Soul Jazz Records’ expanded and newly remastered 2026 edition of their classic archival compilation New York Noise: Dance Music from The New York Underground 1978-82 is a comprehensive look at the post-punk and no wave era, a short period in time whose influence still reverberates today.

A summation of the the point in time and space where dance music and punk rock first met, and a testament to the creative possibilities for new forms inherent in the collision of diverse points of view, the collection gathers classic New York post-punk, punk funk, synth wave and no wave tracks from the likes of James White and the Contortions, Bush Tetras, and Mars alongside rare tracks by Alan Vega (Suicide), Chain Gang and experimental dance music pioneers such as Arthur Russell (Dinosaur L).

This 2LP vinyl edition produced in 2026 by Soul Jazz Records. Includes extensive sleeve notes and exclusive photography.
