Podcast Party: Laid Back Show

(Podcast Party is meant to be a weekly nod to the world of music podcasting. Since the world of podcasting is difficult to break into and daunting to find new and interesting podcasts these posts will help to direct those with an interest to good stuff)
Laid Back Show is a weekly show out of Brussels that plays roughly an hour long mixtape each week. The music tends to revolve around hip-hop and funk along with a light dabbling of jazz. Recently they were given an extra hour long throw back show on another radio station as well.

Since Brussels isn't exactly the music capital of the world, the Laid Back team has taken to podcasting to help spread their music. What this means is that early on Saturday morning your podcatcher program will start downloading between two and four of their mixtapes for you.

For hour-long mixtapes they're generally pretty good. The DJs do a good job of keeping the music moving along. That being said, just don't expect the music to change your life. Nothing they're doing is revolutionary but that's fine for me. I've found they're perfect for work because they tend to be light on vocals but have a lot of good and recognizable music in it. For the most part they revolve around themes: particular producers, under appreciated genres, and of course the old-school throw backs.

The Laid Back Show has been a staple of mine ever since Mr. 'Evs introduced me to it about a year ago. It avoids the guesswork inherent in the itunes shuffle and delivers a solid little mixtape every week. It's no HeMan, but it is worth checking out.
