LYL is an international, cultural, and musical project promoting its activities and network mainly through its web radio. From its creation in Lyon in 2015, it has stayed DIY and defends the underground part of sound through 4 physical studios in Lyon, Paris, Brussels (Belgium), and Marseille where their regular hosts (label owners, musicians, DJs, specialists, geeks, and weirdos) gather to produce their shows. LYL also brings together more than a hundred international residents, coming from all over the world to add their weirdness to this beautiful mess. The stream works 24/7 and lives shows air on Tuesdays (Paris), Wednesdays (Brussels), Thursdays (Lyon), and Fridays (Marseille and International shows) while the rest of the week serve special broadcasts, events, collabs and rebroadcasts which you can all listen through our App, as well as every octet of our archives ongoing from 2015 and have access to our written content: interviews, special selecta, tops, and more articles. LYL remains an auto-financed entity, thriving on its volunteers and hosts’ dedication to their grand community and culture, which we’ll defend until the end, and hope you’ll join through this channel. We’re the rest, meet us in the margins.
