Mayer_Hawthorne-App

Mayer teamed up with Air Playd to release his own Android and iOS app game that allows users to experience the sensation of DJing in front of a packed house to unlock songs. The app was debuted today on Complex.com.

Gameplay entails hyping up the audience, while getting busy on the turntables. Points are accrued by “staying on beat” and tapping on sound effect bubbles floating around the room.

Beat the first level to unlock a stream of a brand new “Wine Glass Woman” remix and beat the second level to unlock an exclusive free download of the remix. It’s the best way to step behind the decks on your smartphone or tablet.

Download it now on iTunes & Google Play.
