[edit] History

Founded by Mark Kane in 2003, Party107 started out playing mainly trance singles and featured occasional live sets by resident DJ's. It started out as a Live365 station, however quickly outgrew their services. Soon after inception, Party107 switched to SHOUTcast streaming technology. The station still uses SHOUTcast to date.

In mid 2004, Party107 started a new programming format. Instead of playing trance singles 24/7, Party107 started to feature more resident DJs and live sets. When no new sets were scheduled, the stream would play past sets that had been recorded. Since all the station's programming was now 100% DJ sets, the types of music played also became more diverse. DJs would play many styles of electronic music in their sets. Party107 was no longer a trance only station, but instead played all kinds of electronic music.

Prerecorded and LIVE sets from DJs all over the world still make up Party107's programming today.
