Has licensing deals with EMI, UMG and Hed Kandi for in-app downloads.
UK firm Bounce Mobile has launched its Fireplayer iPhone and iPad app, which lets music fans remix songs from artists including the Jackson 5, Taio Cruz and Tinie Tempah.
Fireplayer Remixer is free to download in the UK App Store, and involves tapping on a bank of samples and loops to create new versions of tracks, which can then be shared on Facebook.
The app comes preloaded with two tracks from Hed Kandi and South Central.
However, others are available to buy from an in-game store, including the Jackson 5's ABC, Taio Cruz's Break Your Heart and Rick James' Give It To Me Baby.
The tracks cost £1.79 each - possibly controversial, given that the actual songs can be bought for less than a quid on the iTunes Store.

Bounce Mobile has deals in place with Universal Music Group and other labels to add new tracks every week.
The company says it is working on Symbian and Android versions of the application, while also launching the iOS version beyond the UK.
"We’ve worked hard with key content providers to offer music across a range of musical genres, which gives Fireplayer mass market appeal and a unique proposition," says Bounce CEO Martin Macmillan.
"Our focus is on fun but our business model also means that artists, labels and publishers can drive new and complimentary digital revenue streams."
Fireplayer is by no means the only remix app of this type available on Apple's store, though. Skyrockit, ZOOZ Mobile and iKlax have all released remix apps for individual artists and labels.
Meanwhile, UK startup RjDj's technology, which allows people to remix songs by shaking and tapping their iPhone, has been used by Little Boots and Air.
