This year, the theme for our annual Valentine's mix is HEARTBREAKER.

Last year's valentine mix was one of my favorite mixes ever, the theme was LUST and featured a LOT of Prince. You can check it out here if you need more valentine music: http://www.play.fm/recording/valentineremixlustremixionnoturnunstoned1382011020647493]]> 75900 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:02:55 +0100 http://www.play.fm/recording/clarefischeronstringsnoturnunstoned1812012020575311 DJ Polished Solid - CLARE FISCHER on Strings (No Turn Unstoned #181) 2012-02-05

(October 22, 1928 – January 26, 2012)


This mix will feature Clare Fischer's musical contributions as a strings / orchestral arranger, most notably his collaborations with Prince and related projects. However, as you most likely already know, Clare Fischer's musical output reaches FAR beyond this limited view, as he recorded over 50 jazz / latin jazz albums himself.

However, his arrangements for Prince were my introduction to Clare and his genius, and, through this mix, I want to give reverence to how Clare's significant contributions really transformed Prince's (and others) music into something even more transcendent and heavenly.]

I tried to keep all the songs for this mix at most two degrees of separation from Prince with the notable exception of Switch/Debarge.]]> 75311 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:41:24 +0100 http://www.play.fm/recording/ettajamessampled_covered_live_originalremixnoturnunstoned1802012012874656 DJ Polished Solid - ETTA JAMES (Sampled, Covered, Live & Original) Mix – No Turn Unstoned #180 2012-01-28

First of all, Happy New Year to all of my listeners! I'm glad to get back to the show.

This is the 2nd set of 4 best of 2011 sets. This one features the best songs of 2011 and is by far my favorite show to mix each year. The last set featured the top 10 albums of 2011. Next week will be the best remixes of 2011, and the following week the originals of the remixes.

Even though Africa Hitech's Out in the Streets is hands down song of the year, generally I didn't include songs that I played during the best albums of 2011 mix in order to not be repetitive.

This mix does include a few songs from 2010, most notably if they were released in November or December of 2010. However, there are a couple songs from 2010 that were released earlier than that, that I just could not stop playing throughout the entire year of 2011.]]> 72685 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 03:28:31 +0100 http://www.play.fm/recording/bestof2011albumstop10remixnoturnunstoned1762011121771258 DJ Polished Solid - Best of 2011 Albums (Top 10) Mix (No Turn Unstoned #176) 2011-12-17

Back from the holiday and bday hiatus, I created a mix for ME and MYSELF as a bday present to none other than me and myself, but more notably to celebrate the brilliant new release of a machinedrum side project, Sepalcure.

In celebration of their brand new album, Now & Forever, this week's show will feature the musical output and contributions of the members of the Escovedo family: Sheila E., Pete Escovedo, Coke Escovedo, Peter Michael Escovedo, and Juan Escovedo.

All Prince fans are salivating right about now. There have been several, landmark Prince associates' releases all released within weeks of each other. So, I've decided to hijack my No Turn Unstoned radio show and do a trilogy of shows for Prince's associates' new releases.

This is the final show in the trilogy. Last Week's show was in celebration of the Original 7ven's (AKA The Time) new album, Condensate. The previous week was in celebration fDELUXE's (AKA The Family) new album, Gaslight.

Next Sunday, No Turn Unstoned is taking a hiatus for the holiday season!

All Prince fans are salivating right about now. There have been several, landmark Prince associates' releases all released within weeks of each other. So, I've decided to hijack my No Turn Unstoned radio show and do a trilogy of shows for Prince's associates' new releases. This particular show will feature The Time / Original 7ven. Last Week's show was in celebration of fDELUXE's (AKA The Family) new album, Gaslight. Next week's show will feature The Escovedo family for their new release, Now and Forever.

The Time, now known as The Original 7ven, hasn't released an album since 1990's Pandemonium, my personal favorite. It's been eleven years, not as long as The Family, but nevertheless long enough. Jellybean Johnson is doing double duty with both projects. He is a busy man;)

In celebration of their brand new album, Condensate, this mix features the musical output and contributions of the members of The Original 7ven (AKA The Time): Morris E. Day, Jesse Johnson, Jellybean Johnson, Monte Moir, Jerome Benton, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis).

I had to wait almost 25 years to finally see The Family live, and it was well worth the wait. Seeing them in the best venue in NYC last Saturday, Joe's Pub, was pure heaven (http://www.livestream.com/joespub/video?clipId=pla_e1e556f6-9295-4489-a774-227ad96f622a). Due to Prince legalities, they have changed their name to fDELUXE.

In celebration of the amazing sets at Joe's Pub and the release of their brand new album, Gaslight, this mix features the musical output and contributions of the members of fDELUXE (Eric Leeds, Susannah Melvoin, St. Paul, and Jellybean Johnson.)

Two songs are driving this week's theme, the city. I'm still in Fishbone mode after last week's set; I wanted to play Angelo Moore's Dr. Madd Vibe project last week, but decided to do a Fishbone only set. My favorite Dr. Madd Vibe song is Get Out of the City. In addition, I recently watched the Talking Head's Stop Making Sense concert film, and I really love their cities song. As a result, this set was born;)]]> 67035 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 02:08:08 +0100 http://www.play.fm/recording/fishboneisredhotremixnoturnunstoned1682011101566386 DJ Polished Solid - FISHBONE is red hot mix (No Turn Unstoned #168) 2011-10-15

Celebrating the release of their 25th anniversary EP, Crazy Glue, and their documentary, Everyday Sunshine, which is currently touring the states, this week's mix features the music of the legendary Fishbone, one of the best bands EVER! Angelo Moore is the one of the most underrated singers of rock. His voice is so malleable and versatile. Angelo's voice backed by Dirty Walt's yelps and uh huhs or Dirty Walt's vocals backed by Angelo's wailing is just priceless. The chemistry of the original lineup is pure magic.

Their music has impacted my life so much that is simply impossible to put it in words, and, if you've never seen Fishbone perform live, you have NOT lived fully;) It is something you must experience before you pass from this earth.

Make sure you catch the fishbone documentary, http://www.fishbonedocumentary.com, when it comes to a city near you, and, if it doesn't, request it, http://www.fishbonedocumentary.com/contact.html:

I was fortunate to see the documentary in NYC at ReRun Theater in Brooklyn, a fantastic venue with seating from reclaimed car seats, http://reruntheater.com/index.php, last Saturday. Unfortunately, I couldn't make the screening with the live performance the previous Friday night, but some gracious soul posted one of my favorite fishbone songs, Lemon Meringue, on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7zqKdvDBjo, from this performance. Thank God for the internet! It goes without saying that this documentary is awesome. How could it not be with Fishbone as it subject?

If you don't have any fishbone albums, then, you are really missing out on amazing musical experiences. However, you can remedy that by purchasing them. My favorite fishbone album is Give A Monkey A Brain And He'll Swear He's The Center Of The Universe. My 2nd favorite is Chim Chim's Badass Revenge. There's a tie for 3rd place between Truth & Soul and The Reality of My Surroundings. Everybody and their mama would probably say that Truth & Soul is their favorite, but not me... I love the constant evolution of Fishbone. This band shouldn't be pigeonholed.

Mark Pritchard is a musical genius; He can switch musical genres like you bat your eyes. He has a gazillion aliases. I'll name a few here: Africa Hitech w/ Steve Spacek, Global Communication w/ Tom Middleton, Troubleman, Harmonic 33 w/Dave Brinkworth, Harmonic 313, Reload, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Unlike what this article, http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/may/14/mark-pritchard-who-is-he, proposes, I personally revel in Mark's ecletic taste in making music. That is what No Turn Unstoned is all about. Good music of any genre. I only get frustrated trying to figure out what his latest alias is.

Inspired by ▲'glr's Purple Park, this week's theme is PURPLE music. I don't know what took me so long to have purple as a theme. For me, purple means one thing: Prince.
