The Rapture
'Tapes'
Thank God not everyone's thrown away their vinyl.
Fans of the Rapture might not be familiar with many of the artists on the New York dance punks' swift, 80-minute DJ mix; only a few (Ghostface, Richie Havens!) -- have poked their heads out from the underground. But what Tapes lacks in classic names, it makes up for in flow -- D.C. go-go (Junkyard Band), Chicago house (Cajmere, Paul Johnson), and vintage funk (the Bar-Kays, the Undisputed Truth) blend into one long ideal song for roller-skating or just dressing up like you're planning on roller-skating. Even the less party-friendly guests, like Kraftwerk-loving Syclops, can't slow the roll.
