LOCAL MUSIC ON SPOTIFY

The Pineapple Mixtapes

The Mixtapes are hyper-local Spotify playlists curated by YELO as a rolling showcase of the strongest artists and releases from each city, coast or region, drawing mainly from roughly the past year.

From the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane, the Gold Coast, North Queensland and across the state, with a sneaky trip over the border to our Byron Bay friends, each playlist pulls together indie, folk, surf-pop, alt-rock, punk, electronic, hip hop and whatever else is bubbling up from the scene.

Playlists for beatniks, band kids and local-music lifers

Every local music scene has its own weather. The Pineapple Mixtapes are YELO’s way of tuning into it, with local artists, new releases and scene favourites connected to a particular place.

The collection covers the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers, North Queensland and the wider state. Each playlist is a rolling regional showcase, refreshed over time rather than a hot-right-now feed.

Want to be added? Local artists, bands, producers and songwriters can send their Spotify releases through for consideration.

A local playlist for every scene

Local music is not one sound. It changes from coast to city, suburb to hinterland, beach town to late-night venue.

These playlists are living snapshots, not exhaustive archives. Songs will arrive, disappear, move around and make way for whatever comes next.
