I'M PEAKING

This week we’re joined in the studio by Arron & Jose, the founders of Clutchloop, aka the guys who’ve probably saved more phones than festival security. We react to a wild phone-theft “phone graveyard” clip, debate camping-festival supremacy, test some very questionable Wii-controller phone-protection logic, and get into the reveal of the brand-new Clutchloop 2. This thing is disrespectfully clean and feels straight out of Apple-packaging vibes. Be sure to tune into this one as we hope you enjoy!! 🔥

In episode 85 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we’re diving deep into the culture, chaos, and evolution of EDM. From 2016 throwbacks to today’s festival madness, this episode covers everything, free shows gone wrong, festival safety, rising ticket prices, and whether PLUR is making a comeback. We kick things off by looking back at the 2016 EDM era (yes, Skrillex included 👀) and compare it to where the scene is heading in 2026. Then things get spicy, John Summit’s free show chaos, fans showing up in massive numbers, and the internet roasting DJs for not playing that one song. We also talk real issues: event planning failures, crowd safety, canceled EDC tickets, layaway plans, and the insane demand for festivals worldwide.
If you’re into festival culture, EDM history, or just love a good industry breakdown this one’s for you.

In episode 84 of the I’M PEAKING Podcast, we LOCK IN and sat down with DMZ News Official for an honest conversation about what’s really happening in the EDM scene right now. We talk festival red flags, mosh pit etiquette, social media brain rot, fake hype, and why the scene feels more serious than it used to.

We also dive into real community vs follower counts, how DMZ built trust while staying anonymous, whether content is helping or hurting music, and why PLUR isn’t dead — it’s just misunderstood.

Don't miss out on an episode where raw takes funny moments and a few uncomfortable truths the scene probably needs to hear that no one else could say 😮‍💨 Let us know what you think as we hope you enjoy!! ❤️🖤

In episode 83 of the I’M PEAKING Podcast, we sit down with Alexandra Sholler (aka Alison Wonderland) for a raw and honest conversation about why so many of us were searching for an escape when we first started raving, and where the rave scene feels like it’s headed today. From gloving and whether it’s starting to feel played out, to a wild Coachella story involving Alison’s mom, we discuss what self-expression and flow art really mean in the scene. We also get real as Alison opens up about being an “album artist,” playing shows while pregnant not once but twice, and addressing the negative comments she’s faced along the way. She also shares the deeper meaning behind her music and a moment in her journey where she almost quit from it entirely 🥺 Nothing but wild, deep, and nostalgic conversations you won’t hear anywhere else. Be sure to tune into this one as we truly f*** it up on a SPIRITUAL LEVEL 🖤
