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 #67
Certain music sets of mine stand out in my mind as my absolute favorites that stand above and beyond all the others. Don't get me wrong: I love all the sets I release or I wouldn't release them. But SOMETIMES the sets all fall together so perfectly as though the universe sprinkled magic dust all over them. Guess what? THIS is one of those sets. I haven't actually even listened to this set yet -- but I don't need to to know that this one is special. I'm a stickler not only for the music (duh) -- but also for my mixing. I have always found the way a DJ mixes to be just as intriguing as the music that he or she plays. On this set I couldn't be happier with the music and if my ear served me right...I couldn't be more happy with the way in which I mixed these brilliant songs together. So I hope that you'll pay super close attention to these songs. Of course if you're reading this now then you know the track listing is included here too. Pay special attention to James Arthur, Lewis Capaldi, Kisma and Sam Feldt Feating JRM. Those artists deliver my favorite songs of the mix. As always this set of music is brought to you by my heart and soul. If you love it...SHARE it! We're all tasked with giving back to our universe and this is my gift to you and everyone else. See you on the dance floor!
