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 Chill #1
Welcome to the very first edition of SOPHISTICATED CHILL. I am so excited to bring you this new offshoot series from my Sophisticated Morning series. Whereas my SM podcast series concentrates on music in the 120 bpm range this new series showcases music that is as emotionally rich and gorgeous, but rolls along at a much slower bpm. This particular edition clocks in at 101 bpm. I have packed feel-good anthems from beginning to end. Coldplay opens the set...with Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani and Marvin Gaye eventually making their way in to the mix. This is music that you couldn't quite dance to, per se, but you WILL want to throw your hands up to heaven and scream with joy. I hope you feel my joy, my heart and my soul upon listening. This is just the beginning of these sets. I have so much music that is slower and I need to showcase all this beautiful music. If you'll allow it....this music WILL make your life more rich, more joyful, more beautiful. This music saved my life....and I hope dearly that it affects you...as much as it does me. From my heart...to yours.
