FLUME AND JPEGMAFIA SET NEW EP WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY FOR RELEASE THIS FRIDAY, MAY 2

INCLUDES LAST WEEK’S “TRACK 1,” “IS IT REAL” FEATURING RAVYN LENAE AND MORE

April 29, 2025—Following last week’s mind-bending “Track 1” video, Flume and JPEGMAFIA confirm the release of a new collaborative EP, We Live In A Society, out this Friday, May 2. The EP features three additional new songs including “Is It Real” with Ravyn Lenae.

Longtime friends, having collaborated on “How To Build A Relationship” from Flume’s much-lauded 2019 mixtape Hi This Is Flume and “New Black History” from JPEG’s 2024 LP I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, Flume and JPEGMAFIA got in the studio last year and laid down “Track 1” in one of their first takes.

Soon after, they recruited Ravyn Lenae to join them on “Is It Real” ahead of her track “Love Me Not” becoming the biggest single of her career to date, surpassing 1 billion streams worldwide.

We Live In A Society is Grammy-winning artist, producer and songwriter Flume’s first release since 2023, when he dropped two back-to-back mixtapes of previously unreleased material from throughout his career. He’s spent the time since mostly out of public view.

Flume exploded into global consciousness in 2011 when his early release “Sleepless” captivated Australia and quickly spread around the world. Since then, he’s released three widely acclaimed studio albums, three cult favorite mixtapes and a handful of EPs, and won countless accolades including 13 Arias, two Triple J Hottest 100 #1s and a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Album. He is a global headliner who has played lineup-topping sets at festivals worldwide including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Outside Lands, Japan’s Summersonic, Italy’s C2C and many more.

JPEGMAFIA (Barrington Hendricks, “Peggy”) is a multi-talented experimental rapper, producer, performer and leader in the experimental rap scene. He has released several critically acclaimed and prolific projects including Veteran (2018), All My Heroes Are Cornballs (2019), and (OFFLINE! 2021). He has sold-out headline tours globally and shared stages with artists including Playboi Carti, Gorillaz, Vince Staples, Ty Dolla $ign, Omar Apollo, Turnstile, Tinashe and Channel Tres, and made festival appearances at Coachella, Primavera Sound, Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Listen Out and many more.

In 2023, he went independent and released SCARING THE HOES, a collaborative album with one of his closest contemporaries, Danny Brown, to widespread critical acclaim and chart success. In August 2024 he released I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU which peaked in the Billboard Top 200 independently and further expanded his fanbase.

Ravyn Lenae arrived on the scene during the latter half of the 2010s with a trio of EPs that touched on styles ranging from house to synth-funk, with 2018’s EP Crush and its lead single “Sticky” making the biggest splash. HYPNOS, her critically acclaimed debut full-length, was released in 2022 via Atlantic Records, with Steve Lacy, Monte Booker and KAYTRANADA among its producers. Her sophomore album Bird’s Eye was released in August of 2024, garnering her critical acclaim from NPR, Pitchfork, Harper’s Bazaar, Billboard, The Guardian and The Washington Post, among others. Bird’s Eye notably features “Love Me Not,” which has emerged in recent months as the biggest single of her career to date.
