David Guetta launches unique iPhone app, giving fans chance to interact with him in real-time

MXP4 partners with Redshift to create innovative features for Guetta app including interactive Tour Tracker and remixable music

David Guetta, the global hit-making French DJ and producer, today launched a unique iPhone app that gives users the chance to connect and share content with Guetta and other Guetta fans across the world in real-time. Created in partnership with MXP4 and Redshift, the app marks the first time music fans have been able to interact so closely with a major artist on their iPhones and iPod Touches.

The David Guetta iPhone app brings location-aware technology, Twitter feeds, MXP4-powered remixable music and more to the mobile music experience.

Key features include:

· MXP4 MIX IT and REMIX IT solutions: Transforms the iPhone and iPod Touch into a miniature mixing desk, allowing fans to remix and play with the smash hit ‘Sexy Chick’.

· TOUR TRACKER: An interactive world map that allows fans to see in real-time where David is mixing and DJing. Tour Tracker enables fans to connect to each by sharing their own location, pictures and comments on David Guetta’s DJ sets from all across the globe.

· REAL TIME UPDATES: The app delivers an ongoing feed of updates, photos, videos and tweets directly from David Guetta, giving comprehensive access to his world on the go.

Tailored specifically for EMI and David Guetta, the first release is available for download from the iTunes store today. The app will soon also be available for Google Android, Symbian and Windows phones.

The partnership with RedShift is vital to MXP4’s mobile strategy, according to Albin Serviant, MXP4 CEO: “This partnership is a key element of our strategy to extend the MXP4 interactive music solution beyond the web and onto the mobile platform, allowing consumers to play with music from any location. Together we have developed a clear roadmap, starting with the iPhone, before moving onto the Google Android and beyond. The clear strategic fit and the blend of expertise between us were vital in ensuring we are first to market with an interactive, dynamic mobile music solution.”

Albin Serviant, MXP4′s CEO added: “The launch of the iPhone app with EMI and David Guetta is an exciting first step forward, and a further demonstration that MXP4 has much to contribute to the music industry value chain. It marks a step change for mobile music.”

Our joint expertise will generate great mobile experiences for end users, and allow us to consolidate our leadership position on the D2C market of mobile applications.
