MXP4, the interactive music platform, has teamed up with Ministry of Sound to create an interactive MXP4 MIXTAPE version of The Annual 2010 that enables dance music fans to create their own unique mixes of tracks from the likes of Dizzee Rascal, David Guetta and Calvin Harris.

The Annual 2010 MXP4 MIXTAPE http://mxp4.com/mixtape/theannual2010 consists of a playlist of 10 tracks from the compilation that can be seamlessly mixed together, using innovative MXP4 technology, at the click of a button.

Kick off, for example, with Dizzee Rascal’s ‘Holiday’, then press play on any of the other 9 tracks, and MXP4 technology working in the background will cue up and generate seamless transitions between the two. You can also set the MXP4 application to transition randomly between all tracks at a point in time specified by you (every 30 seconds, for example), allowing you to create an entirely unique automix of the playlist every time you listen.

The MIXTAPE module also includes links enabling you to ‘Share’ it virally and ‘Buy’ the album from iTunes and beyond.

Albin Serviant, MXP4 CEO, said: “We’re really excited to be working with Ministry of Sound on their biggest release of the year. Giving music fans the chance to play with the tracks provides them with more incentive to engage with the album as a whole, at a time when driving sales of albums is a priority for the music industry. We’re really seeing users of our MXP4 modules stick around and play with the music for significant periods of time - over 8 minutes per track in some instances, which is testament to the highly interactive, immersive experience MXP4 provides.”

Jason Reed, Digital Marketing Manager, Recordings, Ministry of Sound, said: “Working with MXP4 on this project has allowed us to create a highly engaging way for people to discover our defining album of the year. The mixtape widget provides a more personalised and customisable experience in terms of previewing and discovering the tracks, while the remix contest really takes engagement to another level - allowing people to show off their creativity and become actively involved in this project.”

In addition to The Annual 2010 MIXTAPE, MXP4 and Ministry of Sound today launched a remix contest that gives producers, musicians and DJs access to exclusive audio stems of Tina More’s single ‘Touch Me’ to use in creating their own remix of the track. Participants will be able to upload their tracks to the MXP4-powered module at http://www.ministryofsound.com/annual2010remix , where fans can vote for their favourite. From the 5 most popular remixes, one winner will be selected by Ministry of Sound and receive a 1 Day Super Club DJ Experience with Ministry of Sound’s DJ Academy at their world-famous club. The winner will also have their remix featured on Ministry of Sound’s official site and newsletter.
