Five years ago, the Rapture led indie rock into a more dance-oriented course. If their hipster stock has dipped since, this mix suggests they can always fall back on their side career as DJs. Kicking off with the Undisputed Truth's "Earthquake Shake," the set gets rowdy fast, with Junkyard Band and the Bar-Kays. Later, global electronica fidgets toward a whomping climax: Richie Havens presaging the deepest house music with 1980's "Going Back to My Roots." By then, you're grateful the Rapture went back to theirs.
