Chilean director Sebastián Lelio’s follow-up to his 2013 hit Gloria is a dazzling companion piece that once again focuses on a woman’s resilience in a world where what doesn’t kill you doesn’t necessarily make you stronger.

Last night, Australian sensation Flume gave us his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, and to say it was epic would be a major understatement.
Presenting us with 2 hours of music, including several of his own new tracks along with cuts from Vic Mensa, Jamie xx, Trimbal and many more, the mix most definitely left fans satisfied and showed us, once again, what a true tastemaker Harley Streten really is.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get any songs from the upcoming What So Not Ep, but there’s more than enough here to whet our appetites while we wait for that to drop.
Take a listen to Flume‘s impressive BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix below and be sure to leave a comment letting us know your thoughts on it.
