Mixed Emotions by Brian Norwood
Podcast de Brian Norwood
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. Over the last 25 years the notable gigs he has played are too many to count, but include events in every major American city and as far away as Maui, Hawaii and Amsterdam, Netherlands.In 2011 he began podcasting for the ability to reach even more listeners. His Mixed Emotions by Brian Norwood podcasts have been streamed hundreds of thousands of times and continue to be a major asset to his musical career. The sets that have been the most recognized of his work are Sophisticated Morning, Sophisticated Deep, and Sophisticated Chill. These sets are just as their name implies: percolating, hazy, gently rising to an alert state. However, to those unfamiliar with his breadth of music, it would be unfair to characterize him as a “chill” only DJ. It is unlikely that you would have heard music and music mixed like this anywhere else. Brian has a style of playing unique, obscure and ethereal songs that is unmistakably his. This is a true artist that isn't stuck in a genre, who can play for long sets and play to the most demanding crowds.It’s difficult to express with words something as nuanced as music by a sublime DJ. But to paraphrase an old saying, you know it when you hear it. He knows how important a crowd is to a DJ and how important a DJ is to a crowd and he chooses cautiously and carefully the live gigs that he plays. His podcasts can be found on SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, PodOmatic and HearThis. Whether you hear him at a live performance or on his podcast you’re in for a rare and unique musical trip.

Welcome to my favorite hour of my favorite day of the entire year. It's hard to put into words how special this day is and what it means to me and so many others but I'll try... Picture it --> 200 of the most beautiful humans to walk this earth on a private beach. Love, unspeakable joy and a rare Spirit have ruled the day. And now...the golden hour is upon us. The sun is slowly lowering towards the horizon of the Pacific ocean and every one and everything is awash in the most breathtaking golden yellow light. There's a magic in the air that just can't be described. I consider every hour important when I'm spinning but I will say that I consider this hour THE hour where, with the right music selections, I can take people's hearts and emotions and send them places that every human should dream to go. This set starts with galloping, emotional anthems and slowly ebbs towards a nostalgic soft landing where I pull out Sarah McLaughlin "Silence", Stereolove Feat. Brian Kennedy "Life, Love & Happiness", Christian Burns "Wonderful Life", Lighthouse Family "High" and Beth Orton "Central Reservation". Everyone was in emotional overload with the gorgeous trance anthems I was playing...and then as I went into the nostalgia set I just kind of sent everyone over the edge (in the best way). We are a blessed tribe with a long history together. To get to create and take part in the unspeakable joy that unfolded was a blessing I'll always cherish. As always, this set was brought to you with every ounce of love that I've got to give. I hope it touches your heart as much as it did mine and so many others as Epic Maui Journey came to an emotionally powerful conclusion. *I edited this set to remove the very ending of the day, as I was playing more downbeat songs that were perfect for the moment but wouldn't have exactly made sense in podcast form. I feel that the songs I played at the very end of the day were special and to be enjoyed only in that very moment. #/Artist/Title/Remix 01. Ciaran McAuley/Love Loud/Original Mix 02.

Energy is such a profound thing. It's something that's both silent and unspoken but also always present and within our ability to control. It's everyone's duty to be mindful of that to ensure that what we're sharing is...good and uplifting. I keep that in mind when deciding what to share with you. I've also wanted the energy of these mixes to walk a fine line; perfect for both 2AM and 2PM. Obviously what we're all doing at those two different times are very different things. I use my own real world experiences to guide me on the music choices here. And what I've found is that the songs you'll hear here are beautiful pieces to have in the background during the day to (subconsciously) affect our day and also have in the forefront during the night to (consciously) drive the fun. I hope that the energy, the vibes and the messages you hear on this mix lift you up and set you free. I have no shortage of favorites on this set. I set the set off with the Kygo produced "Love Me Now Or Lose Me Later" -- a truly powerful heart-tugger. From there I mix into "One Day" by Dutch emo-pop band Haevn. They are truly one of my favorite bands ever. Their sound is rich, authentic and emotionally powerful. They're not really known here in the Americas so I'm really proud and fortunate to share them with you. Find them and stream them. They're incredible. Otherwise, I've got 17 songs mixed here and have managed to find 5 incredible remakes for the set: Chasing Cars (#5), You're Not Alone (#10), Sweet Disposition (#12), With Or Without You (#14) and Wonderful Life (#15). It's so hard to find remakes that are tastefully done and keep the spirit of the original. So I feel happy to have found these. Pay special attention to the remake of With Or Without You by U2. Initially I assumed this would be typically not great. How pleasantly surprise I was to find this remake really amazing. It's remixed by organic house master DSF. In closing the set I chose the gorgeous "Crazy Love" by Above & Beyond featuring vocals by none other than Zoe Johnston. By the time you reach the end of the set the *energy" will have quietly risen from chill and peaceful to powerfully melodic and progressive. Hopefully, if I've done my job right, you'll not even notice the energy quietly rising to crescendo. As always....this set was mixed with every ounce of love I've got to give. From my heart...to your ears... #/Artist/Title/Remix 01. Matt Hansen/Love Me Now or Lose Me Later/Kygo Original 02. Haevn/One Day/Original Mix 03. Nicholas Gunn/Thought Of You/Extended Mix 04.
