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.

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...

Sophisticated Morning #44
Each and every Sophisticated Morning has a bit of a different feel. With this new edition in the series I mixed it with my friends on Maui front and center in my heart. Next week I arrive on to the island to play the yearly Epic Maui Journey Party. So this edition somewhat serves as a usual Sophisticated Morning and also a bit of a teaser for the party next week. And with that in mind you will notice that many of the pieces included are astoundingly uplifting. . I hope you enjoy the sound and that it brings you many hours of enjoyment. As always, I have put my heart onto my sleeve for this podcast. From my heart...to your ears....
