A new iPhone app from iKlax will celebrate the 40th anniversary of David Bowie's Space Oddity single by letting fans remix it.
The app will be released on 20th July on the App Store, and has been made by music developer iKlax. Fans can sign up on a dedicated website to be notified when the app goes live.
It ties in with an anniversary release of a digital EP featuring different versions of Space Oddity, as well as 'stems' that can be remixed in desktop music tools like GarageBand and Audacity.
However, the iPhone version may be more accessible for fans of the star.
It's the highest-profile deal yet for iKlax, which has previously made similar remixable iPhone apps for the Stereo MCs, 1 Giant Leap and Bob Sinclair.
Those apps were either free, or cost £0.59 in the UK App Store. It will be interesting to see if Bowie commands a higher price for his version.
