Flume

Last year's Australian Album of the Year and Super Producer Flume hit Sydney's Hordern Pavilion over the last two nights with the Infinity Prism Tour.  He opened up with his Gurrumul/Yolanda be Cool remix of "A Baru in New York" a great opener and a chilled way for the evening to commence.

Starting off with hits from the album including "More Than You Thought" and moving ever so seamlessly into "Sleepless" and "Ezra". The set then turned it up a notch by his "What So Not" remix of "Get Free" the killer jam by Major Lazer.

"Holdin On'" was song number 7 which was early on but the crowd loved it, it continued with "Bring it Down" & "Sintra" (my personal album favourite) and when "Insane" took full flight (current JJJ single) the crowd lost their shit.

There was a short break before the full assault of "On Top" featuring rapper T-Shirt just killed it.

By this point the Hordern was jumping and loving his awesome light and visual show on the screens provided as part of the Infinity Prism.

By the Encore we were all waiting for the Hyperparadise remix of Hermitude and this came after Chet Faker joined Flume on stage for "Left Alone" and then a new exclusive collaboration.

It was a great evening and a whole lot of fun from young to old from front to back of the venue.

Flume definitely deserved my Australian Album of 2012, in the old days a dance single was easy to top the charts but a dance album was hard to hit the top spots.  Yes there is always exceptions but now Flume is constantly keeping people like Michael Buble, One Direction and Taylor Swift from the top spots.

The album has sold over 70,000 copies here in Australia and I believe 2013 will be his international year.

So can Flume pull of the live experience, oh hell yes and with style. Flume is here to stay and I'm so happy his a Sydney boy.

Flume rates 4 stars.
