#2941: May 2009 New Releases

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
All new from the piles of New Sounds chaos! DJ Disorder, aka john Schaefer, lives up to his nom-de-disque, unleashing the May 2009 New Releases show. This is the time of the month when John Schaefer carefully sorts through the stacks of new CDs (digs through them, to be more precise) that have come across his desk to present the newest, greatest cream of the crop, the picks of the piles. From here, we see a collection of remixes of music by Omar Faruk Teklbilek, some Saharan desert blues from Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara, something from the reedman Oran Etkin which fuses Klezmer and Afropop, and a new release from Vieux Farka Toure, "Fondo."
