Shredding the Slopes of Mythic Mountain
May 3rd, 2013 | Kevin Dubienski

Mythic Mountain was the first in-house app undertaking of 2013 as a collaboration between Calgary agencies Decoder & Uppercut.
mythic_mountain - By Decoder & Uppercut

When I first opened the app it was a blast from the past!  All I could think was “this is a mystical badass snowboarding version of Ski Free” back when Windows 95 was mind blowing.  The goal of Mythic Mountain is simple, stay boarding for as long as you can, collect gold coins, and avoiding nasty obstacles.  The more coins you collect, the more characters and tools you can unlock.  Fancy a swing of Thor’s hammer Mjölnir? Feel like slaying with King Arthur’s sword Excalibur?  If so, game on, and for free! read more

Expand Your Playlist With Remixes
January 25th, 2013 | Connor Turner

Remixes - By Decoder & UppercutLast year, just before the holiday season kicked into gear, Calgary app developers Decoder and design collective Uppercut quietly launched the Soundcloud powered app Remixes. For those of you who enjoy the creativity of the mash-up/cover/remix culture that has overtaken the music industry since the beginning of the decade, Remixes is a must have app on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

This stunningly beautiful app works by sorting through your existing collection of tracks on your iTunes library. From there it scours Soundclound’s vast catalog of unique music; matching remixes, covers, live versions of the tracks contained in your library. Once these tracks are added to Remixes, users can pop in to their favorite artist or track, select the track they want to hear a variant on and get a full list of available tracks. Then users can favorite any newly discovered track for listening to later or share with their social networks. Remixes also will search through your library to connect you with a list of recommended Radio stations for even further music exploration. read more
