App of the Day!
We’ve all heard about Spotify and Pandora and ReverbNation and Vevos and iTunes Radio and alllll the rest of them and they’re all pretty wonderful and everyone usually has their staunch favorite, (as do we) but we want to introduce a little newbie to the gang. He deserves some love too!
Please, a welcoming round of applause for Rormix.
A music video streaming app that aims to delight your visual and aural senses, yes, but also to introduce you bands that you won’t hear or see on the other guys (yet). See, Rormix is for unsigned bands.
Once downloaded, the app will scan your song library so that it can provide appropriate recommendations. Within a few seconds you get your first selection of videos.
And then you enjoy some new talent. Dance, if you like.
Because the video’s are unsigned, of course, you can’t buy the tracks yet, which is a bummer. What you can do is favorite them, click through to the artists’s social media and post the video onto your own social media. You’re being entertained, and you’re doing PR in return by telling people how great the artist is. Like a rainbow circle of karma!
Starting this month, this idea goes further into the matrix – as users make comments and share the content, they can earn points. With a certain number of these points, you can download tracks for a period of time. Score more points and you can keep the music on your device, for longer.
The App then places high-scorers’ recommendations above those of others, and points can qualify the user for some awesome perky premiums such as free concert tickets from the company.
So, interested in being the ultimate cool kid? Listening to and watching some awesome unsigned talent first? Being the pointsmaster? Being in control of helping new talent emerge?
You know what to do. It’s available for free from the App Store.
