A few years ago, when living in the States, New York Night Train Soul Clap & Dance-Off came to town. Despite residing in Hipville, Maine, this was still the most exciting event of the year.

Since then, Jonathan Toubin has become a living legend and if there were such a thing as a hipster knighthood, you’d be calling him Sir. Keeping the faith of Northern Soul alive with the most shakin’ records one collection can hold, the dance-off is no ordinary night out let me tell you.

The event started out amongst Jonathan’s Brooklyn posse and has become one of the most beloved club nights in New York while Jonathan’s collection of 7-inch soul, rockabilly, R&B, blues, and rock ’n’ roll rarities has grown to the size of Rhode Island. Don’t miss this unique chance to catch the club in a rare appearance in Europe and break out your moves to Jonathan’s arsenal of danceable tunes.
