After months of healing in Portland, Jonathan Toubin is finally ready to come home and get back to work.

His OFFICIAL WELCOME BACK PARTY is SUNDAY, MAY 6 at BROOKLYN BOWL in the form of a NY Night Train HAPPENING – all-night multi-media dance party/spectacle. It will feature a cast that includes some of Toubin’s favorite regular collaborators/friends. And, at the DJ’s request, the night will be absolutely FREE thanks to a sponsorship from the good folks at Brooklyn Brewery! Read about it in Pitchfork…
