Tapulous' Tap Tap Tour mobile game app licenses songs from MuseIQ's roster of independent artists
With the release of Tap Tap Tour, Tapulous is featuring independent artists from cutting edge production music library MuseIQ, having licensed over 70 songs from the recently-launched online catalog. The new roster of independent artists’ songs is a complement to Tap Tap‘s library featuring hundreds of songs from leading artists like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, Ke$ha, Bruno Mars and LMFAO.
Commenting on MuseIQ‘s catalog, Gwen Bethel Riley, Head of Business Affairs Music at Disney Mobile/Tapulous Inc. said “MuseIQ‘s curated catalog of indie artists, “Recordshop”, features a diverse selection of killer international artists and genres that appeal broadly to our Tour mode of worldwide gameplay. The ‘searchability’ of the catalog is also really, really easy to work with”.
Tap Tap Tour enjoyed immediate success at launch going to #1 on the appstore in over 30 countries worldwide illustrating that both the gaming and the app industry are opening up new avenues for indie artists to dramatically expand their audience reach and grow their sales from new revenue streams. “This is a great vindication for MuseIQ in how we curate and make easily available the most relevant new independent music and it’s a real boost to the artists represented in our library”, said Augustus Skinner, co-founder and CEO of MuseIQ.
One of the songs licensed by MuseIQ to benefit from being featured in Tap Tap Revenge 4, that surged to #1 in the App store with 25,000 downloads within the first hour of its release, was Kat De Luna’s "Drop It Low". Over a one week period of appearing in the game De Luna’s tune jumped into the Billboard Dance Charts Top 20. “It’s exciting to see our licensing efforts make such a tangible impact on our artists’ sales", remarked Ronan Coleman, co-founder and COO of MuseIQ.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
