That’s all well and good, but their music is still built around a dude and a microphone. How, pray tell, does an already-iconic electronic music producer go about spruiking their political message when their choons feature nearly 0% of their own voice?
If you’re Flume at Splendour In The Grass, the answer is to bust out an hour-long set full of apolitical belters – as per usual – before materialising a mic and telling the punters “fuck Pauline Hanson.”
lol flume just ended his set with a “fuck Pauline Hanson” and a mic drop #sitg
