I created this wikipedia article in order to preserve the memory of the show. IMDB.com wont take it :( and there isnt any information available anywhere online. The Freak City show has been shut down for a few years now.

LABEL LINK Arcade America/Three*Sixty Records-the West Coast's premier progressive house label. Jun 1, 2000 12:00 PM, Dave Longo

San Francisco's Arcade America, the label behind the popular Trance Global Nation compilations, specializes in progressive trance and house music, releasing efforts by Capricorn, DJ Eyal and Nova, and Laurent Garnier. Arcade America also produces the bimonthly television program Freak City, which features the latest progressive dance music and interviews with DJs and artists.

Arcade America is a joint venture between the Netherlands-based Arcade Records and Radikal, the label known for ATB, N-Trance, and Tayce. Established in the United States in August 1997, Arcade America is distributed by Caroline EMI.

"We prefer to receive demos that have high production value," Arcade America president Graham Shrimpton points out. "A CD of your music is best. We focus primarily on releasing singles first, so the demo should have two to four really strong tracks. If the songs are successful as singles, then we might be interested in putting out a full-length album. Bios are welcome, but I prefer it if they are short-no more than two paragraphs, max."

Shrimpton recently established Three*Sixty Records, which is aimed more at a mainstream audience. Artists on this label include Tim "Love" Lee, Organic Audio, Runaways UK, and Black Diamond. "For Three*Sixty I am looking for commercial-sounding, song-oriented, groove-type music," he says. "It should be the kind of stuff that makes people want to get up and dance even when they are sitting at the bar. I like things with a big drum sound that are rhythmically funky."
