Flume and JPEGMAFIA have dropped a new, 7-minute, mind bender video titled ‘Track 1’, their first collaboration since 2019. Watch HERE.
The video, created by James Blagden (The Champions, Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No, Midnight in Paris) reimagines the session that birthed ‘Track 1.’ What starts as a beat-building experiment spirals into surreal chaos: every instrument Flume plays alters the physical world, pulling JPEG inside out, making him a fly, an enormous clown, before the final beat takes them on an odyssey through time and space.
The track is Flume’s first release since 2023, when he dropped two back-to-back mixtapes (Things Don’t Always Go The Way You Plan, Arrived Anxious, Left Bored) of previously unreleased material from throughout his career. He’s spent the time since mostly out of public view.
Longtime friends, having collaborated on ‘How To Build A Relationship’ from Flume’s much-lauded 2019 mixtape Hi This Is Flume and ‘New Black History’ from JPEG’s 2024 LP I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, got in the studio last year and laid down ‘Track 1’ in one of their first takes.

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.
