From old staff and PCDJ event pictures from when we started back in 1999, to radio drops used when we had a internet 'radio room' of 20 continuous play stations. This is of course back when companies would readily pay for ad space on a EDM internet radio station, but we did have some of the best DJ's in the business mixing live using one of our old PCDJ PHAT freeware applications.
