First up is a new popup web player experience to make it easier for you to tune in to FRISKY from anywhere, anytime. If you are using a public, or work computer or dont have the necessary media players like iTunes or Winamp installed on your computer you can use the web player and instantly get frisky whenever, wherever. And whats more, since the player is HTML5 that means no crappy and pesky flash plugins to deal with. And perhaps one of the best things about our new HTML5 player is that it even work on your iPhone or iPod Touch by simply loading it in the mobile safari web browser.

This is the first of many new and exciting things we are working on. We hope to be pretty transparent and give you previews of upcoming things so you can be aware and be a part of development cycle. Your input as fans and listeners of frisky is always appreciated!

Disclaimer: The player is still in very early BETA so there are bound to be issues so let us know what you think and/or report any bugs.

SOUND GARDEN - the exclusive show by Nick Warren returns to FRISKY next Tuesday, August 30 2011! This time around, the show features a first-ever live session! A new concept where Nick will for the first hour of the show be playing live as well as djing using keyboards, samples and softsynths to produce one-off sets. Again he will be concentrating on the more eclectic side of electronic music in the first part but adding sounds, textures, loops and effects. The second hour of the show will be squarely on the dancefloor as usual. Nick has been working on the new concept for a few weeks now, rehearsing and collecting the material and says, “I am really excited about this, pushing the boundaries of a DJ set especially in the more ambient field is very rewarding.”

WHEN : Tuesday August 30 2011 @ 09AM Los Angeles / 12PM New York / 05PM London (world times here)
WHERE :FRISKY!
