Flume
Feb 3, 2022
Australian DJ/Producer Flume (born Harley Streten) rose to prominence as a teenager with his scene-starting, self-titled debut in 2012, which topped the charts in his home country and led to a sold-out Australian tour. In the two years that followed, Flume brought his compelling live show to festivals around the world, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds and many others.
His second LP, 2016's Skin, reached the top 10 in the U.S., top 20 in the U.K. and all across Europe, topped the ARIA Chart on release and reinforced Flume’s status as an inventive, boundary-pushing producer while continuing to expand his reach. That year, Flume took home his first Grammy Award for Best/Dance Electronic Album, won seven ARIAs, and sold over 300,000 tickets globally across a sold out 59-date world tour.
In 2019, Flume released the EP, Quits, and received his second Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy nomination for his mixtape, Hi This Is Flume.
His new album, Palaces, arrives May 20. It features a host of vocalists and collaborators, including world—breakout U.S. star Caroline Polachek, British polymath-icon Damon Albarn, Spain’s Vergen Maria, France’s Oklou, fellow Australians Kucka, and Maya Cummings (known professionally as MAY-A), who performs on the album's lead single "Say Nothing".
Flume will make his return to the festival stage with sets at Coachella, Bonnaroo and Governors Ball later this year. (Flume and MAY-A photo credit: Nick Green)
