He continues to change both his style and production, and gets better and better. He closed his set with 'Tiny Cities,' off of “Skin” that features Beck, and by that point people all around me were in each others arms.Īlthough he's only scheduled to play a few shows this year, hopefully Flume will announce a more drawn out tour, as well as release more amazing music at some point. In 2011, Flume was discovered by Australian electronic label Future Classic, after submitting early tracks to a competition run by the label. He first started producing music at 13, and initially released house music under the alias HEDS. It was another way of making such a massive show feel so intimate and special.įlume performed many of his old classic tunes such as 'Sleepless,' his remix of Disclosure's 'You and Me,' and included hits from his previous album “Helix” while throwing in his most recent mixtape releases. Flume is the stage name of Australian electronic producer Harley Edward Streten.

What a legend.Īnother thing that I feel that made these Red Rocks shows so special was that because of the way the venue is set up, we were looking down onto the stage, which of course made it even cooler when Flume and the rest of the gang continued to run up the GA bleachers and out into the crowd throughout the show. He painted a poster board at the beginning with spray paint cans plastered with his logo. At one point, he came out on stage with a sledgehammer and literally smashed a bunch of electronics to pieces. Although maybe some would have seen his updated on stage antics as bizarre, I thought they were insanely interesting. His live performance was just as energetic as it always has been, if not even more. They all came out on stage with Flume throughout his performance.Īs far as Flume's live show this time around, I can honestly say at times I was speechless. Flume is back and what better way to celebrate his return than with show at Red Rocks Amphitheater. These two nights were in support of Harley Streten, better known as Flume's recent release of his mixtape 'Hi this is Flume' in the last few months, including features with Vera Blue, JPEGMAFIA, Slowthai, Reo Cragun, and London Grammar's Hannah Reid.Īll but Hannah Reid were in attendance and performed, with Slowthai and then JPEGMAFIA opening before the main act. This month I was one of the lucky few thousand that descended upon the glorious and prestigious Red Rocks Amphitheater for two nights with Flume & Friends. Hell be live-streaming his sold-out Flume & Friends shows at Red Rocks last year this upcoming July 16 (9pm ET) and July 17 (3pm ET) via Future Classics.
