Let鈥檚 party like it鈥檚 '97... because it is! Romesh brings classic Hip Hop from the year of Titanic, minidiscs and dial-up internet.

For the Hip Hop heads, curious and yet to be converted鈥� Romesh broadcasts from '97 and plays classic tracks from the year that also brought us Kate and Leo on the prow of a cruise liner!

Missy Elliott鈥檚 Supa Dupa Fly and LL Cool J鈥檚 Phenomenon are both on the menu for celebrating quarter century anniversaries, alongside bangers from Common, KRS One and Mase. We鈥檙e Going In with the Wu-Tang Clan and Ranga鈥檚 Records pays tribute to the (鈥榬ecently') departed Notorious B.I.G.

In the Sounds Afterparty - we鈥檝e invited DJ Martin 2 Smoove to provide the soundtrack with a 1997 megamix. Yes, a mix that鈥檚 mega, which takes in a year of vintage hits.

So put down your pager, hit 'record' on your minidisc and pray that your dial-up connection is strong enough to listen!
