It's perhaps fitting that, as the EDM bubble continues to inflate, one of the US' leading clubs can be found inside what used to be the home of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange.

And with its opening in 2010 coinciding with the dawn of the US dance explosion, it's difficult not to look to the four rooms of this sensory-blasting bastion as one of the engines driving an industry that's become something of a license to print money in recent years.

Where fiscal shares once defined this art deco building designed by Samuel Lunden in 1929, we now have superstar DJs like Fedde Le Grand and Paul van Dyk dominating what was once a trading floor.

And as the stocks of deeper forms of house and techno have risen across the Atlantic, Seth Troxler, Justin Martin and Eats Everything too have been invited to spin their magic recently, suggesting that even if the EDM balloon does eventually burst, Exchange will be in a position to weather the storm.
