"Rockchester" is a single by the British industrial hip-hop group Fats Comet, released in January 1987 on World Records.[1]
In the August 1986 issue of Spin, columnist John Leland described the song as "the best dance music now being made"[2] The single entered the UK Indie Chart in 1987, remaining there for eleven weeks and peaking at No. 6.[3] The song's B-side later appeared on the retrospective compilation album Power Inc. Vol. 1, released in 1994.[4]
In 1997, Future Sound of London released the hit single We Have Explosive, part three of which interpolates a looped sample of "Rockchester".[5]
