Listen to the sounds of Queensland
The Pineapple Mixtapes are YELO’s hyper-local Spotify playlists, built to spotlight the artists shaping the sound of their city, coast or region right now. The Queensland mix follows the artists making noise across the pineapple state, from coastal releases and regional finds to songs moving through Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and beyond.
Pineapple Radar is YELO’s Sunshine Coast mix, featuring local songs and fresh releases from artists across the region. It also powers our weekly ABC Sunshine Coast music picks, shared Tuesdays at 10am when host Sarah Howells talks local music with editor Penny Brand.
