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...

Epic Maui Journey 4 (#1)
Welcome to one of my favorite days of the year. If you have been following me for a long time then you are familiar with the fact that I usually upload entire live DJ sets (and if you're a new follower...welcome. And I thank you for your interest in my music.). For this event I'm switching things up a bit. Instead of releasing the entire set I have weaned the day down into 2 "sampler" podcasts showcasing a selection of the music I played. I have always gone out of my way to feature almost all new and unheard music during my live sets. For EMJ4 I flipped that script a little bit and decided to play as much of my formerly played and recognizable music as new/unheard music. About 50% of what I played had already been featured on previous studio podcasts. I figure that instead of having you hear so many songs that you've heard on previous mixes that I would instead feature more of the new and unheard songs on these 2 sampler podcasts. This gets more brand new music into your ears and lessens duplicate listening. This day on the beach was literally blissful from beginning to end. It would be hard to put it all into words...so I'll just let this music do the "speaking". I hope you feel my heart and soul throughout this mix. It is presented with genuine love and happiness. From my heart...to your ears...
