Detritus reaches the inglorious finale of what some (us) are calling The Summer of Love trilogy. After the deeply British, hazy rave memories of Fatboy on the beach and a wide-eyed Keith Allen emerging from an MRI tube, we're turning back the party clock a decade, sailing across the Atlantic to sniff the already past-it chemtrails of ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC. Or EDM, as they call it. Was this really the most significant countercultural youth movement in America since Grunge? Or was it really a load of old shit?
John and Jack spend time with two films: 2015's 'We Are Your Friends', starring former High School Musical favourite Zac Efron as a chronically depressed mashup of AJ Soprano and Fred Again, then the altogether more sobering 'I Am Tim', celebrating the life of genre-pioneer, Avicii.
Can the pod handle the level of emotional dissonance between drops this massive and events this tragic? Can you? Can us? There's only 'One' by Swedish House Mafia way to find out.
Plus, scene reports from Friendly Fires Fanbase, William Orbit and Ricky Gervais's collapse into a big tray of catshit.
