Sydney-based Harley Streten, aka Flume, got his first taste for producing at age 13 from the most unlikely of places - a music production program he found in a cereal box. Taking a no-holds-barred attitude to music creation Flume takes inspiration from a wide variety of sources and scenes distilling his sound into a melodic bass heavy style of his own.
Sleepless was soft released in August 2011 and has been #1 on the iTunes Australia Electronic Chart for several weeks and in the top 10 for several months. Flume has also featured on a vinyl co-release with Anna Lunoe and has released remixes for Hermitude, Junior Boys, Onra, The Aston Shuffle and Ta-ku.
Flume’s live shows have now come into full effect after two sold out Australian national headline tours of 300-500 capacity rooms, Sydney and Melbourne supports for The XX and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (forthcoming).
Internationally, Flume has been confirmed to perform at CMJ in New York in October 2012 and has been signed for UK and European booking by Elastic Artists (Flying Lotus, Major Lazer) with plans for both a European and North American tour in 2013.
The release of the album will be preceeded by a vinyl/digital release of Sleepless on 24 September with remixes by Shlohmo (USA) and Midland (UK). In addition to lead single Sleepless featuring Jezzabell Doran the album features guest vocal contributions by Chet Faker, Moon Holiday, George Maple (aka Jess from Flight Facilities’ Foreign Language single) and Porto Rican LA based MC T.Shirt.
