Despite how it may seem, we do listen to what P&P readers have to say. Most of your ideas are horrible and self-centered, but every now and then you’re right. Noory and Aaron recently reached out (shoutout to Noory & Aaron!) and told us that they’re having a hard time keeping up with all the content. The obvious solution: check Pigeons & Planes more often. But I understand that some of you have “real lives” that don’t revolve around the internet.
In an attempt to make your lives easier and to highlight some of the posts on P&P that you may have overlooked, we’re going to try out a “Best Of The Week” feature where we’ll hand-pick some of the best stuff of the week. 10 posts that deserve a second chance in the spotlight. Sound good? Ready? Here we go.
Our resident Electronic Dance Music experts chose some EDM bangers for the 10th installment of the Dance Music Post feature.
