The guy is 22 years old and what a fresh outlook on Dance music does he have.

“The minute I saw the front page of the Daily Telegraph – me with my arm around the latest X-Factor contestant – I realised I’d gone into a new realm.”
That’s the only trace of angst that Flume, known to his family as Harley Streten, betrays about the staggering success he’s achieved. In just a year, the Manly-bred 22-year-old has gone from up-and-coming bedroom producer living with his parents to international recording star and heartthrob, whose music is the most visible success story in a rapidly burgeoning Australian electronic music scene.
His self-titled debut album on Sydney indie label Future Classic – who signed him when he was still a teenager and have seen their profile rise with his – was released a year ago this week. It hit the charts at No 2, behind One Direction, and ascended to No 1 soon afterwards, on its way to platinum status. |

| Wait, am I thinking of the right 'Future Classic?' Because that label releases some especially bizarre, left field material that sounds hardly consistent with the sort being described in this PR blurb. |

Its Flume. He is popular w/ my age demographic, 18-25. Hear his music alot at college parties. He's mehhhh. Its all relative. Compare him to the golden era of electronic music that you all lived through and he aint . But compared to this dark dark age of cheese and over the top hard hitting "drop the cannon bass bro" electronic music, he is able to stand out. Very similar to artists like disclosure and kaytranada but not nearly as good.
These are his best two songs IMO

I think we get it at this point, you don't really follow this type of music anymore. |

so, a guy who wasn't in a position to sell out, wants to sell out?
there's money to be made if you conform to a certain strain of douchebaggery. he seems to be well positioned for it - why not, go for it.
i doubt there's going to be cries of foul from anyone. maybe he thinks otherwise? |
