For the first show of the year, we decided to gather the whole Laid Back team in the studio. The idea was to let everybody play his two favorite tracks from 2008. Not especially tracks that were released last year but just tracks we discovered and enjoyed during the last 12 months. So well, i have to admit this show is a bit chaotic but that’s what happen when you have nine people mixing together.

Cleon & Suspect – Nervous Breakdown (selected by Ali)

I guess you already know most of them, but if not … here is the Laid Back team:

Nevine, host of the show.
The latest addition to the team but she already masters the Laid Back stance.

LuiGi (Infinitskills), one of the most talented and active member of the team.
Xav, Laid Back’s street artist, currently preparing a new exhibition.
Pat (Infinitskills) who will present together with rHil his latest beats next week in the show.

rHil and FabE aka the worldwide crate diggers.
FabE will play a Turkish mix in the show on the 21st of January.

Ali, our graphic designer, making sure that whatever we do looks good and currently working on the forthcoming Laid Back t-shirt.

Eric P. (Infinitskills) who might surprise us with a new production style in 2009.

Seb and Julius aka the administration team.

This show was also the first time the whole team gathered since we launched the Laid Back vzw/asbl in September, so it was a good opportunity to organize a little meeting about our goals for the coming year: t-shirt, exhibition, documentary, record, belgikolor #2, beat tapes, special shows, … 2009 will be next level for sure.
