DWLA, (105.9 FM) branded as Retro 105.9 DCG FM, is a classic hits station owned and operated by Bright Star Broadcasting Network. Its studios are located at the 3rd Floor, Silver City Mall, Frontera Verde, Bgy. Ugong, Pasig City, while its transmitter is situated at Sitio Halang, Brgy. San Roque, Antipolo, Rizal. Retro 105.9 DCG FM operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except during the Holy Week annually, where it leaves the air from midnight of Maundy Thursday, and resumes operations from 6:00 AM of Easter Sunday.
It was known as LA 105.9, the first all-rock station under Bright Star Broadcasting Network Corporation, initially established on April 1, 1992 to provide Pinoy rock music either amateur or professional. In July 1998, LA transformed into an automated station playing electronic dance music and Top 40. In late 2000, LA ceased its transmission on-air.LA 105.9 sign-off for the last time in November 26, 2000
After 3 years, this station aired initially as Blazin' 105.9 on October 20, 2003. It was co-owned and operated by Philippine Hip Hop Awards organizer Empire Entertainment and Cavite businessman - politician Mayor Dino Chua, President of Cavite Broadcasting Network (also the owner of 91.9 The Bomb FM in Cavite). Their former studios was located at Culture Club in Eastwood, Libis, Q.C. and Club Cello (now RJ Bar) in Makati City.
Blazin' played all kinds of rap, hip-hop and R&B whether current or old school on Sundays and underground hip hop. This was the only FM station in the Philippines that aired the 2004–2005 Season of the NBA games courtesy of another media partner, Solar Sports. This station is an old concept of Power 108 FM way back in 2001 and in 2005 it is the second revision of Project: Hip Hop.

After its operation, the station went into a partnership with the Legendary Ramon "RJ" Jacinto of Rajah Broadcasting Network in late 2006. The station became inactive from January to July 2007. Wave 891 took over the format with the Pinoy hip hop scene in 2007, creating the 1st Urban Music Awards in 2010.
