A week after dropping their collaborative single, Track 1, Flume and JPEGMAFIA have announced the release of their forthcoming EP, We Live In A Society.
The Aussie DJ’s first new music since his pair of 2023 mixtapes (Things Don’t Always Go The Way You Plan and Arrived Anxious, Left Bored), which he created from unreleased gems across his career, Flume is back in the spotlight after a few years of quiet.
Track 1 was recorded during a loose recording session last year and showcases the undeniable musical chemistry between longtime friends and collaborators Flume and JPEGMAFIA. In addition to the already released Track 1, the EP also features Is It Real starring Ravyn Lenae, which was recorded before she released her viral track, Love Me Not, which has amassed over a billion streams.
The Track 1 music video arrived with a visual identity cooked up by filmmaker James Blagden, who captured the duo’s “chaotic seven-minute trip through time and space.” Check it out below.
We Live In A Society will be released this Friday, 2 May.

The EP marks the pair’s third collaboration. They first joined forces on How To Build A Relationship from Flume’s 2019 mixtape, Hi This Is Flume, and then on New Black History from JPEGMAFIA’s 2024 album, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU.
Arrived Anxious, Left Bored was a surprise release from Flume, released a few months before his 2023 headlining slot at Splendour In The Grass.
“This and the first Things Don’t… drop are a bunch of songs that I always loved that didn’t fit on a previous record,” Flume said at the time. “It’s cathartic, it feels really nice to clean the slate and make way for what’s next.”
Flume took out triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2022—winning the fan-voted countdown for a second time—with his song Say Nothing featuring MAY-A. The Aussie DJ overtook Spacey Jane, Gang Of Youths, Lizzo, and more to clinch the top spot.
