Good evening my little bats, 

Here you will find my annual Halloween mix! This one was recorded live with the original 45s in one take at 3AM on OCTOBER 22, 2013. Play this at your Halloween parties and. if you live in New York, come on out to SECRET PROJECT ROBOT on OCTOBER 31 to dance to these fine platters and many more at midnight on Halloween at the annual NY Night Train HAUNTED HOP!

Booooo....whahahahaha,
Jonathan Toubin

NY Night Train 2013 HAUNTED HOP Halloween Mix

The Jazz Workshop With Nick Hosier On Stomp Radio Episode 557

Solid Steel in association with Serato (10th June)In Hour 2 we welcome back Recloose to Solid Steel having first featured in 2002, the same year his seminal album Cardiology was released on Carl Craig's legendary Planet E label and 
 you can hear this mix at SolidSteel.net . Releases followed on Rush Hour, Peacefrog and Delusions of Grandeur and now after a 3 year break, he's back on Aus Music with his new Honey Rocks EP and he told us;
"'Jump Up Get Down' is a club oriented mix I laid down at Studio 2, our artist space in Brooklyn. I wanted to capture some new energy following a great weekend at Detroit’s Movement festival and several months of DJing in NYC with my radio cohorts from Hit It & Quit It (Henry Maldonado aka Son of Sound, Private Panther, and NZ’s finest Frank Booker). Watch out for new heat from Son of Sound, Jamal Moss, Kenny Dope, Kink, Black Noi$e, intermingled with some lesser known Detroit classics and fresh favorites. I used Serato DJ to mix and execute some basic edits and chops (using Slicer, FX, key shifting) plus broke out the disco box for some extra frosting. Its just about 14 years to the day since my last appearance on Solid Steel, sorry for the wait... Great to be back for a sequel!"

Liebe Grüsse ! <3 Radio Vampiro Berlin

Transmisiones Cumbieras Vol. 2. : Cumbias salvadoreñas!

Thought I’d let the mix breathe on its own so no voice-overs and interruptions this time around, but don’t worry back on the mic on the next one!

90 minutes of heaviness featuring the boogie beats of Buscrates, John Carroll Kirby’s latest single on Stones Throw featuring Eddie Chacon, Moodymann’s remix of the Sun Palace’s classic “Rude Movements”, Jordan Rakei with the return of his alter ego Dan Kye forthcoming on Rhythm Section International. a couple of tracks from the latest Potatohead People album, Daniel Maunick with a jazz house banger, Soul Supreme with a great rendition of Tony Palkovic’s “Born with a Desire”, a little tribute to the late great Ira Sullivan and as always much, much more inside the mix…

Hope you enjoy it!

BALANCE - Show #557 (Hosted by Spacewalker)

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I'm Shatter Hands, hailing from Svendborg, Denmark. I'm mainly in to production, but I've been DJ'ing and scratching since the mid '00's. Raised on Portishead and DJ Shadow, but born again via the so-called beat scene of the '10's. Autodidact digger with a collection of ca. 1500 pieces. Not too many 7's but they've become my fav format in recent years. My collection consists mainly of instrumental beats, rap, some house and jazz, past and present.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

I used to skip the 7 bins when I was digging and now I blame myself. I've come to love the format because of the size and portability, the labels and their artwork and not having to skip through tracks when DJ'ing.

3) 50 minutes of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

News of MF DOOM's passing really got to me, so I'm starting out, and ending, with him and Madlib. In between you'll find beats, rap and some psych/fuzz/heavy on the drums kinda stuff. It's a short mix, given the size of my collection, but It'll give you an idea of what I listen to and play these days. 

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

You can find me on

45/7 #76 ARTIST: SHATTER HANDS

"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)

"The most-liked man in the soul music scene" (Rolling Stone)

"Jonathan is pretty much the only DJ we actually like." (VICE)

"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)

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... 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 Critics Choice Award, 2015)

"BEST DJ" (Village Voice "Best of NYC" Readers' Choice Award 2014)

"Jonathan Toubin is the reigning king of the sweaty, non-stop super-fun dance party" (Paper Magazine)

"Jonathan Toubin is a multihypenate in every sense of the word... Toubin fuses obscure rhythm and blues from the '50s and '60s, with rock 'n' roll and soul 45s. His ongoing New York Night Train parties easily draw those typically found sulking in corners of bars out onto the dance floor." (Interview Magazine)

"Jonathan Toubin is New York rock and soul DJ who plays his collection of original 45rpm records to packed dance floors all over the world." (BBC World Service)

"Most fun ever!... Jonathan Toubin is one of our all time favorite DJs who spins rare 45s and travels around the world making people happy" (BUST Magazine)

"The long-running Soul Clap remains one of the sweatiest dance parties to be experienced in New York City. Fueled by his rare and raucous 45s collection, DJ Jonathan Toubin draws on raw soul and the most feral strains of rock 'n' roll from the early 1960s to power the nights." (Wall Street Journal)

"Few people recognize the roaring, crackling songs; even fewer can really dance the blues. It doesn’t matter. The evening’s not about proving you know the most obscure records or looking good; it’s about some kind of soul-shaking alchemy. Before you know it, it’s the opening scene of “Dirty Dancing,” all swerving hips and bare shoulders—you would’ve sworn you’d be the last to dance, but there you are, breathless.... Spellbound bodies slip into the song’s shuffling rhythm, and Toubin reaches for the next bit of black magic." (The New Yorker)

"Soul Clap is the most popular soul dance party in the world, playing to more people in more places than any other... Toubin plays all original soul 45s from the 1960s and uncommon upbeat cuts." (SXSW Music News)



"Indeed, Toubin's 45 r.p.m. record-fueled, rock-and-soul heavy dance parties were some of the best, sweatiest nights we've had in this city." (Gothamist)

"Jonathan Toubin is the only person we can call a "professional DJ" without involuntarily making a jack-off motion with our hand... His parties are like what Ancient Stonehenge was like if it was, as archaeologists theorize, filled with people dressed many times better than you completely losing their shit." (VICE)
