Manchester agency Retrofuzz has been working with jazz label Blue Note Records to launch its new Spotify app this week.

Retrofuzz was appointed by the legendary label to design and develop the app in its entirety after winning a three-way pitch from EMI Music North America.

The app makes use of seminal music and iconic imagery to take the user on a curated journey through the label's vast catalogue.

Its features include Timeline, which allows users to browse the entire Blue Note Catalogue by instruments, sector and years, and Blue Note Break Beats, which lets listeners discover which legendary artists have been sampled by modern musicians.

“We are all music and technology fans equally here, so we love Spotify’s app platform,” said Jonathan McNamara, managing director of Retrofuzz.

“Ever since we originally signed up for Spotify in late 2008 we’ve had our own ideas about how we could extend the platform with our own apps, so to be able to put so many of our ideas into practice with such well respected clients is wonderful and feels like a real privilege."

This is the latest Spotify project for Retrofuzz, having already launched apps for Blur, PIAS, Absolute Music and Now That's What I Call Music.
