Created by tech-mogul Peter Rojas, RCRD LBL is an independent online record label meets music blog dedicated to showcasing current and emerging artists, spanning genres from rock to electronica. The website is fully funded by ad-supported revenue, and features an impressive roster of partner labels, including Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records. Boasting an extensive library of songs from over 275 different artists, all featured tracks and podcasts can be downloaded for free. And yes, if you’re wondering, all downloads are legal and firewall resilient.

Along with free downloads, you can subscribe to personalized RSS feeds, newsletters, and download widgets for your iGoogle and Mac OS X Dashboard. Overall, the site is editorially organized like a web magazine, and its music-for-free approach gives the site a sort of independent music blog vibe. Two thumbs up.
