Classic 70s songs sampled by the likes of Eminem, Fatboy Slim and Portishead.
The 90s owes a massive debt to 70s music. So many of the best songs of the decade contained samples from 70s songs - so Dermot has compiled a playlist of songs sampled by the likes of The Prodigy, Portishead, Coolio, Stereo MCs and Elastica.
And don't forget to check out the companion 90s show where you get to hear all those.
