Ever since Scenario Rock seemed to have just faded away I always wondered what DVNO has been up to. I love their first album “Endless Season” especially the track “Modern Epicureans” and I was blown away by “Both Gotta Move On” off “Histrionics”. DVNO is back with this emotional remix of Jamaica’s “I Think I Like U2” which is a nice peak into what DVNO has in store. #SoEmotional

HURTS are a shoegaze 80s sounding synth pop group from the UK that I just discovered. Dark, tragic and thoughtful music full of great pop hooks. Depeche Mode for Twenty Ten. Jamaica transforms “Better Than Love” into a pop French synth tune. Expect big things from both groups this year.

HURTS – Better Than Love (Jamaica Remix)

“Wonderful Life” was my first introduction to HURTS – a song that evokes memories of Annie Lennox and Depeche Mode.

The French Power Pop Rock duo Jamaica has been making marks all over the interwebs with their newest single “I Think I Like U 2” in all its various incarnations via its amazing music video by SO-ME and remixes by the likes of the mighty Breakbot. Jamaica compiled a great party mix entitled “The Bermuda Party Compilation Mix” a mix that resembles a 2 Many DJ’s set mixed with a Jean Nipon and Breakbot mix. In other words an amazing collection of tunes that educates and keeps you dancing.

When I hear this remix all I hear is sunshine and 70s Yacht Rock goodness. May the summer breeze blow through your hair!

Fantastic new video by Mr. SO-ME and Thomas Jumin. Love the entire concept. Also a nice little cameo by Mr. Zdar. Looking forward to the album especially what kind of production work Xavier de Rosnay has done. I am a big fan of the track on the latest Kitsune Masion 9, “Short and Entertaining”

PONEY PONEY recently announced they are changing their name to – JAMAICA. Thoughts? I guess it is a marketing move so that we don’t confuse them with Pony Pony Run Run.
