I’ve been seeing a lot of shade thrown at flume’s live shows but a ton of praise thrown at flume’s production. This begs the question , do you think flume has ever truly put his all into a live performance / tour ? How can literally almost everyone agree that he’s one of the best electronic producers to exist while reception on his live performances is about 50/50 ??!? I’ve heard him talk in interviews before about how he doesn’t rly like touring all that much due to performance anxiety. If this is the reason why his shows are so polarizing then why doesn’t he front load the work more behind the scenes to create an awesome show where he doesn’t rly have to do much on stage ??!? It’s pretty standard for headliner edm artists to play shit loads of unreleased music , go all out on their budget to craft an outstanding light / laser show , and put a ton of effort into djing their music live (think artists like Odesza , Porter Robinson , zeds dead , etc). If he doesn’t want to focus on the DJing aspect of his performances due to performance anxiety , at least couldnt he play us more unreleased tracks or put more effort into his visuals to create a better live experience ? It’s a little disheartening that there is clear money / effort put into every aspect of the flume project except for his live shows. For an artist that clearly cares about his craft so much , I just think it’s odd that we don’t see the same level of effort put into his tours as we do his production. I think we all know he’s capable of creating a truly spectacular live performance (but from what I’ve heard at least) why do you think we don’t see it ? As a die hard flume fan it pains me to say this but imo it might be because he doesn’t have interest in creating a great live show / he doesn’t need to create a great live show to keep his audience… That all being said , I think that if flume truly did put his all into a tour , it would probably be peak live music experience. Curious to hear thoughts on this.
