Jonathan Toubin and his New York Night Train party machine’s persistent nightly work have carved out a unique space in contemporary culture and influenced scores of DJs and parties everywhere. While best known for throwing the world’s most popular and prolific soul party, the Soul Clap and Dance-Off, and NYC’s biggest and longest-running weekly rock ’n roll dance, Shakin’ All Over Under Sideways Down!, he’s also spent the last decade turning over 2,000 gigs at hundreds of nightclubs, art spaces, all-ages warehouses, rock concerts, and dozens of major music festivals on five continents.
