The Mixtape Podcast - Creating Mix Tapes and Playlists with your favourite musicians!

This week on The Mixtape, Mark sits down with Veronica from Perth indie outfit Dolce Blue.

Fresh from the release of their new single Waste Your Time and gearing up for the Auxiliary Records Launch Night at The Bird, Veronica joins us to talk about the band's journey, the Perth music scene, and what's next for Dolce Blue.

As always, Veronica builds her perfect Mixtape, sharing the songs that have shaped her life, inspired her creativity, and soundtracked some unforgettable moments.

We also put her through a round of Collab, Tour or Diss, finding out which artists she'd love to collaborate with, hit the road alongside, or politely pass on, before wrapping things up with The Mixtape's Quick Fire Five. From pre-show rituals and dream concert line-ups to career highlights and musical guilty pleasures, you'll get to know the person behind the music.

If you're a fan of discovering great new music, supporting local artists, and hearing the stories behind the songs, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
