out now on beatport and every other major mp3 portal FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 22, 2008 By Justin Kleinfield, Rephlektor Ink friskyRecords celebrates its first anniversary with the catalogue spanning EP friskyRecords: Year001 Encompasses the vast friskyRadio community of both new and accomplished producers to offer exciting remixes of tracks from year 001 ***EP to air exclusively on friskyRadio!*** Dance music is a labor of love and it’s truly a global kinda thing. Case in point: there are few music genres that claim undisputed international superstars from all over the world. Traditionally, rock music has found a majority of its greatest stars only in English speaking countries such as the United States and United Kingdom. However, dance music is wide open. The sounds coming from places like Holland, Israel, Argentina and Germany have no boundaries and the dancefloor knows only one language. With such an open-minded form of music comes the need for a label to act as a place to bring likeminded people together. That’s where friskyRecords comes in. In one year, the fledgling label has supplied the world with some of the hottest progressive dance music in the world and it’s received glowing support from genre kings such as John Digweed, Sasha, Dave Seaman, Hernan Cattaneo, Dave Dresden and Deep Dish’s Sharam. As a gift to its loyal supporters, friskyRecords’ Faisal Sultan and Ira Heinichen have compiled an EP release spanning the material released on the label during it’s first year. Entitled Year001, this release does not come without a twist. Keeping true to their belief in exposing the freshest music and talent on the planet, the friskyBoys reached out to their entire friskyRadio community of both established and novice producers to create brand new remixes of each track. The result is inspiring, exclusive, and reflects the sound from dancefloors both near and far. "The debut year of friskyRecords has been a real learning and humbling experience. We started this label with one core mission in mind: To bring forth what we felt was the best in electronic dance music from the brightest talents in this industry. I think we surpassed all goals that we had for ourselves and the label. The depth of talent and dedication of our artists; and the passion of our fans and listeners all around the world has been the core reason why friskyRecords has enjoyed such a successful debut year. We hope you will continue this journey with us in years to come. Thanks for all the support." – friskyRecords founder, Faisal Sultan Year001 EP features seven re-releases including two Top 10 hits and one #1, two brand-new tracks and five remixes exclusive to the EP. Artists appearing on the EP include Pole Folder (also responsible for friskyRecords’ first CD release Destinations), Cid Inc. (Mashtronic), Patch Park (formerly Perry O'neil), Jerome Isma-ae, Lemon8, Soliquid, Powerplant, Deep Mariano and Logiztik Sounds. The continuous mix will air exclusively on friskyRadio "Year001 is primarily a project of community - we've opened our entire catalogue, both past and soon to come, to our immensely talented group of artists and this compilation is the result. It represents where we've been and where we're going, but most of all, it's a snap-shot of the friskyFamily at the forefront of this industry" – friskyRecords label manager, Ira Heinichen friskyRecords is the label offshoot of friskyRadio.
