance Off parties, where five-hour sets of rare grooves and B-sides provided a fleshy alternative to the club scene’s industrial snarl. Instead of bucking the trends of American pop music for some underground alternative, Toubin has made his name by embracing pop’s connective tissue, tracing the rhythm and blues, soul, and rock and roll of the nineteen-fifties and sixties. (The New Yorker, 2016) Jonathan Toubin was awarded "BEST DJ" in the Village Voice 60th anniversary "BEST OF NYC": "We might live in an EDM world, but Jonathan Toubin has no truck with today's musical whims. Since 2007, Toubin's Soul Clap and Dance-Off has brought throwback pizzazz and retro cool to New York's late-night underground. Culled from an endless array of long-forgotten Sixties soul singles, Soul Clap is pure musical dynamite, the kind of after-hours party that exposes today's iTunes-bred, press-play DJs for their relative lack of roots and ingenuity. No fist-bumps or atomic bass drops here; instead, Toubin lovingly crafts five-hour sets that bring lost chestnuts from the likes of Vernon Harrell and the Blendells into clearer focus for a new generation of dance enthusiasts. You can try to put your moves to better use, but you'll be hard-pressed to find more cathartic, sweatier fun elsewhere in the city." (Village Voice, 2015) Jonathan is pretty much the only DJ we actually like.” (VICE Magazine, 2014) "Particularly chic... one of the most popular spinners in Williamsburg and the founder of the New York Night Train dance parties. His fare is already cleaner and more appreciative of American pop music history than much of the rest." (NY Times, 2013) "The most-liked man in the soul music scene" (Rolling Stone, 2012) Ask your local record store for Jonathan Toubin's LP compilations on Norton Records and his tapes on Burger Records! hear JT's NY Night Train Party Platters on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/user/newyorknighttrain
