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...

episode 33: Sophisticated Morning 84
One of the awesome things about having been around and immersed in music for as long as I've been is that I know songs from years ago and the general history of music that surrounds those songs -- and that knowledge guides me through my current musical projects. One of my major sources of joy is finding new remixes of songs from years ago that are fresh, intriguing and current with the times. And with that I'm super excited to bring you Sophisticated Morning 84. This set follows my tried and true template by starting out chill and emotionally warm and then slowly and subtly building in intensity until my listener has arrived into full blown feel-good anthems. On this set I am really excited to bring you the new Seal release called "Just A Ghost". I always loved his voice and am so happy to hear that he's still gracing us with his brilliance and beauty. My three stunning recognizable finds on this edition are "On The Beach" by York (originally by Chris Rea), "This Is Your Life" (a stunning morning house classic from the 90s by Banderas) and last, but not least, the stunning, powerful and spine-chilling 2021remix of "Silence" by Delerium. By the time you finish listening to this set...I hope you'll have the same blissed out chill bumps that I got time and again while composing this DJ set. As always...this project was made with every Love I've got to give. From my heart...to your ears.#/Artist/Title/Remix01. Elderbrook/I Remember/PDM Original Mix02.
