Australian DJ/producer Flume delivered his debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix this past weekend. The two-hour set included five exclusive tracks of his own, though it hasn’t been confirmed whether they will appear on his upcoming EP. Also included were cuts from artists like Vic Mensa, Vince Staples, Jamie xx, Salva, and TroyBoi.
 
From future bass and hip-hop to deep house and beyond, the Aussie described his mix as “a bit of a journey, not a straight up dancefloor mix.”

How Flume Went from Hobby Producer to Worldwide Phenomenon

Flume
 
Over the last couple years, Flume aka Harley Streten has built a massive fan base and established himself as one of the most influential electronic artists from Australia. His distinctive style of indie-influenced electronic music has taken him around the world, including performances at Coachella, Lollapalooza and the Mad Decent Block Party. One of Flume’s most successful productions — a remix of Lorde’s “Tennis Court” — has amassed a staggering 18 million SoundCloud plays in just nine months.
 
So, how did the long-time bedroom producer breakout and become a worldwide phenomenon? During the 2014 Electronic Music Conference, which took place in early December, Flume and his management team spoke for nearly an hour about the strategy behind his brand and the tactics used to promote his music.
 
The in-depth discussion featured various components of the team, including his manager, agent, publicist, A&R, publisher, and art director. Thankfully, a video of the entire discussion has been uploaded to YouTube and those who didn’t attend the conference can now soak up the knowledge. Watch below:
