We at Bounce Mobile are pleased to announce the newly launched free Absolute 80s Remixer App for iPhone, and iPod Touch. Our talented team have worked with Absolute radio to design, develop and create a new innovative application to extend the popular Absolute 80s brand and provide their weekly reach of 894,000 listeners, with a new form of playful interaction and engagement.
The Absolute 80s Remixer app has been crafted by our team of exceptional developers to create a simple, easy to use, friendly interface for consumers to choose, mix, download and share their favourite tracks with friends across Facebook.
Paul Hardcastle, producer of the famous '19' track which is available to remix within the app, said ?To be honest I didn?t think it would be as good as it is and well? I?m blown away by it. It?s technology at its best and 19 works brilliantly on it."
The Absolute 80s Remixer App is packaged with two free tracks and offers the choice to download more in-app for just �£1.99 each. A line of labels and artists are waiting to get on board and join mixable tracks from the likes of Go West?s ?We Close Our Eyes? and ?Call Me?, ABC?s ?Poison Arrow? and ?Look of Love?, Howard Jones ?Like to Get to Know you Well?, M?s ?Pop Muzik?, Wang Chung?s ?Everybody Have Fun Tonight? and ?Dance Hall Days?, Katrina and the Waves ?Walking on Sunshine?, Dead or Alive?s ?You Spin Me Round? and Soft Cell?s ?Tainted Love?.
This project signals the first in a long line of media-brand partnerships that Bounce Mobile are involved in and will be revealing in the near future.
