Andy Cato, one half of the dance music act Groove Armada, has signed up with O2 to be the first independent artist to regularly release new tracks specifically for mobile phone customers to download.

In an attempt to gain control over digital downloading, Cato will make two tracks available exclusively to O2 Mobile customers each week. Released within days of their creation, the tracks will cost £1 each to download and Cato and O2 will split the revenue equally.
