Tubway
40 W 8th Street
New York, NY 10011
Born in the dark and sleazy basement of Mr. Black, Tubway has survived the demise of the Soho dance club and become a New York staple of the gay party scene.
Tubway is an experience in itself quite hard to describe. Although two of its residents DJ’s, Gant Johnson and Nita Aviance, are undeniably white, the party is drenched in black soul and driven by black house beats. Conceptual and irresistible, puzzling and mesmerizing, the strange energy which emanates from the speakers and permeates the minds of the dancers drives everyone into an odd frenzy. It causes, among the crowd, spontaneous outbreaks of voguing battles, riveting scenes of runway show-downs, sudden episodes of break dancing, and other cases of manic possession.
Hosted by the colorful Xander Aviance, Tubway is patronized by many children from the houses of Aviance and Xtravaganza. With so many creative spirits congregating in one room, it is hard to foresee what kind of turn the event may take.
The only sure thing is that the beats will be fierce, the mix will be bold, and the crowd eclectic. Only in New York!
