About Radio Aussie

Home grown, all day, every day.

Radio Aussie plays Australian music and nothing else. Not a quota, not an hour on a Thursday night, not a token local track between imports. Every song, every hour, 24 hours a day, is home grown.

The second half of the policy matters just as much: the station leans towards new and independent artists. Plenty of stations will play an Australian act once it has already been proven somewhere else. We would rather be the place where a song gets its first spin, which means unsigned bands, self released singles, regional acts a long way from a capital city, and artists whose entire catalogue currently lives on one hard drive. Established Australian music still gets played, because the new stuff came from somewhere, but it does not get to crowd out the rest.

We cover the whole range, deliberately. Rock, country, folk, hip hop, soul, RnB, electronic, pop and punk, First Nations music from communities right across the country, the records made here in languages other than English, and the things happening at the edges of all of them. Australian music has never been one sound, and a station that plays only one of them is not really an Australian music station, it is a genre station wearing a flag.

Australian, for our purposes, means the artist is based here or is an Australian working overseas. Where a record was mastered does not decide it. If you are unsure whether you qualify, send it anyway and we will listen.

Artists never pay to be played. There is no fee for submission, no fee for rotation, and no arrangement in which money moves a song up the list. The submissions form goes to the people who build the playlists, and every track sent to us will be listened to by a person.
