Remember KMAX?

For some reason, KMAX popped into my mind. They used to be called Y-107 in the mid-90s, and were competition for KROQ. Before that, however, they had some Asian language shows on, making for probably the only Japanese show on LA radio at the time... and also during that time, toward the end, they had some amazing "dance music" DJ shows on at night that ranged from house and disco to gabber and jungle. I don't think this lasted more than a year, but, it was a really unusual format that hasn't really been replicated, ever, not even on the internet. This short period has even been forgotten in the few traces of history of radio on the internet:
