The Beatmasters are a team of
dance music songwriters,
musicians and
producers who were successful as artists in their own right in the
UK in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They then went on to produce and
remix records for many other groups. As artists, the team had a string of
chart hit singles, including "Burn It Up", "Hey DJ! (I Can't Dance to that Music You're Playing)", "Who's in the House" and "Rok Da House", the latter having been recorded in 1986, being one of the earliest examples of
hip house, a subgenre of
house music which features
rap vocals performed over a house rhythm track.
