It’s a bit silly like the macarena, in fact it ‘borrows’ half of its routine from the 90s dance sensation. The Rolex Sweep is a song by Wiley & Skepta and is a grime anthem which no doubt would be huge in the UK this summer. The Rolex Sweep should also be huge globally as it sits somewhat in the middle of grime and electro so should be popular in both camps. Anyway here are some more hilarious attempts at the Rolex Sweep by some rather inebriated people.

They are a Coalition of Artists and Stake Holders and support their artists in a number of ‘alternative ways’. This is a new in a long list of new model ideas that have taken over the music industry. Basically, the new model means music is primarily FREE to the end user. Many do go on to support artists by buying signed merchandise, sponsoring and more. The future online is FREE, but this is not a bad thing.

If music and content is distributed free to the end user, but that content is monetised at source then a lot more people will be able to listen to music ‘guilt free’ while supporting new releases. They can then pay premium dollars for physical media and of course live appearances. I wonder what would be next in the wild frontier of online music.

We7 so far has the best strategy. The ads are embedded in the audio stream and will be listened to at least once. At the moment the ads are pointing back to We7 which seems like a sensible strategy as listeners are less likely to be irritated by an advert directing them to the site from which they came in the first place.

I have always been a fan of those athletic and talented YouTube booty dancers, who show such athleticism with their dance moves. But this girl outclasses them in a big way.

Not only do we have a girl in her underwear dancing, but she is also going crazy with a hula hoop and shows amazing talent that you actually end up watching her dance for what it truly is AMAZING !

The song is great as well.

I put this track on my mp3 player and was bopping all round the room to it. Bassline is the latest mutation from the UK Garage scene and has already spawned a number of top 10 singles and I suspect we can prepare for a bassline onslaught this summer. While a lot of bassline songs are similar to their electro house counterpart in that they are just noise and crap, there is now a move amongst the producers and writers of this style of music to create something with a bit of a melody to it. Ed Case and Oggie have done this with their remix thanks to SKT. This is a HIT HIT HIT ! Ministry of Sound should pick this up straight away.

It also has smooth UK Garage version as well which you can enjoy from the Tube.

Already hitting the top spot in her native Australia, Gabriella Cilmi’s album has now reached number 10 in the album charts. It did so despite a stuttering performance by her single “Sweet About Me” which didn’t crack the top 20 in the UK. “Lesssons To Be Learned” is a decent album and is likely to stay in the UK charts for a while. Good luck to Gabriella and here’s to a UK number one !

Ok I will ignore the blatant “My Guy” rip off, but I actually found this quite refreshing. I have been spending a while looking for some good music online and I must say that the British retro ‘movement’ is producing the best music at the moment.

Duffy, is a singer with a bright future and I think that everyone should look at the UK for future pop sensations who aren’t over-tuned to death or who haven’t fallen down the i’m too credible i forgot how to write decent tunes, pitfall.

Check out this lovely song by Alphabeat. Fascination is quite good and we can’t stop playing it here in the Myhotmusic offices. The video is quite simple and doesn’t take away from the song.

They kind of remind me of 80s pop group ABC with there simplicity. Check it out and download the single from iTunes if you like it.

I have just been listening to my favourite 80s songs and I find it hard to beat Sade’s “Sweetest Taboo” or Tears for Fears “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. These 2 songs will possibly feature in most people’s best 100 80s songs. Anyway enough of me waffling on about it. Have a listen to them now.

Check back and bookmark this page because I will be adding more songs to the playlist.
