ARE RAVERS GETTING TOO SPOILED?! | I'M PEAKING EP. 102

Are ravers getting too spoiled?! 👀 In Episode 102 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we get into whether expectations for massive visuals, surprise guests, and bigger productions are getting out of hand, and whether gatekeeping is actually good for rave culture. We discuss Berghain’s selective door policy, what our social lives would look like if we stopped raving, and whether rising costs are pricing people out of the scene. We also recap the Pokémon rave with Alison Wonderland and Marshmello, and react to deadmau5’s take on prerecorded DJ sets, Subtronics on the dubstep community, and raves for toddlers. Plus, long lines at Gryffin and $25 for one chicken tender and fries?! We’ve got questions. 😂 Buy an I'M PEAKING Jersey: http://impeakingpod.myshopify.com/End Overdose Giving Tuesday Silent Auction: https://endoverdose.my.canva.site/auction2026Grab a Rave Beetle hydro bag (code PEAKING to save): https://www.ravebeetle.com/collections/all-packGrab a BoomBoom (code IMPEAKING to save): https://boomboomnaturals.com/RP Strength Hypertrophy App (code PEAKING to save on membership): https://rp.app/hypertrophy/code/peakingTickets to Kat's Your Shot showcase (use code KACHOW): www.intix.com/event/your-shot-la-showcase-2026/informationCHECK OUT OUR PATREON (for bonus content) - https://patreon.com/user?u=87212419FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:I'M PEAKING PodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/impeakingpod/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@impeakingpodFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/impeakingDevin LarscheidYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@devinlarscheidInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/devinlarscheid/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@devinlarscheidFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/indevinitelyThreads - https://www.threads.net/devinlarscheidBrinda Arreygue (aka Wavybrin)YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@Brindaarrey Instagram - https://instagram.com/Wavybrin TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wavybrinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/wavybrinDaniel Jun (aka Bassbaedaniel)YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bassbaedanielInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bassbaedaniel/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@UCWQ3hBeb8cu15UzM7HxIylg Threads - https://www.threads.net/@bassbaedanielJan DanielleInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thejandanielle/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thejandanielleCharlotte Petuhov (aka Queen Sarlotka)YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUvXOEdiwy5VT95o0t5he5wInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/queen_sarlotka TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@queen_sarlotkaKat ChauYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@itsKatChauInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/itskatchau/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatchauSEGMENTS:0:00 - Coming up...0:54 - What would your social life look like without raving?7:38 - Meet the hosts + Freshen up with BoomBoom10:24 - Pokémon threw a rave with Alison Wonderland & Marshmello?!18:04 - Nightlife security costs + What went wrong at Gryffin’s show?!25:21 - Gear up with Rave Beetle hydro bags35:01 - End Overdose’s Giving Tuesday auction39:09 - Is gatekeeping actually good for rave culture?!50:37 - Are ravers getting too spoiled?!58:20 - Ultra 2027: Are B2Bs becoming the main attraction?1:05:25 - Reach your fitness goals with RP Strength1:12:33 - Would you take your toddler to a rave?!1:15:44 - Subtronics on the power of the dubstep community1:18:47 - deadmau5 gets REAL about prerecorded DJ sets1:24:24 - This two-person tower is INSANE!!1:25:44 - This is what the rave community is really about1:29:18 - He used PARKOUR to sneak into Day Trip?!1:32:58 - What happened with the lines at Gryffin’s show?!1:34:34 - $25 for ONE chicken tender and fries?!1:40:10 - Another rainy festival?! iii Points gets soaked1:41:21 - He just wants to listen to Clarity!!1:43:50 - What is HAPPENING at this rave?!1:46:17 - Kat Chau’s Your Shot DJ showcase1:48:00 - Patreon + Outro #ravers #edm #raves #impeaking #podcast #edmfestivals
