Flume has said that that he tries to distance his music from the EDM world.

Speaking to Digital Spy backstage at Reading Festival, Flume - real name Harley Streten - explained that he prefers playing to rock crowds.



"I've gotta say festivals like [Reading] are playing to people who I want to be playing to, who I feel are better crowds," Streten said. "I try to keep out of the EDM world, I try to keep Flume far from the EDM world."

He added: "Commercial EDM, the crowd is f**ked up kids basically. They don't care about the music, they want to hear one or two songs and that's it. I prefer to play to people who actually give a s**t about the music."

The 22-year-old also reasoned that like British duo Disclosure, there is no festival that could exactly reflect his sound.



"There's no festival that caters to my sound, kind of like Disclosure - they can do rock festivals and they can do dirty EDM festivals because there's no real festival that has that," he suggested.

"I feel like we're doing our own thing and people who like rock music like Flume, people who like dirty EDM also like Flume so it's a hybrid vibe and that's the best place to be because you can pick and choose where you wanna play."
