Flume is one of the most intriguing genre-bending musicians, fusing electronic, trap, hip hop, house, pop, dubbing it future classic, and winning a Grammy.
It has been over a year since Flume released ‘Skin’, and inspired not only many fans with his genre-crossing style but also other modern artists. On April 7th Flume shared some inspiring remixes of his Grammy winning single as well as ‘Say It’ featuring Tove Lo, and ‘Never Be Like You’ featuring Kai, on his new album Skin: The Remixes
Some of the tacks to give a deep listen are some of FUXWITHIT’s favorites. The first of the collection is Baauer‘s high energy, and plucky take on ‘Numb and Getting Colder’, which is technically mystifying with its alien-pulsations, and eerie resonating vocals that melt into a delightfully disturbing display like a exo-planet’s freak show. That’s only the surface on this pool of talent.
Another to delve into is Waver Racer‘s redone ‘Never Be Like You’ featuring Kai Wave Racer’s version bursts with bubbling bass, as dramatic breaks breathe new life into Kai’s vocals. Sparkly synths and wubbing bass definitely make for a funky-futuristic experience.
Fellow Aussie and past collaborator, Anna Lunoe’s ‘Say It’ is also a stand out on this list. This is a fiery track that spells with synths, and powerful break downs. Dicing the vocals, mashing them into the rhythm of the song, Lunoe’s industrial style electrifies in this emotional rendition. Also worth mentioning is Illenium’s remix of ‘Say It’ which has gotten a lot of love online since its release a few months back. It is is billowing, voluminous, enveloping, and down right dope. Each drop is like a cascade of powdery snow, a gradual avalanche, that carves its way to the verse.
