Profiles in Hustle: Flume

From making music in his bedroom to conquering a continent in three easy steps.

In 2011,  Australian DJ Flume was making music in his bedroom, creating house music on the eve of the EDM explosion. Only a year later, his self-titled record saw him become the most in-demand DJ in Australia (a country that appreciates its DJ’s!).

Flume has already dropped remixes of Sam Smith and Arcade Fire this year, with more music on the way. Expect a huge 2015 from a guy who was able to conquer a continent through his laptop.
