While rock legends The Flaming Lips played a headline slot before a modest crowd on the amphitheatre main stage, Flume was performing in the “rave cave”, aka the tented stage up on the hill.įrom the main stage, you could hear Flume’s crowd screaming and cheering as he played his self-titled debut album on top of the amphitheatre’s hill.Īll the while hundreds of revellers couldn’t even make it inside the packed tent to catch a glimpse of Flume’s performance. One famous story that illustrates Flume’s wild popularity was his performance at the 2012/13 Falls Festival in Lorne, Victoria. Most famously he has formed a strong personal and working bond with another young Australian music star, Chet Faker (who recently changed his moniker to his real name, Nick Murphy). Flume beats more fancied artists for awards and on the charts regularly. His music is heavily electronic, drenched with synth, dynamic in its pace and often features guest vocalists. His 2012 self-titled debut album was released in Australia on the same day as One Direction’s Take Me Home LP.įlume somehow beat the outrageously popular British boy band to the number one spot, even though he finished making the album on a laptop while travelling through Europe.
That competition was through Australian record label Future Classic, which he is still signed to. He entered an original artists competition in 2011 and won it. So who is Flume, and how did he become so big?įlume was born and lived in Sydney’s Northern Beaches and gravitated toward music from a young age.
