The iPhone is the perfect platform for completely addicting games that have the capability of eating up hours of otherwise productive time. I have not found many apps outside of the game genre that have qualities that would make them truly addicting. That is why I am so impressed with FingerPiano. There are a lot of synthesizer, DJ mixer type apps in the App Store, and some of them are really fun to use, you can create very complex music with mini-professional mixing devices. FingerPiano does something totally different than any other app in the Music genre, it allows you to play classic songs yourself on a piano keyboard, guiding you through each song.

My old roommate is famous. He went from a shy, unassuming, nice, quiet little jewish boy to a record spinning, trance music cranking, 3 day and night  bump and grind dancing, hot, sweaty techno-bashing party producer. Like raves, only not like raves-way, way better. Like people fly in from Europe for his parties. This is an app he'd flip for, or any other true lover of trance, dance or techno would flip for. This is an app that defines indie in every way.

I wasn't completely sure what Mujik was when I first decided to give it a review. Maybe that's the reason it attracted my attention, with so many uncreative and repetitive apps available, it drew my attention. I'm glad it did.

Mujik is a music application that creates trance/club/industrial music. It is really pretty amazing how such a simple app can draw you in for extended periods of time. Put the headphones on and prepare to self-dj yourself into the world of rhythm.
