For the eighth year in a row, mad scientist / NY Night Train soul proprietor Jonathan Toubin retired to his laboratory to concoct the ultimate score for your Halloween season. Conjured from the dee jay’s own original 45s, this year’s mix is a dance party full of hits and misses, classics and obscurities, canonical musicians and horror show hosts. The three dimensions, the good, the bad, and the ugly are all Frankensteined together. This island of misfit tracks take you on a fantastic voyage deep into nightmares, madness, witchcraft, voodoo, and zombie lifestyle. Make this the soundtrack to your October.
