If you were like me and were unaware of dublab.com you will most likely be surprised at the loyalty of visitors (they are getting over 50,000 unique users per month). The reason these people go to dublab.com is to get internet music streamed right to their laptops. Doesn't sound that exciting but wait, once you year the music that is coming out of this little radio station you will understand the rabid loyalty. Their tagline is "Positive Music Driven Lifestyle"?. Freeways is a compilation of some of the artists that contribute to the radio streams and most of them are fairly new artists. That's not to say that Dublab is strictly for rookies as there are loads of experienced musicians that have played sets on the website. Freeways highlights the new sound that is coming from these artists and I think you will like it. Its like no other electronica music that I have heard. Most of the tracks are very experimental at some points and yet still extremely listenable. You will be reminded of some of the IDM (intelligent dance music) that has been coming out the last couple of years. At some points they get downright funky (John Tejada's "I'll see you in a place with light"). It is very cool and refreshing.
