The use of iPhone and iPod Touch applications have rapidly grown in popularity with over 970,000,000 (million) from the ‘app store’ on iTunes since its launch last July. Paul van Dyk’s specially created application by Zip Design, developed by Yuza Mobile, will appeal to fans, music enthusiasts and professional DJs alike, featuring a BPM Counter, Frequency Analyzer, Decibel Meter, Seismic Reader, Virtual Glow Stick, DJ Check List and an Itinerary Manager. The app will be available in localized language versions in many countries, reflecting PvD’s global popularity.
Alongside his DJing and production, Paul van Dyk is also renowned for his charity work, pioneering music projects that include working with The HR Symphony Orchestra (http://www.paulvandyk.com/share/mdp09/), high profile collaborations and remixes for some of the world’s biggest rock and pop artists. The Paul van Dyk iPhone Application joins this list of innovative and boundary-breaking ideas that have helped to shape the career of one of the most forward-thinking and recognizable names in electronic music.
"I have had great fun being a part of the development team for my app over the past few months and think that both aspiring and professional DJs will have great fun using it. On a practical level, it includes everything that a DJ needs," says Paul van Dyk.
“Paul van Dyk is without a doubt one of electronic music’s greatest pioneers and of course a role model for a generation of budding DJs and producers,” says Richard Skaife CEO Yuza Mobile. “It’s been a pleasure working with him and his team delivering his iPhone application, a real first for an artist of his caliber. The PvD DJ APP is a tool kit for today’s DJs, from a BPM counter to an itinerary manager. It’s like having your own personal tour manager on your iPhone.”
The PvD DJ App will be available on iTunes worldwide late May 2009 and will cost $1.99 in the U.S.
