Youth. Over time, Toubin began doing most of the nights alone and wound up doing a weekly residency that lasted until ending with his accident in 2011.On these early New York Night Train nights, Toubin played primarily punk, 1960s garage, psychedelic rock, noise rock, girl groups, surf, Blues, Rockabilly, and country. Gradually, he began incorporating the soul and r&b records that he would later become known for. Building off of the success of the New York Night Train Wednesdays, Toubin started holding larger dance parties at Glasslands in Williamsburg. These included Happenings at the Live With Animals gallery, a multi-media art project/party, and his Soul Clap And Dance-Off. In 2007, he made the decision to use 45 rpm exclusively in order to elevate the quality of his parties and concentrate more on unique record curation. He went on to produce events all over New York City including Thursday Thump at Enid's, Boogaloo Shampoo at Beauty Bar, Land of a Thousand Dances, the Ya-Ya Yacht parties, and Shaking all Over Sideways and Down at Home Sweet Home. Car accident On December 7, 2011, Jonathan arrived in Portland, where he was booked to play the fifth anniversary party of the "I've Got A Hole in my Soul" dance party at club "Rotture". The next morning at approximately 11:00am, a cab driver was struck with a diabetic seizure and drove her taxi through the windowed wall of Toubin's hotel room, landing atop of him as he lay in bed. Four men lifted the stuck car over what was left of the smashed wall to allow a hotel employee to back the car off of Toubin and he was rushed to the Oregon Health & Science University Hospital. He suffered from crushed lungs, twelve broken ribs, a smashed scapula, a broken pelvis, severed tendons in his right arm and hand, a punctured spleen, a damaged pancreas, and loss of hearing in his left ear. While in an induced coma, Toubin went through five surgeries and developed pneumonia the following week. Toubin made a full recovery and was released on January 13, 2012 into a rehabilitation center, where he considered the probability of the end of his life as a DJ. While in the hospital, a benefit was held for Toubin at the Brooklyn Bowl, where a host of major label acts performed including the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers, and
