So, a friend and I have assumed control of a 2 hour chunk of radio waves. I don't think the show is going to have much of a theme, it's going to be a very eclectic blend of music. A lot of world music (we're talking the full spectrum from Brazil to India to Ukraine), jazz, post-rock, prog, classic rock (anything that's old and good), trip-hop, neofolk, darkwave, fusion, (there won't be a whole lot of metal, just the occasional foray even though that's one of my more favorite types of music. I'm considering getting another show and devoting it entirely to metal). Really, anything that strikes our fancy.
The thorn in my paw is that we are unfortunately required to play 8-10 new releases each show (things that are no older than about 6-8 months). I do not often keep up on new releases and need help compiling a list of some very cool, strange, eclectic new releases. My list of things that are new releases right now (that I'm considering playing) is extremely limited and I would really appreciate any suggestions. So far I have:
Amsterdam Klezmer Band- Remixed
Andydicktracymorganfreeman-So To Say, Not To Say, And These Are Things
Bikram Singh- Exclusives
Cheb I Sabbah-La Ghriba: La Kahena Remixed
DakhaBrakha-Na dobranich
Ef-Give Me Beauty Or Give Me Death
Eglantine Gouzy- Boamaster
The Future Sound Of London-Teachings From The Electric Brain
Giardini di Miro-North Atlantic Treaty of Love
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness- According To Plan
Jesu- Silver
Kiko Loureiro- Universo Inverso
Omar Sosa- Live a FIP
Red Sparowes- Every Red Heart Shines Towards the Sun
Rodrigo y Gabriela- Rodrigo y Gabriela
Skist-Taking Something Somewhere
Tenhi-Maaaet
The Timeout Drawer-Alone
Velvet Cacoon-Sky Like a Pearl, Halfmoon Curl, Starlit Twirl
We vs. Death-We Too Are Concerned
Anyway, it's a pretty short, incomprehensive list with less diversity than I'd like(and some of the release dates are slightly too old, I know). I would really love some recommendations as to more new world music, jazz, etc. Thanks in advance.
Note- I'm not looking for opinions about the stuff I've already listed. ;)
**I'm adding new things I've found as I go along.**
