Flume and Disclosure

Today I have music for you by one of my favorite DJs ever. Flume is someone who is weirdly in the underground music scene but is also in the mainstream flow of music. What I love about Flume is that he has a sound that is completely his own. There are other DJs who have tried and done a pretty good job at trying to pull off the same musical style that Flume has, but none of them have been able to perfect it the way Flume has. His music has a lot more emphasis on tone and texture than other artists do. Flume is extremely intentional and deliberate with which sounds he decides to use, taking the time to make sure he finds the right ones. A lot of his songs combine the sultry side of R&B with smooth female vocals, and that combined with the synthetic beats and programmed harmonies, is what gives Flume's music the kind of song that it has. It is a more laid back and chill vibe, but still has hard hitting and clear beats. This song in particular has a little bit more of an upbeat vibe to it, while the actual beats of the song are still chilled out. Flume does a really great job of making sure that all of those elements are very nicely balanced out. Now this version of the song is remix done by Wave Racer. It is a little bit different from what we originally heard, but the song is not bland or any thin like that. I really do like this remix though because a lot of the original Flume stylistic elements have made it through the remix, and it seems more as if there was something that Flume wanted to figure out for himself. The initial part of the drop is what really gets me with this song. It has a drop that is distinct to Wave Racer, but the rest of the drop remains very Flume. I am just a huge fan of how well this remix has been done. This may be the best remix of a Flume song I have ever heard, and I just love how the music still has that suave and laid back kind of sound. Now the King of Remixes is getting his own work remixed. A mix between chill house, and trip hop. Today's instrumental song is by another DJ set who has weirdly similar musical styles but also have nothing in common with any other artist. Disclosure is one of those super creative and fun artists. They are the ones who spice things up a little more, and give a more electronic dance groove. If anything, they are the definition of the London Underground, and I love that. I hope you all enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
