Flume is the stage name of Australian electronic producer Harley Edward Streten. He first started producing music at 13, and initially released house music under the alias HEDS.

In 2011, Flume was discovered by Australian electronic label Future Classic, after submitting early tracks to a competition run by the label. In 2012, he released his self-titled debut album, Flume, which featured collaborations with artists like How To Dress Well and Chet Faker.

Flume’s described his sophomore album Skin as “headphone music,” a departure from the “festival music” that helped him make a name for himself.

The first single off the record, “Never Be Like You” features vocals from Kai and was Flume’s first song to reach number one in his home country Australia.

Following the release of Skin, which garnered critical acclaim and won him multiple ARIAs and two Grammy nods (including a win for best electronic album), he announced he would release 2 ‘Companion EPs’ made of tracks that were produced around the same time as Skin.

The first of these companion EPs was released November 25, 2016, containing 4 songs. The second followed on February 17, 2017, also containing 4 songs. These were also followed by a compilation of 15 remixes of tracks from Skin, released April 7, 2017. The final song of the Skin era, “Hyperreal”, followed on May 5, 2017, as an addition to the second companion EP.
