It's not often you hear DJ Yoda on BBC Radio 4, but today is no ordinary day.
To celebrate BBC Music Day the hip hop turntablist has cut up some of Radio 4’s best-loved theme tunes.
It’s Radio 4, but not as you’ve ever heard it before. It's coming very soon, and you can listen live here.

Hadrian's Wall of Soundpublished at 07:07
Initially constructed by the Romans between AD 122-30 to mark the then boundary between England and Scotland, Hadrian’s Wall is one of England’s most important landmark structures, passing its way through some of the most stunning and remote locations in England.
And now it's host to a unique musical relay, with over 600 performers taking part. You can follow it live on BBC Breakfast, Radio 3, Radio Cumbria and Radio Newcastle.

It is absolutely amazing, it's so special, it's great that it's all the local musicians, we're lined up along this great historic wall from one side of the country to the other, and we're going to be passing the sound from one to the other.

Striking the right notepublished at 06:33
It's not the type of baton you'd expect to see in an Olympic relay, but it is a baton nonetheless. The BBC's Helen Amess,who came up with the idea for the musical relay along Hadrian's Wall, shows it off on BBC Breakfast.

It's not all about the wallpublished at 06:27
Tommy Sandhu's Asian Network breakfast show is also celebrating BBC Music Day with singer Navin Kundra performing with the first ever live performance of the Love Friday mix. As well as all the biggest Bollywood, Pop and R'n'B tunes from across the decades that you'd expect.
Listen to the show here.
Tune into BBC Breakfastpublished at 06:15

Watch BBC One now to see Saxophonist Roz Sluman kicking off the relay (with a little help from BBC Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin).

All aboard!published at 06:05

Believe it or not, the first event is already under way.
As dawn breaks from Bowness-on-Solway, the sound of music can already be heard in the Cumbrian air. An amazing 73-mile musical relay along the length of Hadrian's Wall has begun, which will travel through Northumberland and Newcastle before concluding in Wallsend.
Some 600 musicians from diverse communities will journey along the wall by bicycle, horse, unicycle and this rather splendid-looking open top vintage bus, passing a baton between them.
The mix of sounds showcases string quartets, bluegrass bands, hip-hop artists and many, many more performers along the route. BBC Breakfast are there this morning along with shows from Radio 3, Radio 6 Music, Radio Newcastle and Radio Cumbria. If you want to follow the relay even more closely you can do so via our Hadrian's Wall of Sound live blog.
