Podcast: I'M PEAKING
Published On: Wed Apr 22 2026
Description: In episode 89 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we get into the ongoing debate between underground vs mainstream rave culture, the rise of festival fence hopping (and why it’s becoming a real problem), and whether the scene is starting to lose what made it special in the first place. We also talk Coachella chaos, Levity vs Sabrina Carpenter, AI-generated music creeping into EDM, and the bigger question: does the crowd matter more than the DJ? Plus, a real conversation on harm reduction, naloxone, and why looking out for each other is what keeps rave culture alive.Let us know in the comments: Are underground raves more clicky than festivals… or are we overthinking it?
