This year WYEP celebrated 50 years of being on the airwaves here in Pittsburgh. We had an exciting year, and wanted to look back at everything you might have heard or learned from the “station where the music comes first.” Revisit Live & Direct Sessions, check out photos from our festivals and read about music history throughout western Pennsylvania. -
For 15 years, local DJs have been spinning soul, funk and Motown vinyl records for dancing crowds at a variety of area venues. This weekend, they’ll celebrate the anniversary with a rotating crew of Pittsburgh and international DJs at Spirit in Lawrenceville. -
How is a record made? What materials go into its creation? Who’s behind the work? Join WYEP’s Brian Siewiorek as we take a tour of Hellbender Vinyl, Pittsburgh’s vinyl record pressing plant in Lawrenceville! We’ll look at the specific functions of the vinyl pressing machine, see how the labels are “baked” and watch how quality control is done at Hellbender.
