I'll Be Ready

Sunblock

Stockholm

WE SAY

The Baywatch theme is the biggest bootleg on the Northern dance scene for some time. There are several versions - the excellent UK Mix forum has details. At least one version will be a big hit, and right now Sunblock are the frontrunners. The official promos are out there in clubland, the video is made (WMA, Real), and it's already picking up playlists including The Box, Radio 1, Vibe and some Big City Network stations. The people behind it are Swedish DJs Martin Pihl and Magnus Nordin, and it's coming out through Manifesto in the UK.
