dublab presents… FREEWAYS

Six years after its initial release on Emperor Norton Records dublab is proud to announce the digital re-release of its first compilation album, “dublab presents: freeways.” This visionary collection, produced by frosty & Carlos Nino, gave the world an early taste of many, now-familiar artists and defined dublab’s future roots aesthetic. “freeways” is an inspired view into Los Angeles’ vibrant musical landscape. It is a living time capsule that remains light years ahead.
The landscape presented on “freeways” is expansive. Glowing pockets of beauty from the wide sprawl of Los Angeles are merged into a unified spectrum. These diverse, progressive songs reflect every shade of creative California soul and provide a roadmap to infinite adventure. “dublab presents: freeways” continues to speed sweetly into the future.
