ELECTRONIC wunderkind Flume has taken out his first ARIA award after being named Breakthrough Artist of the Year.

The 22-year-old producer/remixer, whose real name is Harley Streten, is up for six more awards on Sunday night.

"Jesus. Wow. Thank you," he said as he accepted the award.

"It's kind of funny that this Flume thing started as a house project.

"I never thought much of it. It wasn't until Chris, my friend, he suggested that I sign onto future classic and I did that and it's kind of taken off and it's been a whirlwind."

Guy Sebastian won best pop release for his album Armageddon, outgunning Empire Of The Sun, San Cisco, The Preatures and Vance Joy.

Sebastian missed out on picking up the award as he was running late but it was reannounced later so he could accept it.

He thanked his pregnant wife Jules and son Hudson who he said had inspired him.

"(This award) is very unexpected. I can say that because I think I've been nominated for twenty something (awards) and I haven't won yet and here I am," he said.

Five piece Perth band Karnivool won Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album with Asymmetry.

"First up thanks aria for the 'bogan' award," guitarist and founding member Andrew Goddard said.

"There's a lot more to heavy music ... it can even be intellectual, believe it or not.

"Let's face it it's the best f***ing genre here tonight."

Veterans Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds' album Push The Sky Away took out the award for Best Adult Contemporary Album, just moments after it was named Best Independent Release.

Cave, who wasn't in Australia to receive the award, accepted the gongs via video.

Country crooners Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson have won the award for Country Album at the ARIA awards in Sydney.

The duo, who have released two number one albums, took out the award with one of them, Wreck and Ruin, a warts-and-all look at married life.

The couple is no longer together.

Asked if it was a breakup album, he said: "If it is, it was some kind of fortune telling, like a future ... I find I don't really listen to albums once they're made but I've gone back and heard this record since... And that did occur to me.

"There were so many moments on that record that were signalling things that came further down the road."

X Factor winner Samantha Jade won best video for Firestarter.

"I'm shaking wow. This is very unexpected," she said.

"The video was classic. It was black and white... I guess that connected with people."

Best Blues and Roots Album was won by Sharkmouth by Russell Morris, who said he felt like "Moses coming out of the wilderness" with his first ARIA award.

He accepted the award in memory of his mother Helen.

Seventies soft rockers Air Supply were inducted to the ARIA Hall of Fame received a lifetime achievement award.

Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock thanked everyone who knocked their "drippy love songs".

"Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart," Lead guitarist Graham Russell said.

"Without you we never would have learned how to get up and fight back."

The audience was played a video montage tribute to the duo behind the hits lost In Love and All Out Of Love.
