There are a group of young guys 18-20, leading the Melbourne Bang.

"I'm Moving To Australia Because Of Flume" September 11, 2013
Flume recently took to social media to make a heartfelt shout out to his electronic music-making brethren Down Under.
"Just wanted to say how proud I am to be a part of Australian Electronic music scene right now, and its not just me."
he wrote. "I've been travelling the world for the past 6 months and I'm constantly getting asked in interviews about the
"Australian sound" and this new wave of producers. I never thought much of it, being part of this new wave and all,
but after this trip to the USA I'm starting to see it from an outsiders perspective. Australia, we've got something
pretty special going on here, we've got our own sound, and the worlds [sic] starting to take notice."
English music journalist Phoebe Hurst has become so enamoured with Australia's thriving scene that she is relocating to Australia.
Some people move overseas to follow their hearts. Phoebe Hurst is following the music. Her story is a good reminder of just how terrific
that thing both she and Flume refer to as the 'Australian sound' really is right now.
Can anything really compete with a country that gave us David Bowie, Radiohead and Brian Eno?
From Prog Rock to Dubstep, music movements are born here..........
But as the lights dimmed, I sensed that something potentially life-changing was about to happen. A moist surge of bodies propelled me towards
the infinity prism and Flume entered the stage. The front row went from polite to pit within seconds, LEDs flashed and, at the centre of it
all, Harley Streten ducked the bass dives and ecstatically gurned out the peaks. In the midst of the euphoria, with the semi-pornographic
visuals of ‘You and Me’ searing into my eyes, I finally admitted defeat: Australia might just have the coolest music scene in the world.
Nowadays, the Australian buzz band is a well established thing and musos are tripping over themselves to pin down the ‘dreamy, delectable and ever-so-slightly dangerous’
Australian sound.
Ninety percent of the stuff I’ve been listening to, writing about and clogging up my friends’ newsfeeds with (if any of my online
acquaintances didn’t know who Chet Faker was before, they do now) has been Australian in origin. Jagwar Ma’s Howlin’ is already my favourite
album of 2013 and I won’t even mention the debt it owes to the Happy Mondays.
So what does a diligent music journalist/recent English Lit. grad with questionable employment skills do? Go straight to the source.
I’ve decided to up sticks and relocate to the world’s new music hub.
