Sydney-born, LA-based producer FLUME shares a new project entitled ‘Hi This Is Flume,’ a 38 minute mixtape premiered alongside an accompanying visualiser directed by friend and collaborator Jonathan Zawada.

‘Only Slowthai could snap this hard about literally sleeping,’ reads the top YouTube comment on the Northampton MC’s new video. ‘Peace Of Mind’ is as much a song about respite as it is about the relentlessly restless nature of a busy mind.
