Since the 2012 release of his self-titled debut, Flume became one of the first artists to top 200 million Soundcloud plays and has reached more than 366 million streams on Spotify. The New York Times’ Ben Sisario praises Flume’s “darkly textured electronic songs with a soulful edge.”

After releasing his debut in Australia in November 2012 on Future Classic, Flume experienced wildfire success winning 2013’s Triple J Award for Australian Album of the Year and four ARIA Awards for Producer of the Year, Best Male, Breakthrough Artist and Best Dance Release. He has since gone on to tour extensively worldwide including headlining Paris’ Rock En Seine for over 40,000 fans and sold-out, multi-night runs in New York, Los Angeles, London and Berlin.
