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 Deep #6
Every once in a while all the cards fall into place just remarkably. Yesterday I sat down to mix Sophisticated Morning #39...and THIS is what I ended up with: Sophisticated DEEP #6. When I conceive my mixed sets I have a preconceived notion of what I'm going to do...but oftentimes The Spirit will lead me in directions that I didn't expect. That happened here...and I think the end result is simply breathtaking. The pieces of music I chose and put on this podcast are deep, symphonic, epic and emotional. There are few words on the entire podcast, few are needed. The astonishingly beautiful instrumentation and orchestration says everything. Use your imagination. Dream. Hear what the music has to say, with no words needed. This set was a major labor of love on my behalf. I really try to "showcase" my soul through my music and I hope that you "got to know" me a little more upon your listen to my mix. This set is download enabled. All I ask is that you share my music with anyone and everyone whom you know to be musically likeminded. From my heart to yours.
