David Guetta, the hit-making DJ and music producer, today announced the US launch of his first interactive album app on the iPhone. Created with MXP4 and Redshift, the app marks the first time music fans will be able to interact closely with a major artist on iPhones and iPods by sharing remixed music and connecting with Guetta and other fans in real-time.

Brining location-aware technology, Twitter feeds, MXP4-powered remixable music and more to mobile music, the David Guetta iPhone app features include:

  • MXP4 MIX IT and REMIX IT solutions: Transforms the mobile device into a mini-mixing desk, allowing fans to remix and play with the smash hit ‘Sexy Chick.’
  • TOUR TRACKER: An interactive world map that shows, in real-time, where David is mixing and DJing while allow fans to connect and share location, pictures and comments.
  • REAL TIME UPDATES: Live feed of updates, photos, videos and tweets directly from David Guetta.

The launch marks the first product from MXP4’s partnership with Redshift. The partnership puts MXP4’s interactive music solution on the mobile platform. In addition to the iPhone, the app will soon also be available for Google Android, Symbian and Windows phones.

“Together we have developed a clear interactive mobile music roadmap. The strategic fit and blend of expertise between MXP4 and Redshift were vital in delivering the first interactive, dynamic mobile music solution,” said Albin Serviant, CEO of MXP4.
