´óÏó´«Ã½

Today, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Mobile has announced that it will be providing exclusive content to audiences as part of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Electric Proms 2009.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Mobile has teamed up with Dizzee Rascal to provide his fans with the chance to play his samples and mash up his songs using a mobile soundboard. The application can be downloaded from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Mobile site, or accessed by texting player to 88111, and includes samples from some of his signature tunes.

The soundboard is live now to the majority of mobile phone owners, although not every *handset can be supported. This application will join elements on the mobile site introduced especially for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Electric Proms including exclusive interview audio, photo galleries, wallpapers, set lists and Twitter updates during the gig.

These new features, in addition to the recently introduced radio network pages and the increased personalisation aspects to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ mobile homepage, are all intended to enable audiences to stay connected to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ wherever they are.

Download your Dizzee soundboard at http://www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms/2009/mobile/.

Notes to Editors
