Maybe because our ears are still slightly ringing, it's hard to believe it's been a decade since the era of peak EDM.

Plus, we talk about new political challenges facing promoters who don't want guns at their festivals, the British big room star who is now a French farmer, and what the world's most famous whistleblower plays in a DJ set.
