The app was developed in Phonegap for Android (later also for iOS) and was used primarily during the Space Odyssey 2.0 exhibition on tablets.
Thanks to my Spotify app Muzikant Rijk Genk I got the chance to make a Deezer app for Graspop Metal Meeting, one of the biggest metal festivals in Europe. Just like Spotify Deezer is a music streaming service. I developed this app using json, php and basic webdesign skills. The app contains tracks from all the bands performing at the 2012 edition. The big difference with an ordinary playlist or radio channel on Deezer is that the app is completely designed within the corporate identity of Graspop Metal Meeting. The advantages of the app for the organisation is obviously branding.
You can find the app here.
People always associate the city Genk with the mines, but did you know that Genk has a rich music history as well? Bands like Iron Maiden, Dire Straits & Motörhead frequently performed in Genk. The city is also home to a lot of known artists, Rocco Granata & Danny Mommens (Vive La Fête) being just a few. It seems logical that all this information is stored somewhere, not only to never be forgotten, but also to recollect those nostalgic moments. That's exactely what the Spotify app Muzikant Rijk Genk does. It's a storage for all those fragments of Genk's rich music history, but it's also a platform to listen to those tunes and to discuss them. Furthermore it can even be used as a promotional tool for young bands from Genk.
