"Rockit" was a single from Herbie Hancock's 1983 album Future Shock.
The single was written by Hancock, bass guitarist Bill Laswell and synthesizer /drum machine programmer Michael Beinhorn.
Recorded live in the studio, "Rockit" was perhaps the first popular single to feature scratching and other DJ techniques—courtesy of Grand Mixer DXT—as a musical instrument outside of a hip hop music context. Many later turntablists have cited "Rockit" as revelatory, inspiring their interest in the craft.
The single was a major radio hit in the United Kingdom and an underground hit in the United States. The humorous music video, directed by duo Godley & Creme and featuring robots moving in time to the music (e.g a scene where it looks like a robot is masturbating in a bed), was among the earliest videos of to feature African Americans on MTV and garnered five MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, including Best Concept Video, Best Special Effects, and Most Experimental Video It is featured on the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and is on its soundtrack box-set. *
