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 #65
If you've been around nightlife long enough then you know that morning music comes in many different styles and sounds. Different generations and cultures have very different ideas of what is great for the morning hours. I happen to like a lot of different styles of music and you will hear that in my newest Sophisticated Morning mix. This set is deeper than most of my other morning sets, but it is also perfectly positioned for the late night/early morning hours. These songs are not so much about the words (although a good few of them have astounding lyrics) as they are about the textures and sounds. This is music that, if you'll allow it, will entrance and seduce you. As always, this mix is brought to you by heart and soul. From my heart...to yours. ENJOY!
