It’s been ten years since Flume shared his debut self-titled album Flume: the record that changed the face of Australian electronic music and launched the then 20 year-old from Sydney’s Northern Beaches onto the global stage.
The multi-platinum album has been streamed over one billion times and has been recognised for its contribution to Australian music with four ARIA Awards and three AIR Awards. Flume’s self-titled debut stayed in the ARIA Charts consistently for three years.
To celebrate this milestone, Flume has dropped a new track ‘Slugger’ – a song that has lived on Harley Streten’s Hard Drive for almost a decade. Long-time fans will immediately recognise the track’s woozy production and hard-hitting beat as distinctly Flume circa 2010s.

Flume says, “Made this one in Paris, always loved this demo but it never quite made it onto an album. I figured now that it’s 10 years since my first album was released it would be a good time to share. Hope you like it x”.
Ten years on, Flume is now a global headliner with a Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album to his name and a total of four Grammy Award nominations. After sharing his 2016 sophomore LP Skin, Flume went on to sell over 300,000 tickets globally across a sold-out, 59-date world tour that year. In 2019, Flume’s acclaimed Hi This Is Flume mixtape earned him a second Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy nomination and he played lineup-topping sets at festivals worldwide including Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Outside Lands, Japan’s Summersonic, Italy’s C2C and more.
In May 2022, Flume shared his third studio album Palaces (featuring the platinum-accredited hit single ‘Say Nothing’ ft. MAY-A) to international praise, six ARIA Award nominations and a recent J Award nomination for Australian Album of the Year. Flume spent a majority of 2022 touring internationally, including a coveted main stage night-time slot at Coachella that was the first festival set to be livestreamed in AR (augmented reality).
After a string of sold-out headline US dates and festivals, Flume returns home to Australia to wrap up his world tour. Starting next week, Flume’s live show takes him to Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart alongside special guests Toro Y Moi, Channel Tres, and Vera Blue, with appearances from MAY-A.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
