New York Night Train DJ Mr. Jonathan Toubin talks about his accident for the first time to Rolling Stone
Posted 02/01/2012 at 6:03am
Our beloved friend and Dj Mr. Jonathan Toubin has been released from the hospital and is currently recovering in Portland, OR after being hit by taxicab in his hotel room while sleeping this past Dec 8, 2011. The tragic accident created a movement of human compassion and kindness that has touched us all. Thousands of people have come together to support Jonathan in his time of need including artists like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jon Spencer, Neil Hamburger, Ty Segall, Bleached, and Margaret Cho performing at benefits to raise money on his behalf.
Jonathan recently spoke to
Rolling Stone about his experience post the accident. Jonathan has an incredible energy that brings people together both in his regular day to day life and on the dance floor. He's brought an amazing presence and refreshing creative force to our agency. He lives like he DJs—pushing the EQ and volume to its limit, fully defining "maximum rock and soul." We are excited to hear that he's on the road to recovery and look forward to announcing future New York Night Train events.

Royal Baths premiers new video "Faster, Harder" on Stereogum!
Feb 7, 2012
Royal Baths’ single “Faster, Harder” is an ode to a fucked up relationship: “I love my damaged girl / We share a wicked world,” repeats the singer as the song churns along, following the female protagonist into darker and darker places. By the end, the singer has fully succumbed to this wicked world, giving up his body for the cause.

“If you haven’t seen them in a while, the band dropped the dissonance in favor of a sound under the influenced of late ‘80s Manchester.”
Dinowalrus Shares New Track "Phone Home from the Edge" on Stereogum
Jan 20, 2012
This past summer in Queens they recorded nine songs for their second album with Matt Walsh of the Forms. Our first taste is the colorfully percussive, hypnotic “Phone Home from the Edge.” Sonically, it’s smoother than what I’ve heard previously, sorta like co-vocalist/guitarist Pete Feigenbaum is mind-melding with his “synthwave” side-project OPTMSM.
