Australian artist Flume had a pretty impressive 2019. He dropped a 17-track mixtape titled Hi This Is Flume to favourable reviews and also got into an altogether unexpected situation at Burning Man.
But it looks like he's taking 2020 by the balls and is certainly making self-isolation interesting.
He's uploaded a video of him at his work desk, with his skin covered blue and giving us a taste of his new remix to Eiffel 65's 1998 banger 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)'.

The whole video is certainly... something.
Other musicians have responded, of course. Cassian replied with: "Label: how's the studio time going?? Flume:..."
And Cray added: "Blue Man Group been real quiet since you posted this."
To be fair, this is very Blue Man Group energy and we are totally here for it. Could this be Flume's audition tape to be in the group? We'll never know.

Many people reckon the remix is a certified banger and are calling for the full track to be made available for the public to listen to in full.
Flume, real name Harley Streten, is in the midst of completing his third studio album. He recently told his girlfriend's podcast, My Friend Podcast, that it should be done in three months.
He also opened up on his mental health struggles while being a famous musician.

"When performing, I would drink to calm nerves - to make it bearable," he revealed. "I'm just not a [natural] performer and I've definitely used alcohol to feel comfortable on stage in front of a bunch of people. It was a pattern and it was getting pretty bad.
"I got to a point where I was like, 'I don't want to do this anymore. I'm not having fun doing this, I think I want to quit.'
"I went to a therapist and was like, 'I hate my job.'
"Feel like a bad person for saying that, but it's true. I love making music but I hate touring. I'm not cut out for this."

He admitted that he's since found ways to remain calm while performing. He also doesn't tour in large bursts anymore and is taking anti-depressants.
