If you’re looking for a fresh mix to kick back to, you better check out Flume‘s Quest Mix on Annie Nightingale’s BBC Radio 1 show. The hour-long mix is inspired by Flume’s recent trip to Japan, as he explains: “The mix includes a lot of music that I was listening to recently when I explored Tokyo for the first time. I’d never been there, and I spent a lot of time exploring the streets, and this was my soundtrack.”
The mix doesn’t have any of Flume’s own tracks, but rather, it features artists such as Flying Lotus, SBTRKT, FKA Twigs, TOKiMONSTA and a What So Not edit of RL Grimes, and takes us on a musical journey. (Full tracklist is at the end of this post.)
We may be hearing some new works by the young producer soon, as he states, “I’m back in the studio, working on new stuff. It’s really exciting to be able to able to just hang out in my studio with my awesome studio monitors and just write.” Check out the full mix here:
