FLUME SHARES NEW REMIXES FROM SOFIA KOURTESIS, KAREEM ALI AND MORE ON PALACES: THE REMIXES – PART 2
Grammy-winning artist Flume unveils new versions of tracks from his much-lauded new album Palaces from Sofia Kourtesis, Kareem Ali, Ivy Lab, Coco Bryce and Motez today. Palaces: The Remixes – Part 2 is out now via Future Classic and Transgressive—listen here.
It follows the first remix package featuring reworks by Mount Kimbie, Logic1000, Prospa and Otik.
Flume is in the midst of a world tour behind Palaces. He recently finished a run of dates across the U.K. and Europe with headline stops in London, Berlin and Paris and festival appearances at Pohoda Festival, Dour Festival and Super Bock Super Rock. The U.S. run is now underway with newly added dates in Brooklyn and Boston, several lineup-topping sets at festivals including Austin City Limits and the San Francisco debut of Portola and many dates sold out including two nights at Red Rocks. Supporting acts across the tour include Prospa, Floating Points, Channel Tres, Tinashe, Magdalena Bay and more.
Palaces debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart the week of its release.
Palaces began to take shape when Flume returned to his native Australia after struggling to write music in Los Angeles at the beginning of the pandemic. He settled in a coastal town in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales and soon found inspiration through reconnecting with the nature around him—the rolling hills, walking around barefoot, the green colour the sky turns before a big storm, growing and eating his own vegetables, the smell of rain. He and his neighbour and longtime collaborator, the visual artist Jonathan Zawada, became fascinated by the local wildlife, in particular the birds, collecting field recordings that ended up on the album. With a title that properly highlights the luxury and magic of the natural world, Palaces is Flume’s most confident, mature and uncompromising work to date, a true testament to nurturing the relationships that make us whole and bring us peace.
Flume (born Harley Streten) rose to prominence as a teenager with his self-titled 2012 debut album, which established him as an international sensation. His 2016 LP Skin achieved Platinum certification around the world and earned him his first Grammy Award for Best/Dance Electronic Album. He went on to sell over 300,000 tickets globally across a sold-out, 59-date world tour that year, with headlining sets at Reading & Leeds Festivals and the famed Alexandra Palace. In 2019, Flume’s acclaimed Hi This Is Flume mixtape earned him his second Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy nomination and he played lineup topping sets at festivals worldwide including Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Outside Lands, Japan’s Summersonic, Italy’s C2C and more.
