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 6 (#3)
One of the things I love most about Epic Maui Journey is the late afternoon hours when the sun is slowly working it's way down to dip below the horizon of the Pacific. A warm and electrifying glow washes the air with a golden touch that is near indescribable. Magic is in full force. And it is at this time of the day that I am most "at home" while spinning. Although the music technically peaks earlier...it's really THIS time of day that my music rises to an emotional crescendo. If you think you've heard most of these songs before it's because you have. I wanted to play "my favorites" this day...and so I did. If you were there on the beach with me...I am excited for you to relive the experience through podcast. If you weren't...well, here's a taste of what our day on the beach was like. From my heart...to yours. LOVE.
