Flume taps Vince Staples for his latest, 'Smoke & Retribution'

The Australian output delivers another single from 'Skin'

Harley Streten has done a fantastic job of building the anticipation behind his forthcoming album 'Skin', which remains dateless, but is set to land sometime in 2016.

After releasing a promising mini-mix and following up with the first single 'Never Be Like You', he's now ready to reveal a new flavor he'll be introducing on 'Skin' in the form of a new track in collaboration with rapper Vince Staples and Australia's Kučka.

'Smoke & Retribution' found a first world premiere play on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show and showcases the raw, but sensical way that Flume's future bass melodies match with the dichotomy of Vince's harsh rap verses and Kučka's ethereal vocals.

Listen to the premiere below.
