Various Artists
Compilation #1
(DFA)
An overview of what's crackin' at dance punk's top label. Includes hits like the Rapture's "House of Jealous Lovers" and LCD Soundsystem's "Losing My Edge," along with tunes by Black Dice and the Juan McLean.

Various Artists
New York Noise
(Soul Jazz)
This comp offers a true history lesson on NYC's rich late-'70s/early-'80s underground scene. Includes tracks by no-wavers like DNA and Mars, original dance punk stars Liquid Liquid and ESG, and previously unknowns such as Konk and the Bloods.

Radio 4
Gotham!
(Gern Blandsten)
Wearing influences like the Clash and Gang of Four on their sleeves, these heartfelt Brooklyn groove-rockers celebrate the city with a huge, percussive energy.

!!!
"Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard" 12-inch
(Touch and Go)
Pronounce this band's name with three noises in a row (most say, "Chick-chick-chick"). Put on this absurdist, nine-minute grit-disco epic when you want your next house party to truly ignite.

Tussle
"Eye Contact" 12-inch
(Troubleman Unlimited)
These San Francisco instrumental upstarts beat many Gotham bands at their own game, melding elements of dub, disco, and krautrock into a gorgeously pounding mess.
