WHAT?
THE SUBWAY SOUL CLUB is a fun, vibrant, monthly dance party in Manhattan that features up-beat 1960's Northern Soul, Motown, Boogaloo and Organ grooves on vintage vinyl. Our Philosophy? Heck, We just wanna dance!!
WHAT MUSIC IS SPUN?
Our music policy is Sixties Soul music that appeals to the enthusiastic record buff and general fan of sixties music alike. Every month resident DJ Phast Phreddie The Boogaloo Omnibus is joined by guest DJs who are selected from the best in their field from across the States with renowned guest DJs from across the globe. They'll wow you with their rare vinyl and popular 'floor fillers.' But you don't have to know a thing about this music to have a great time. We like to keep it up-beat and keep YOU dancing!
WHAT'S THE CROWD LIKE?
Our crowd includes mods, soulies, scooterists and hipsters of all ages. You will see a colorful array of mod dressers, but there is no dress code. As British hostess Lady Dawn was quoted in Crunch magazine, "We are delighted if people want to dress up, but it's really all about the music. You can wear a lamp shade on your head if you want!" (Though so far no one has taken us up on this.)
