I think of those, The ones I really enjoyed were Sleepwakers, Strangers, Clarity and particularly the Lorde remix. That seemed almost KLFs Chill Out, for some reason.

I mean its a big genre, but a lot of EDM released at the moment like Flumes stuff is a bit vanilla ice cream to me. I certainly dont hate it, and will listen to it, but its a bit bland to my taste and if theres another option available Ill go with that.

Flume has some fantastic remixes, I'm glad you enjoyed the Lorde one, it's widely regarded as his best and definitely his most popular one. Another one of his remixes that I think comes in second in both quality/popularity to the Lorde one is this one, you might like it too:

And I totally get what you mean by the modern releases these days being a bit vanilla, it's funny you mention that other Flume song I posted as an example of that, because lots of people feel the same way about the newer direction he's taking with his more pop-sounding releases. I personally love some vanilla sounding stuff like that here and there just because I like the catchiness/feelsy aspect to it, but I can definitely see how one can find it bland.

If you enjoyed that Lorde remix, you'd probably like his older sound that is definitely similar to KLF's Chill Out (just listened to that, thanks for that btw I liked it a lot), give his self-titled debut album a listen whenever you get the chance. It's a bit less ambient and has more moving parts to it than Chill Out, as he adds a bit of wonkiness to his songs, but still a super chill listen (especially the second half of the album). It's in my top 5 electronic albums of all time; songs like Holdin On, Sleepless, and Insane are among my favorite electronic songs ever:
