Disco Not Disco is a compilation album from the Disco Not Disco series released by Strut Records in 2000. The album is a probe for both the experimental side of disco and punk genres, as well as underground music scene in general. The first volume is more rock and funk oriented and features three experimental studio projects by Arthur Russell, namely Dinosaur, Indian Ocean and Loose Joints, British new wave musician Ian Dury, and even musicians like Yoko Ono, Steve Miller Band or jazz trumpeter Don Cherry.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/disco-not-disco-r560174|title=Disco Not Disco - Review, Overview, Charts|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2011-07-28}}{{cite journal|date=Jan 27, 2001|journal=Billboard/Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|volume=113|page=35|title=Getting 'In The Mix' With Rivera, Stryke and Sanger|issn=0006-2510}}{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/24/arts/the-pop-life-punk-meets-disco-again.html?pagewanted=2|title=Arts > THE POP LIFE; Punk Meets Disco, Again|work=The New York Times|accessdate=2011-07-28|date=2002-10-24}}{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Various-Disco-Not-Disco/release/120031|title=Disco Not Disco at Discogs|publisher=Discogs|accessdate=2011-07-28}}
