Is It All Over My Face?

The Sound SommelierGen X

Loose Joints, with 'Is It All Over My Face?' from '80, delivered an absolute monster. This isn't just disco; it's pure, unadulterated New York City club energy, a foundational slice of early house. Arthur Russell’s touch is undeniable, crafting a groove so infectious it became legendary. It's got that raw, improvisational feel, a bassline that coils and snaps, and vocals that just float. You hear this, and you understand why the dance floor became a church. Essential, utterly timeless funk.
