OK so perhaps the start of a new thread of posts for me – but there is such a HUGE amount of good music for your mobile out there right now, I figured it would be worth highlighting some tracks that are currently playing on my iPhone, and which I bought through iTunes.
Of course, it’s not as it once was, because iTunes have lifted DRM-lock, meaning you can get the tracks inside it for any player now, not just the iPod/iPhone – as long as your player is supporting AAC-LC format.
Right, onward and upward – first track that gets a mention is:
Another Dimension – Timmy Vegas and Bad Lay-Dee – just so we are clear, this track is a club banger! I can detect at least 2 samples/interpretations, but there’s a possible 3 actually – can you hear:
- Intergalactic – Beastie Boys (Lyrics)
- Gypsy Woman – Crystal Waters (Keys)
- The Power! – Snap (Percussion)
There could be some other stuff in there too! Let me know if you can hear something else. This is a HARD HARD track, with excellent mashup characteristics. Nice.
Camera Phone – The Game and Ne-Yo – I already posted on this – but check it out, a proper Rap and RnB collaboration that doesn’t disappoint. I’m buying the LAX album from The Game off the back of this single…
You Got the Love (Extended New Voyager Mix) – The Source ft. Candi Staton – how many remixes have there been of this song over the years? I have three I think! Anyway, this proves the effect of subliminal advertising, as I’ve been hearing this mix over the last couple of weeks – but I can’t remember where! No matter, this little-played mix (it’s not the same as the shorter New Voyager mix) is a beautiful dance track. I wish all music was this good. Candi Staton, what a legendary voice!
If you have any recommendations of tracks you think we should all be listening to on our mobile devices, leave a comment with the track details (title and artist), where we can get it, and why we should buy it 
You can get iTunes here.

As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
