Attention musicians, record labels, promoters, booking agents and prospective DJs! WHUP is committed to promoting independent music, and we have multiple ways to support your work.
Play Live
WHUP has a focus on live in-studio performance, including several weekly shows with a live music component as well as afternoon slots for musicians passing through and/or playing at area venues. Our studio is spacious but intimate and can accommodate a full electric band or a solo singer-songwriter. WHUP sessions are very relaxed and informal, not your typical studio environment! If you’d like more information, send possible dates along with any useful material to info@whupfm.org.
Album Spins
WHUP has an eclectic mix of music shows programmed entirely by the hosts, so one or more of them would be a good fit for your latest recordings. We have an emphasis on local and regional artists and maintain a hard-copy library of North Carolina music within easy reach of the DJs, but we can also manage digital downloads wherever they originate. Please send CDs to WHUP, 117 W. King St., Hillsborough NC 27278 or submit your download links to music@whupfm.org.
Prospective DJs
WHUP is always looking for talented DJs with a passion for great music and the ability to produce a dynamic, engaging show. If that description fits you, then consider submitting a show proposal – our programming team will get back to you ASAP and we’ll go from there. Experience preferred but not required.
For general questions, please contact us at programming@whupfm.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
