French duo Jamaica, the latest addition to the Ed Banger squad, arrived just in time for my springtime playlist. Their uber blogged single “I think I like U 2″ is accompanied by what may be my favorite video of the year. Oh, and these guys put out some excellent remixes as well…

Candyman, These Are Powers‘ latest EP, is loud, raw, and utterly perfect. From start to finish, the Brooklyn trio exudes a pure energy that lands somewhere between electro-pop, hardcore, and indie-rock. Topping lists at last month’s SXSW, I am more than excited to catch these guys live.

The Blisspop DC family rager returns this Saturday, April 17th at the new U Street Music Hall!
This party is a celebration of new, forward-looking dance music featuring some of the names involved in putting DC on the new EDM map in 2010. Tittsworth and Will Eastman just received noteworthy nods from none other than Fatboy Slim in his March Beatport Top 10 chart. Since their last Blisspop appearance, Nadastrom once again topped the Beatport best sellers chart with their Saved ep, and continue to dominate the remix game. Dmerit’s Stuck On You ep and upcoming ep demos have received nods from Scottie B and countless DJ heads in the know.
