Year-round · Beyond the festivals
Programs & production.
The festivals are the loudest thing we do — this is the deepest. Media training, mentorship, radio, and films that put young people behind the mic and the camera.
Youth Program · Free
DJ From Scratch
DJ Bez Musiq leads young people through the decks, the booth, and the business — from beat-matching to sound engineering to building their own sound.
In 2026 the program ran free every Tuesday and Wednesday at the Boys & Girls Club of Allentown with United Way of Greater Lehigh Valley, the City of Allentown, and Solid Ground Entertainment. In 2027 it expands to new placements — dates and locations coming soon.
Studio · Mentorship
The Media Center
A donor-funded studio where young creators get their hands on real gear: recording and editing suites, microphones, green screen, lighting rigs, and a step-and-repeat for their first press wall.
Youth learn by producing — recording tracks, cutting video, and walking out with a portfolio. In 2027 we're building out new youth tracks in sound engineering, photography, and video editing.
Radio · WDIY 88.1 FM
Inside the 610
Our radio show on WDIY 88.1 FM tells the Lehigh Valley's stories — from the boxing gym to the block party — hosted by founder Michael Frassetto.
Every episode puts a mic in front of the people doing the work in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton.
Film · Community Journalism
Documentaries
Our film arm turns the camera on the Valley's hardest conversations: #TentCity documents homelessness in Allentown alongside a tiny-homes proposal; BikeLife_610 was a Lancaster International Short Film Festival finalist.
With the City of Allentown we've produced an environmental series — food deserts, drinking water, riparian buffers, solar, and air quality.
