That 'Jump Smokers Sound' will do more than make you move, it will make you think and laugh (likely at the same time.) Jump Smokers have created the buzz record of the moment called "Don't Be A Douchebag" (available for download now at iTunes). "Douchebag" was created more as a public service announcement -- the group frankly grew sick of seeing those kinds of guys while hanging out at their favorite hot spots, which is what inspired the edgy yet comedic lyric, performed on top of another killer J.S. electro beat.

The Chicago based crew have created dance club anthems that have led industry insiders to nickname them "Kings of the Dancefloor". Remixes including Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" (included on the worldwide release "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel"), New Boyz' "You're A Jerk", Baby Bash & Pitbull's "Outta Control" and Three 6 Mafia "Shake My" have helped solidify Jump Smokers as the emerging force in crossover dance music. With more remixes coming from artists like Mariah Carey, Rihanna and Beyonce - not to mention their major label debut album, there's little doubt that 2010 will be the year that the rest of the world discovers what Chicago and parts of the US already knows - the Jump Smokers are the official club rockers!
