10:21pm: Flume was as humble at the press conference as he was on stage, admitting he's feeling the heat as Australia's electronic music whiz kid.

He doesn't come from a musical family (although his dad did play saxophone "for a while"). Where does his talent come from then? "I've just always been so interested in tones and textures [in music]."

Did he feel the weight of expectation with so many nominations tonight? All the pre-awards talk was about him after all. "I don't wanna be that [insincere] guy 'yeah I'm just so happy to be nominated for an award, but I actually am! I didn't feel the weight tonight, but I do feel the weight for the next album, for sure."

What's next? "I've been constantly on tour for about a year and it's been amazing, but looking very forward to getting home and just writing some new music really. I've just got a [new] studio in Sydney so it's going to be good. But it is going to be weird because it's always been a hobby of mine and now there's expectation."
