Built for the local music rabbit hole
The YELO playlists are updated as new artists, releases and local sounds come through.
They are not trying to flatten Queensland music into one neat “local” bucket. The state is too big, too weird and too sunburnt for that. These playlists sort the noise by mood, place and scene, so listeners can move from a Sunshine Coast discovery to a Brisbane band, a Gold Coast groove or an old Australian road song without losing the thread.
