Strut is back and World music classics #19

Tip of the hat to uzine.

Strut is a British record label dedicated to unearthing the lost gems of dance music past. Disco Not Disco is the title of their series of avant-garde disco compilations published since the early 2000s. They feature late 1970s and early 1980s atypical dance music and have highlited the work of Arthur Russell with tracks such as “Kiss Me Again“.
