This Week's Best EDM, Featuring Diplo, Gesaffelstein, and Hucci

By @khal for DoAndroidsDance.com

This week has been one of celebration and reflection at Pigeons & Planes. The P&P crew celebrated five years of existence. Huge feat for any entity, and I fully applaud them. Way less glorious is that I've been around these parts for a year now, and giving you electronic music on the regular (for good or ill). I figured it made sense that Mecha-Najavu stop by and whip up some ice cream for you ladies and gents while I walk you through a particularly-awesome week in dance music.

1.

2. Diplo's "Revolution" EP

Diplo's latest is due out on October 8, and this quick mix shows you that you're probably not ready for his jelly.

3. Gesaffelstein - "Hate or Glory"

This could be one of the best music videos of 2013. And Gesaffelstein's Aleph will probably be one of the best albums of 2013.

4. Hucci's "Rose Gold" EP

The 17-year-old UK trap don is back with a new EP highlighting why I've championed his potential for the last year.

5. Zeds Dead x Major Lazer ft. Elephant Man - "Turn Around"

Proper dancehall-into-moombahton-ish. Really heavy tune.

6. Mele’s "Mele Vanele Volume 2" Mixtape

Video game-inspired beats showcasing the next level of bass music. For free.

7. DJ Rashad & Heavee D - "It's Wack"

If you missed the download option on this... my bad. One of the best tracks from Grand Theft Auto V's FlyLo FM was given away for free. Sinister footwork excellence.

8. Kaytranada - "At All"

An awesome tune gets an equally-awesome/awkward video.

9. Body High's 2013 Fall Tour Compilation

Body High celebrates their fall 2013 tour with free bits from Samo Sound Boy, Jerome LOL, and the legendary Juan Atkins.

10. Noisia ft. Calyx & TeeBee - "Hyenas"

A massive meeting of the dnb minds.

11. AlunaGeorge - "Best Be Believing (Shadow Child Remix)"

This is what we call a two-fer; not only do we get an awesome new banger from Shadow Child, but we can add to our list of stunning AlunaGeorge remixes.

12. Kelela's "CUT 4 ME" Mixtape"

Beautiful vocals with awesome electronic soundbeds? I hope you've not slept on this one...

13. Victor Niglio ft. Mr. Man - "Jiggy"

The next wave of Philly dance music got his first Mad Decent-related release... and it bangs.

14. Cutline - "Crack It"

A huge dance music label that you might not know the name of has put out a free tune from a duo that you might not be up on. I wish I could reveal more info on one of those pieces, but I've been sworn to secrecy.

15. Samo Sound Boy - "The Ride"

Gotta love the build on this one. Samo done done it again.

16. Paradox - "I Led You"

A true drum & bass general, Paradox's 150th vinyl release finds him continuously pushing the breakbeat envelope. This one is for the aggressive heads.
