DJ Brian Norwood was born during the first seedlings of dance music as we know it today were sprouting. In the 1970s, the Tea Dance at Fire Island's Blue Whale was settling in as ritual and David Mancuso's infamous "The Loft" parties in NYC were just getting started. Being born in the music-rich environment of Nashville would be a harbinger of things to come. And being born in that era would greatly impact his career.In the 90's, Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, would open its arms to Brian. This move to a more urban environment and being within the twinkle of NYC skyscrapers, is an important transition not only in geography, but of musical awakening. After attending a seminal Saint-At-Large Party with all its intendant revelry, he felt an overwhelming drive to cultivate music and learn to mix. Vinyl was still the preferred medium for DJ's, which gives Brian the unique perspective of being among the younger DJ's still spinning today who teethed on vinyl.In the 90s Brian began to play live shows. His ability to feel the energy of a room and to zero in on what crowds want to hear quickly gained him major name recognition that spread from Philadelphia to the entire nation...

episode 100: Sophisticated Morning 93
I got back from Hawaii three weeks ago...and I swear I'm still glowing from the experience. The glow is so strong that I thought I'd share some of it with you. I played many of these songs at Epic Maui Journey...so if you were there you'll recognize most of them. I can't wait for you to hear them again. If you weren't, well, I can't wait for you to hear them the first time! These are masterpieces; a collection of songs that are drenched in warm sunshine and loving vibes. I've got major superstars (Nora En Pure, Kygo, GoldFish, Armin van Buuren) on the set and I've got lesser known producers (Jerro, Ocula, Le Youth, CRi, etc). If you follow the deep and chill house genres even those "less known" artist/producers are at the top of their game. I start the set in a deep and chill vibe and slowly work the energy to the point that by the time the set is coming towards a conclusion you've arrived in near full-on EDM anthems. I tried to segue from one genre to another so carefully that the changes in energy would be subtle and near-undetectable. Although you'll end up in a different "place" at the end than the beginning I will say that the constant is a feeling of warmth and happiness. As always...this set originated in my heart. I hope you FEEL it just the same as I do. From my heart...to your ears.
