FRISKY Top 20 Shows of 2011
February 29th, 2012

Back when I posted some stats of how FRISKY did in 2011 I promised that we will also post some more insight into our top performing shows 2011. I realise its been a while and its almost March already but we have a good excuse. We’ve been huddled up in our caves working on some exciting new stuff for you that’s launching this year… So watch this space.
Well, without further ado…Here are the Top 20 shows of 2011, presented in the form of the ever popular infographic!
FRISKY Artist of the Week Spotlight :: Quivver
February 17th, 2012
Tweet
We’re starting something new for 2012. Hoping to bring you closer to the artists that we feature as our Artist of the Week, we will accompany the exclusive artist mix with a short interview, called Spotlight. And we’re starting with international mega rock star DJ Quivver! We at FRISKY have been a fan of his ever since his Transport 5 mix album back in 2001 and its a pleasure to feature him with our first ever FRISKY Artist of the Week Spotlight.
FRISKY: Why “Quivver”? How did you come up with the moniker?
QUIVVER: No big story really, we needed a band name - there was 2 of us originally, myself and Neil Barry (we split after the 2nd single). We wanted to call ourselves shivver but there was already a band called shiva who were big at the time so we went with quivver.
FRISKY: The last 10 years has seen a lot of technological changes in every aspect of life. How do you see DJ’ing changing in say the next 20 years? Are we going to dancing to the beat of cyborg DJs?
QUIVVER: Yeah it wouldn’t surprise me , or maybe 3D holographic projections like black eyed peas did last year at the NRJ awards. Then every big club in the world could just pay david guetta to use his hologram and everyone would be happy!!
… We pause for a moment to try and get the visual Quivver has just painted for us. OK pausing is not working. Here’s a video of a recent release by Quivver featured on Ibiza 2011 Vol 2 compilation released this past August:
FRISKY: OK, that helped. Whats in the pipeline in your production or DJ career? What should Quivver fans reading this be aware of and look out for?
QUIVVER: I just finished a big vocal track for toolroom called ‘i don’t wanna wait’ which i’m really, really happy with - it features great vocalist called angel hart who i randomly heard when i opened my studio window one afternoon. she’s a vocal coach and her studio is in the same building as mine so i wandered round the building till i found her.
There’s also new single ‘here’s this’ coming out soon on microcastle and a 3 track e.p on great stuff.
Radio edit and music video for “Happy” on Raid Recordings
FRISKY: Whats your favourite club in the world to play in?
QUIVVER: There’s a few but recently my favourite gigs were at Avalon in LA and Pacha in Buenos Aires.
FRISKY: What are you most proud of in your professional (or personal) life? Could be anything - a release, a tour, your pet chihuahua.
QUIVVER: in that case i’d have to say my daughter Charlie, she just turned 2 and is a constant source of joy
FRISKY: What country has the frisky-ist crowds?
QUIVVER: Argentina! i love playing there, proper party people!
FRISKY: Absolutely, some of our most enthusiastic fans are from there. If you could pick a place to DJ, ANY PLACE, where would that be.
QUIVVER: A huge, glass walled space station/club orbiting earth. it’d have to be be a low ticket price though so anyone and everyone could afford to go.
FRISKY: What is the weirdest request you have gotten from a fan
QUIVVER: Maybe it was when someone - it might have been a few people - asked me to stop playing russ abbott - ‘atmosphere’.. which is obviously a brilliant record!
Thanks to Quivver for answering our little questionnaire. Fans of Quivver will be interested to learn that he also has something totally different coming up in 2012: a rock / eclectic album! Here’s a sneak peak, we like what we hear:

A New Way to Tune In
January 29th, 2012
Tweet
Over the last few weeks our friskyRobots have been secretly developing a lot of exciting new products that we plan on launching this year.
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.
To check out the player now, click here —>
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.

FRISKY in 2011 :: A Look Back
January 5th, 2012
Tweet
2011 was a milestone year for FRISKY. It marked our 10-Year Anniversary and was our biggest year yet in terms of shows, listeners and reach. Stats on our website and the actual radio stream tend to be very different as most of our audience goes directly to the audio stream by ways of links from other sites, bookmarks etc. But lets look at some stats about you, the listener:
Overall, you came from 194 different regions from across the globe. The Top 5 countries are:
1. United States
2. Germany
3. Greece
4. Hungary
5. Russia
We even had visits from far away places like Fiji, Bhutan, even Greenland!
From inside the USA, the majority of you came from California. This isnt surprising as FRISKY was founded in San Francisco one fine morning (or night, we cant remember) in May 2001. So it remains strong in San Francisco and indeed California. Rounding up the Top 5 states in the US are:
1. California
2. New York
3. Florida
4. Texas
5. Illinois
As for cities, our top visitors came from the following cities:
1. Athens
2. Budapest
3. Moscow
4. Istanbul
5. Buenos Aires
Our TTSL, or Total Time Spent Listening, in 2011 totaled 2,665,989. That means that in 2011, you spent over of 2.6 million hours listening to FRISKY. Thats more than 306 years in total. We’d say thats time well spent!
So there you have it. Thats you, the FRISKY fan and listener, in 2011. We cant thank you enough for investing so much of your time and energy with us! We hope to continue to improve in 2012! More on that later.
In the next few days, I’ll be doing another post that tallies up some stats from the content and shows point of view soon: which shows were successful, which need some improvement and the all-important end of year Top 20 shows of 2011!
Rock on!
