"Rok da House" is the debut single by British production trio the Beatmasters featuring hip hop duo the Cookie Crew. Released as a single in 1987, the song was a top 40 hit in at least seven countries. In the UK, its first release only managed a peak of No. 79,[1] but a remix six months later was much more successful, peaking at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1988.[2] In 1989, a further remix known as "Rok da House (W.E.F.U.N.K.)" appeared on their debut studio album Anywayawanna.
"Rok da House" is known to be the very first hip house record,[3] having been written and pressed to vinyl in August 1986.[citation needed]
