Loose Joints

Loose Joints was an early 1980s dance project associated with composer and producer Arthur Russell, active from about 1980 to 1983. Their music combined post-disco club rhythms with experimental production techniques and elements of funk and art-pop, reflecting a willingness to reshape dance forms through unconventional song structures and studio experimentation. The project is tied to underground club circulation of the era and is often discussed in the context of the transition from late disco to emerging club styles.
