July 1st, 2006. Located at a man-made beach on the edge of the East River in Queens and overlooking the Manhattan skyline, the NYCTrust crew threw down at the first of their now legendary Funky Disco parties.

In an ode to an era of underground Hip Hop and Sampledelic explorations, host G-Man and DJ Oneman recently took over the controls at WBAI's Underground Railroad to bring you a "1996" experience.
