“Recent research shows Australians actively seek out new and independent music, with over 80% saying they enjoy discovering local artists on streaming platforms.” – Spotify
FLOOD is a series of hyper-local Spotify playlists, each one featuring only musicians from a single region. Think of them as curated indie radio stations built for the places we love: Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Byron, Melbourne, Perth and beyond.
The first three playlists – FLOOD Sunshine Coast, FLOOD Brisbane and FLOOD Gold Coast – are officially live. They feature 30 local artists across indie, folk, surf-pop, alt-rock, electronic, and more – all updated weekly.
It’s a sound map of the region, shaped entirely by the people and creators who live there.

If Australia’s music scenes had their own sounds, what would they be? YELO Magazine’s new project FLOOD answers that question – one city at a time. But this isn’t just another playlist drop – this is a cultural project designed to spotlight emerging Australian artists.
We kick things off with the sounds of the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast and Brisbane, with more cities to come as FLOOD grows across the country. These are the first official FLOOD playlists.

A Sound Identity for Every City
Australia’s music culture is rich, diverse, and exploding with talent – yet so much of it goes unheard.
Each FLOOD playlist is built around a simple idea: every region has its own underground music scene. The artists, the venues, the late-night gigs, the beach towns, the suburbs, the hidden bars – together they create a sound that belongs to that place alone.
As FLOOD expands into new cities, the mission stays simple: “Flood each city with its own local music.”
A wave of Australian culture is coming – one region at a time.
