Looking back, it is pretty interesting to see how that record did influence a lot of music, especially in Australia at the time.” I felt like I knew that there was something special here when I made it, but I didn’t expect it to travel how it traveled. Those samples fueled a lot of the record. It came together pretty quickly I was just super inspired by all of these amazing vocals and things that he gave me on this hard drive. I found that Otis Redding sample in there and just started messing around with it at home in my little bedroom studio.
He's also on Future Classic, and he gave me this folder of all these classic soul vocal samples. “I went to my friend's studio-Michael Di Francesco, Touch Sensitive. I was super inspired, went home that night to a little Airbnb, and wrote that beat.” Beautiful place-it's super old, lots of castles. “Sintra was named after a place in Portugal called Sintra. It’s been a wild ride.” Here Streten walks through his favorite tracks on Flume.
It was intense at a young age to have all that happen. Ironically, I ended up playing in clubs a lot after that, when it started to take off. The Flume stuff was just a bit of fun, a creative outlet for me to make stuff that wasn't for the club. “I had another project at the time called What So Not, which was more club stuff, and that was my main focus. “It was quite a shock as it was really just my side project,” he says.
Streten is surprised by how much his debut album blew up when it was released in 2012. It wasn’t until a couple months after that first gig that he won a demo contest, got signed by Future Classic, and left his job to focus entirely on what soon became an incredibly successful career. From that moment, I started to look at it differently-I always thought that I was okay at doing music and I had fun doing it, but I never really thought I could actually make a career out of it.” Real name Harley Streten, the producer was still living at home in Manly and waiting tables at Hard Rock Cafe. I remember it being so flooring and surreal. After the show, I was on the way out and I met someone on the stairwell who was a fan and we just had a chat. “I had my first fan interaction after my first gig,” Flume tells Apple Music, recalling his first performance in August 2011.
