The Rapture - !K7 Tapes

With "Tapes", their first ever mix compilation, The Rapture join a prestigious line of celebrity guest compilers for !K7 Records including Carl Craig, Hot Chip and Ewan Pearson. Keen connoisseurs of house music, hip-hop and electronica, The Rapture have recorded with The DFA Soundsystem, Dangermouse and Timbaland. They have also toured with Daft Punk, The Cure and The Killers. At the dawn of the new millennium, this impeccably cool four-piece from New York City helped pioneer the dance-punk scenes and No Wave rennaissance that soon conquered the global club scene. "Tapes" is a treasure trove of rare grooves and cult classics spanning three decades, from the late 1970s to 2008. It is a testament to The Rapture's all-embracing musical tastes that "Tapes" features superstars like Ghostface Killah, Armand van Helden, Richie Havens, as well as underground cult heroes (Martin Circus, Vaughan Mason) and the cutting-edge electronica from the rising stars of today and tomorrow (Syclops, DJ Mujava). The Rapture have raided their record collections and produced a rich, deep, wide-ranging feast of simply fantastic music - smart, funny and funky.
