Experience the sonic revolution that redefined the 80s with Herbie Hancock’s "Future Shock." Released in 1983, this album is a groundbreaking fusion of jazz, funk, and early electro-hip-hop. Produced in collaboration with Bill Laswell and Material, it marked a daring departure from Hancock’s fusion roots, embracing the digital age with cutting-edge technology and streetwise rhythms.

The album is legendary for its opening track, "Rockit," an instrumental powerhouse that became a global phenomenon. Featuring the innovative scratching of Grand Mixer D.ST, "Rockit" became an anthem for the breakdancing movement and one of the most iconic music videos in MTV history. Beyond the hit, tracks like "Autodrive" and the title track "Future Shock" (a Curtis Mayfield cover) showcase Hancock’s unparalleled ability to blend complex keyboard textures with infectious, mechanical grooves.
