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...

Sophisticated Morning #45
Some people are scared at the thought of showing their heart and being emotionally open. I am actually the direct opposite. And this mindset certainly extends into my music and how I approach my craft. This is an extremely emotional set of music that has a good few "heart tuggers" included. One of my favorite records that I've heard in a long long time is included here: "We Were Wild Once" by Holter & Mogyoro. This record has EVERYTHING that I look for in music: emotional chords that tug at my heartstrings, pianos in all the right moments and overall emotion that is warm and melancholy. I hope you enjoy this hour of music and this peek into my heart. As always I've mixed the set with epic love and happiness. And please, if you hear songs that you love...support the artists who made them! Full track listings are included below. From my heart...to your ears...ENJOY!
