Shake the Foundations: Militant Funk & the Post-Punk Dancefloor 1978-1984

Recorded
1978-1984
Released

The intersection of punk rock and dance music represented one of the more exciting cross-fertilizations of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bands like Delta 5, Gang of Four, and New Order applied a serrated edge to dance-derived formulas – but so did tons of other artists you’ve never heard of, and many of them are featured on this three-disc set. Check it out and get to know The Higsons, Six Sed Red, Surface Mutants and many more.
