"We are very excited about the potential of this alliance, which enhances the current MSN strategy with its deep local market content and partnerships, resulting in an integrated vertical experience, and extending it across the Americas," stated Demian M. Bellumio, President of Hoodiny Entertainment Group, LLC. "We are extremely proud that MSN has adopted our service with such enthusiasm."

As part of the collaboration, the Cyloop team will administer the content and editorial aspects of the site, including the relationships with the music labels and artists. Hoodiny Productions, the digital content production arm of Hoodiny, will also be responsible for generating some additional exclusive editorial content for the MSN Cyloop music experience.

"We are excited about this collaboration with Cyloop, as it allows us to extend our existing local market partnerships and successes towards a full vertical music experience," says Greg Hayes, Regional Executive Producer, MSN Americas.

The Cyloop platform provides users with free access to thousands of artist profiles, including the complete music and video catalogs of major and independent record labels. Users can register for free to stream and share music and videos with friends from around the world, create custom radio stations, and form interactive playlists to build their own online music library.

In addition, Cyloop also offers a unique music experience through its patent-pending artificial intelligence engine, which combines a user's demographic and cultural information, with their activity on Cyloop, to generate recommendations specifically created for each user. For example, the Cyloop recommendation system powers its online radio service, where users can launch personalized radio stations simply by clicking on the name of their favorite artist. The system then automatically selects the most relevant artists and songs, and dynamically streams them back to the users. This results in a media experience tailored for each Cyloop member, the first of its type in the region.
