New and Improved

Sep 192011

We’ve been working hard here at Froglix to revamp the site. The goal is to make easier for you to get to new and great music from multiple genres. We aren’t done, so expect more changes coming. But we didn’t want to wait any longer to share the improvements.

Froglix Jump Page The biggest difference is the new launch page found at http://www.froglix.com. From there you can quickly find your way to your favorite Froglix global broadcast, the OuterSound podcast, or to our blog. The second biggest difference is we are adding channels. The Big Mix is what you already know and love. Skalicious is new with Combustulator and Dubs & Dreads coming soon. Along the way you’ll find a new player, a bit more user interactivity, and more links to iTunes so you can support the artists you love with your pocketbook.

We are excited about the changes. We hope it provides you with the best experience to discover great new music. Our mission at Froglix remains the same, to bring to you the best independent/unsigned artists from around the world.

Technical Hiccups

We apologize for Froglix going up and down a bit the last few days. We are currently migrating to bigger and better infrastructure and we’ve had our share of hiccups along the way. The migration isn’t over yet, so please bear with us. Everything should be back to normal (and even better) very soon.

Build It and They Will Come

One year ago today, DMitch and I began Froglix Radio with one definite major purpose…to provide independent and unsigned artists here on planet earth a platform to share their music with a global audience. Motivated by nothing more than a pure love of all that is indie, we began assembling the frame work of what we hoped would be a megaphone for the global underground music scene.

Aside from constructing the technical backbone (which was then and still is masterfully managed by DMitch) we had to find music for our listeners. But would anyone take us seriously? Fortunately, many did and the result was an inaugural broadcast with over (40) individual performers and bands from just under (5) countries. Fast forward to today and Froglix has showcased over (100) individual artists from more than a dozen international locales.

Technical piece…check. Music…check. Listeners? Uh……When we launched our listenership consisted of…well…DMitch and I. We were it. Fast forward to today and we have visitors and listeners from more than (70) countries, all a testament to the phenomenal artists who continue to grace the Froglix airwaves with their incredible music.

Over the next year, Dmitch, myself and now Thurdeen (who joined us just under a month ago) pledge to do our best to deliver the finest indie music of the world to the world.

Happy Indiependence Day!

Froglix 2.0

new

We are pleased to announce the release of the latest and greatest version of Froglix Radio on the web. Froglix Radio and Froglix…the Blog went on the air and online back in July for the sole purpose of offering listeners a true alternative to mainstream radio while providing independent/unsigned artists around the world a unique opportunity to reach beyond their current boundaries and share their music with a global audience. With this, our latest launch, we bring together the best from our radio and blog sites and combine them into one, central location that we hope will evolve into the epicenter of all things indie.

In addition to the new look, we have some new features worth mentioning. Included in this most recent iteration is a translator. Being that we are a global indie radio station with artists and listeners around the world, we thought it would make sense to provide a mechanism to allow those from other lands the opportunity to view the content in their native tongue. At present, Froglix is being translated into (33) different languages. Also, the radio player is now detachable allowing visitors the flexibility to dial up the best indie music while surfing the web.

Special thanks to all of the artists who continue to support us with their music as well as the Froglix Faithful. Finally, I’d be remiss were I not to acknowledge the contributions of Froglix co-founder and web guru David Mitchell (aka DMitch) who has sacrificed many late nights pulling everything together for the new site (btw…the translator was his idea!). Aces DMitch…Aces!

Washington, DC (July 4, 2009) – Froglix Radio began transmitting via the worldwide web at midnight with around-the-clock, commercial-free programming that features music from independent and unsigned global artists. More than two dozen artists from seven countries are represented in the inaugural broadcast.

“Froglix is now and always will be about the music,” said Chris Campbell, co-founder and President. “We are excited and honoured to be able to do our part in promoting an indie music scene that continues to expand around the world and are committed to providing all who tune in to Froglix the opportunity to hear some of the best music on the planet.”

While the station’s primary focus will always be that of broadcasting music, Froglix will also bring indie music news and information from around the world into one central location, making it easier for fans to stay in touch with the “goings on” of an ever expanding global music scene. A playlist that is expanding weekly, monthly on-demand podcasts, album reviews, special broadcast events, live performances and interviews with up and coming artists will greatly enhance Froglix’s ability to make a positive impact in the indie music community.

“Being passionate about what you do is critical to accomplishing your goals,” Campbell went on to say, “but talent, dedication and commitment also have to enter the equation to truly make a difference. We are fortunate in that we have assembled a team here at Froglix Radio that embodies all of those qualities.”
