Description:

The End of the Night is a new weekly exploration into sound and movement. The End of the Night will feature a far-reaching selection of long-form, challenging, left of dance, music for sure-footed dancers and adventurous listeners. Songs will be played in full, for the most part, with little mixing, in the tradition of David Mancuso/The Loft.

The name refers to the music being what you might usually only hear at the end of the night, when both the dj and the dancers have more room to stretch out.

House dance scene fixture/documentarienne Amanda Adams Louis, aka Lafotographeuse, will be on hand to capture the energy for posterity.

I am super excited to begin this journey. All that wish to come along are welcome. I want to nurture a community/family vibe, and a safe, exploring space for dancers and listeners who are open to a wide range of music. To say that there will be nothing commercial is an understatement. There will hardly be "classics". What there will be, or what I am endeavoring to bring to this, is a breath of fresh air, music you may know, music you may not, and my passion for good music of all kinds. To even mentions genres would be antithetical to the freeform nature of the party. Quality, creativity, beauty, love, respect, and the pulse, be it loud or soft, fast or slow, will rule the day.

I want to say explicitly, since it is one of the main things that has been lost in the commercialization of nightlife culture, that diversity and inclusiveness of all kinds (age, gender, heritage, orientation, nationality, etc.) are absolutely necessary for the success, in my mind, of this endeavor. That means that you, whoever and wherever you are, are warmly invited.

I know this is an unlikely and Utopian endeavor, and that's exactly the kind of party I hope to build with you.

-Ben Goldfarb aka DJ Scribe

The End of the Night
DJ Scribe
I Love Vinyl Founder DJ Scribe spins dynamic sets from the heart, ranging from deep soul to dancefloor killers, acoustic jazz to glitch-hop and techno. But a list of genres doesn't do justice to describing his repertoire because, for Scribe, it's all about the right feeling.

Spinning full-time since 2002, he taught himself how to mix on live radio on WOBC FM at Oberlin College in Ohio, where he then began to cut his teeth as a dj at house parties and campus events, eventually opening for A Tribe Called Quest in front of 3,000 people. It was the first show of their groundbreaking Low End Theory Tour.

Scribe has developed numerous acclaimed residencies: Love Revolution at Joe's Pub; Tag, in partnership with Wax Poetics Magazine; Stone Soup in conjunction with BBE Records; Soulnado, at the world-famous Knitting Factory, a joint effort with DJ Busquelo; and one of the most respected parties at Miami's annual Winter Music Conference since 2006: the Raw Fusion Miami party. In 2006, Scribe and partner OP! (Suite 903) founded Nu-iSh, a multifaceted venture dedicated to representing, supporting, and exposing the best new music. In 2008, Scribe and OP!, under the Nu-iSh umbrella, launched the monthly instant smash Raw Fusion NYC, the New York arm of the Raw Fusion franchise, at APT, one of NYC's top dj venues.

He has also shared the marquee at live music venues like the Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, SOB's and Joe's Pub with Floetry, Roy Ayers, Black Eyed Peas, Scratch of The Roots, Omar, Eve, Dwele, Les Nubians, Stephanie McKay, Antibalas, Little Dragon, Chin Chin and others; moved the crowd all over Western and Eastern Europe; and traveled extensively within the US and Canada, including multiple appearances at the annual Candela Art and Music Festival in Puerto Rico, Winter Music Conference, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival.
