About
LYL is a cultural project that has elected music as its main ethic, or paradigm. We aim at suggesting a global comprehension of the world and its cultures, through the promotion and exploration of sound. The webradio has been created for this purpose, and so gathers activists, record store owners, label founders, djs, musicians, specialists, geeks, weirdos and amateurs, who all continue to expand the scope of our project with daily broadcasts produced either in our three studios, here and there in the world or in special locations. LYL has been operating in Lyon since 2015 from Les Ateliers SUMO, and has opened a second outlet in Paris in November 2016, then Brussels in 2020 and Marseille in 2021. The native studio in Lyon is now located at Unité Centrale Records, 12 rue René Leynaud, Lyon 1. In September 2026, LYL Radio got back to only one active studio/city, in Lyon where it started. This studio hosts and manages a selection of local and international shows. As of September 2026, www.lyl.live streams fresh shows weekly every Thursdays from 9 am to Midnight (Paris Time UTC +1/2). The rest of the time, our archives are broadcasted on the stream. LYL is auto-financed and thrives on its many dedicated volunteers and contributors. We believe DIY is the way when it comes to music. We therefore want to thank from the bottom of our hearts all of them, our hosts, past and present, occasional and permanent, volunteers, graphic designers, webmasters, programmers and, of course, listeners!
