JONATHAN TOUBIN 

Jonathan Toubin has become a popular touring DJ from New York without playing any contemporary genre. And without playing the hits. He instead made his name relentlessly experimenting with new ways to spin original exquisite 1950s and 1960s rock and soul 45s in nightclubs, colleges, and festivals everywhere. His Soul Clap and Dance-Off isn’t only one of the 21st Century’s most notable wingdings, but also the world’s most popular and prolific soul party. And his Shakin’ All Over Under Sideways Down is the New York’s longest-running and most popular rock’n’roll dance.

Of his many firsts, he’s the first DJ to have an entire night devoted to his own dance party at Lincoln Center and also the first DJ to have an entire official night at Austin’s South By Southwest (five out of the last six years), the first 45 DJ at Bonnaroo Festival (twice), the first 45 DJ at All Tomorrow’s Parties (five times), the first 45 DJ with mix tapes on Burger Records (two), and the first living DJ with compilations on the legendary Norton Records (four).

BABYSHAKES 

Babyshakes are a rock ‘n’ roll / punk band from New York City. With catchy melodic vocals over dirty guitars and a killer rhythm section, their influences range from The Ramones, Slade, Chuck Berry, and ’60s Motown girl groups. Formed in 2005, they’ve released 4 singles, a 10” heart-shaped EP, a singles collection, and 3 LPs. They’ve toured the US, Japan, China, Ireland, and the UK. Baby Shakes have shared the stage with The Romantics, The Boys, Shadows of Knight, The Undertones, Barracudas, Protex, Black Lips, Paul Collin’s Beat, among others.

THE WORLD 

The World are five people from Oakland, California who write rambunctious dance music with a post punk tool kit and an insightful yet short attention span. They sound like the future erupting out of all your favourite DIY punk 7″s simultaneously. There’s the infectious momentum of Essential Logic driving things ever forward, the arty minimalism of Lilliput underscoring the band’s lyrical subject matter. Whilst the instinctual songwriting of Swell Maps pervades alongside the manic humour and inclusiveness of Splodge. The World use all these lightning rods as jumping on points to hurtle us all into a new dimension very much of their own making. This upsurge of energy and vision has now been skillfully captured on the band’s debut LP “First World Record,” is out on Upset The Rhythm.
