Toribio’s got something for your soul—and dat ass.
A triple threat who lights up a room when behind the decks, in the studio, and on stage, Toribio is a lifelong student of rhythm. Analyzing melodies and chords with a musician's ear, the Dominican-American artist blends different genres and moods in all his creative pursuits–DJing, producing, singing, playing instruments, and even his skills on the mic.
Thanks to a childhood spent playing in church and jazz drumming, the Florida-born, New York-based act has a natural sense of harmony. He takes on the role of musical cartographer in his live house fusion band, Conclave, whose debut album was named one of Resident Advisor's best in 2021 and praised by both Rolling Stone and the New Yorker. Acting as the ensemble's bandlander, vocalist, and key instrumentalist, Toribio connects jazz, soul, and house from various cultures with style and grace.
His speciality in sonic connections are especially tangible in his DJing. Gliding from pan-Latin club to raw electro to jazz to old-school funk, his sets are a masterclass in building energy and tension. Whether playing Boiler Room or clubs in Mexico City and Tokyo, he knows how to work a crowd with selections and transitions that are as precise as they are powerful. As a producer, his edits and originals are DJ weapons, rinsed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Rich Medina, and Theo Parrish. His original tracks have been remixed by the likes of Louie Vega, Joe Claussell, and DJ Spinna.
Known for fostering community through movement, his Brooklyn block parties (Public Service NYC) embody the spirit of New York’s dance culture while his newly formed imprint B.D.A. is quickly becoming known for bringing these vibes to vinyl. A Toribio show is a full-body experience—as he always says, “bring dat ass, and your feet will follow.”
Conclave is a live musical gathering of rotating musicians headed by Cesar Toribio.
Public Service is a summertime outdoor party for the people by the people. Brought to you by Toribio & Mickey Pérez.
BDA is a record label and party series that believes music is the great unifer and equalizer. Bring Dat Ass and your feet will follow.
