Aaah Sweden. Land of good design and and place where minimalism lives. The land of gorgeous blondes and hot cinnamon rolls has a lot going on in the dance music scene as well. In friskyRadio Loves Sweden, we will be showcasing 10 of the brightest and upcoming talent to come out of the country recently.

So mark your calendars to take a musical journey through Sweden on 07 November 2009. After all a country that brought us the Swedish Bikini Team & and IKEA has gotta be doing something right!

In the ‘friskyRadio Loves…’ shows we pick a region, place, city or country in the world and showcase some its top and upcoming DJs and artists. That way we get a flavour of the region’s unique underground sound and get a glimpse into their culture like no other.

2,325,291 - Thats the number of people (thats YOU!) that tuned into the friskyRadio streams in September 2009. Thats 2 million, 325 thousand and 291 people. As much as some cities!

While the number is staggering and we are humbled that so many of you love the music and that our DJs play each and every day for you, we’re not stopping any time soon. Behind the scenes are have been hard at work on the next-generation friskyRadio website. The website redesign project has been in flight since at least summer 2007, when the idea first came into our minds… However, things, other things and most of all our “real lives” got in the way. Remember friskyRadio still continues to be a “side project” and this is not something that we do full-time unlike so many other radio stations in this space. However, we feel the time has come and it is now to take friskyRadio to the next level.

So cheers to all 2,325,291 of you for coming to this little freaky party we call friskyRadio. The best is yet to come… Until then - stay frisky!

Greetings from Ira - friskyRecords’ Label Manager.

This is super exciting I have to share it with y’all: our next big release at the end of the month, “Am Alive” with newcomers Dr. K & Nii vs. Shiha, featuring brand new vocal sensation Sarah Blacker and allstar remixers Martin Roth, DJ Tarkan & V-Sag, and Tone Depth, has been included on prog trance legend Andy Moor’s newest mixed CD!

Martin Roth’s remix appears as track 03 on the first disc of this 2xCD mixed compilation “Breaking the Silence” and you can check the soundclip here:

You can also early preview all versions of the track at junodownload!

Am Alive releases September 29 exclusively on Beatport.

Everyone loves charts. Not only do they feed the ego, they give a good insight into whats popular and what might need a swift kick in the butt to get going…

friskyRadio continues to grow leaps and bounds and I couldn’t more happier for our artists and fans! In addition to already being the Number 1 most listened to station for the genre ‘Progressive House’ [Com Score, March 2009] on the web, friskyRadio broke into the Top 50 all-time stations based on TTSL on the SHOUTcast network of radio stations. Thats Top 50 out of more than 30,000 stations!

Germany: 9.55%
United States: 8.82%
Greece: 6.97%
Hungary: 6.11%
Turkey: 5.59%
Argentina: 5.23%

We dont plan on stopping any time soon. Coming up later this year is the complete top-to-bottom redesign of the friskyRadio website. Target date for launch into public beta of the new site is sometime before the end of the year.

Thanks for making friskyRadio the only destination for quality progressive house music on the web! Rock on!

Aaaah Spring. Weather is getting warmer, days longer and the skirts shorter.   With that, as is always the case on friskyRadio, its Spring Cleaning time!  Somce shows will be juggled around, some shows will be leaving the roster and no longer be continuing on friskyRadio.  More on that later.  However, right now I want to highlight just some of the new show shows that will be starting in the month of June:

High Heeled Geeks. Hosted by Laura Seh and RoMix - better known as the duo Femmes on Decks are making friskyRadio a little more frisky with their sexy beats and cool sounds. Both of these ladies have been on frisky before and everytime they have impressed me with their unique sounds and unparalleled professionalism. Catch the debut show on June 10 at 03pm PST

2DC+1. 2 Damn Cheeky consists of New York duo Rich Foster and Rob Keith. 2DC+ 1 is a show dedicated to bringing you our slant on the best electronic music out there. The show is broken up into 2 segments, the first part a journey into more progressive sounds ranging from electronica, tech house and breaks the second more upfront and energetic slice of our live sound. Catch the debut show on Tuesday, June 2 starting at 09AM PST.

24 Million Seconds. Monaque consists of Russian Serge Que and American Alex Monakhov. The show will be either a one hour mix from the guys and a one hour guest mix from some of the best DJs in the world, or a full 2 hour journey which will cover all forms of underground music from ambient to deep tech, from techno to tribal and progressive. You can grab the debut show now from the friskyRadio Subscription.

FREEZE. FREEZE is the first show of its kind: a blend of radio show and a magazine features. Hosted by friskyRadio favourite Michel Zola, the show will be augmented by a feature article on FREEZE Magazine, a monthly Dance Music & Lifestyle Magazine based in Greece. Dont miss the debut show on June 15 starting at 01PM PST with a special guest Dousk.

friskyRadio is unlike any other radio station - we take pride in being ultra selective. We do not just hand out shows willy nilly.  Out of every 100 or so show requests we get on a weekly basis - only 1 or 2 make it to the frisky lineup in a given month.  So the fact that these shows are starting on friskyRadio - you know they are not to be missed!
