San Francisco has always been a very special city to me. The people of the city value and reward genuine individuality. As an artist I've always had a deep appreciation for crowds who just wanted to hear what my heart had to say and weren't too concerned with trying to coerce me in to playing what they wanted to hear. It's nice to play for those who trust me and want to go on a good journey with me. I played my first FITP in October 2014. What a day that was. It's a day firmly implanted in my memory and heart. And here after all these years...it always feels good to go "home". In August I got to go "home" to play for the most beautiful people on earth. And I felt like it was a true collaboration with me and the crowd. Love and kindness was in full abundance and I hope you hear it when you listen to the set. The set contains some of my favorite songs of the year. It's been an amazing year for music and I am so happy to share some of that beauty with you here. I open the set with "You Belong" by Ciaran McCauley. I chose that song to open the "All Flag" set because of the powerful message it contains. There's nowhere on earth that I feel the message of "you belong" is sent more than AIDS Memorial Grove. So....I felt it fitting to open with it. From there I weave my way through a series of anthemic heart-tuggers before finally coming to a soft landing with "Back To Love" by Lincoln Jesser. The lyrics say: What if the end was the beginning? What if that light we see in the tunnel leads right back to love? What if we found it and it was in us? Oh, what if everything isn't only ever was? What if the paths we take all lead right back to love? I gotta open up my heart and let it in It's never too late to begin again It's not over just 'cause something's dying I know I got more to give What you put in's what you're gonna get out of it I made the decision that I'm all in Because I've never been good at half-hearted Oh, I wanna be happy, I wanna heal And every shadow is so perfectly cast by the sun (By the sun) Can't have one without the other one (Other one) Oh, and every part of us so interwoven What if the paths we take all lead right back to love?" It was a spine-chilling way to end the day. We all went home with full and happy hearts. As always this set was conceptualized and mixed with every ounce of love I've got to give. As I always say...from my heart....to your ears! Soundcloud & PodOmatic links in the comments.  #/Artist/Title/Remix 01. Ciaran McCauley/You Belong/Extended Mix 02.

Hello, dear listener. I hope you've been well since I last dropped in to see you. You've probably noticed that I've been quiet for a minute. In short, life has been life-ing, and I've been being human. Many years ago I told myself (and anyone else who'd listen, haha) a couple of things: first, that I'd give music to the world until the day I die. That's a promise I know I'll keep. Second, that I'd always stay true and authentic as it relates to my artistry and I would never release music just for the sake of having something "new" up at the moment. The quality of my content is much more important than the quantity of it. So...I've been quiet, concentrating on being and staying grounded and nourishing my soul through some interesting times we're in. As they say though, there's always sunshine after the rain. Let it shine... Let's talk about music. Even though it's been spell since you've seen new content released by me that doesn't mean that I haven't been over here endlessly finding the most beautiful new music to present to you. Speaking of new music, wow. We are in such good times for music right now. I believe that because of the "tough times" we're living through that humanity at large is needing comfort and joy. That is showing up with a return to rich and emotionally-driven melodic music. You'll find the best of that here on this new set. Each of my sets fall differently as it relates to the ebb and flow of the energy. Sometimes the set will peak late, sometimes earlier. It's my belief that this set kind of peaks in the middle of the set (and that's OK!). There IS a cohesiveness from beginning to end, so I'm not concerned about where the "peak" is. But about that peak...wow. I have a string of songs that are epic masterpieces. As I sit and type these words I'm listening to that set within this set and I am covered in chill bumps. I hope you'll feel these same "feels" as me. Pay close attention to the set once I get to "Start A Fire" by Above & Beyond. After that I go through Coastlines "Everything All At Once", Aname "Hopeful", WhoMadeWho "Bedside", Topic "I Adore You" and Anthony Keyrouz "Young And Beautiful" -- all powerful masterpieces. Above & Beyond dropped a new album today, July 18th. I present two of the singles from the album (Start A Fire and Quicksand) because of how good they are and also so I could talk about the album. Go listen to it. Run. It's a beautiful collection of heart-driven masterpieces. Start A Fire is probably my favorite single from the album. Featuring Richard Bedford on vocals, it starts chill and low in energy and steadily builds into a hands-to-heaven emotional anthem. Enough with my words. On to the music. As always, this set was conceived and mixed with every ounce of love that I've got to give. From my heart...to your ears. LOVE. Artist/Title/Remix 01. Gheist/Searching Places/Original Mix02.

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/Remix01.  Matt Hansen/Love Me Now or Lose Me Later/Kygo Original02.  Haevn/One Day/Original Mix03.  Nicholas Gunn/Thought Of You/Extended Mix04.  Susie Ledge/Closer/Extended Mix05.  Sea To Sky/Chasing Cars/Extended Mix06.  Keanler/Orbit/Extended Mix07.  Modera/Dominoes/Extended Mix08.  Zak Abel/Lighthouse/Kygo Original Mix09.  Nicholas Gunn/My Heart/Extended Mix10.  RY X/You're Not Alone/(&friends Extended Mix)11.  KOATES/Undo/John Summit Original Mix12.  Temper Trap/Sweet Disposition/John Summit Extended13.  Hayla/Shiver/John Summit Extended Mix14.  Alex Cruz/With Or Without You/DSF Extended Mix15.  Christian Burns/Wonderful Life/KRYDER Extended Mix16.  Jack Emery/Fickle Heart/Extended Mix17.  Above & Beyond/Crazy Love/ANUQRAM Extended MixFOR WORLDWIDE DJ BOOKING INFORMATION:Instagram:  DJ Brian NorwoodFacebook:  Brian NorwoodEar:  615-418-8900Email:  [email protected]

It's so hard to pinpoint which genre is my favorite to mix and present because I love several different genres so much. But it is without question that the sound that I present on these Deep mixes resides right at the top of my list of favorites. Different DJs have different reasons and end-goals for why they DJ. I myself have always wanted to affect people on a higher level. It's more than just entertaining in the pursuit of partying for me personally. I've always wanted my listeners to think deeply about not only the words that they were hearing but also allow the tones, chords and vibes that were permeating into their subconscious to "speak" to them (no words needed!). I search long and hard for those brilliant artists, producers and remixers that make music that's on what I call a higher plane and it's always my pleasure to compile them in a nuanced way to lead you on "little journeys". The Deep mixes are my perfect opportunity to take you to rare and unique places.I mix my DJ sets much like I choose the records that I buy: progression is a must. I go really far out of my way to ensure that each song lures you to the next in anticipation of where you'll go next. You should feel a sense of peace and dreamy happiness as the mix starts and then ever so subtly I weave the energy up so that you end up in a far-away place. I hope that you'll dream and allow your mind to wander (to so many places) as you listen. It's so important for us to "lose ourselves" sometimes...and I hope I can help you do just that. The warm and melancholic harmonies, sinuous chords and tribal influences should "take you there" if I've done this right.I sorted through hundreds (thousands?) of records to present these 15 songs to you. I searched for and mixed them with every ounce of love I've got to give. From my heart...to your ears. Soundcloud and PodOmatic links in the comments section.  #/Artist/Title/Remix01.

Several weeks ago I mentioned that this new edition of Sophisticated Morning was going to be deep and moody. At that time I noticed that a great deal of that type of deep house was sitting in my hold bin. Well, that didn't happen. Instead what you're going to hear here (ha!) is very much one of my traditional Morning sets. For those of you that were looking forward to a deeper sound from me, please accept my apologies (but I do have good news for you; there's a Deep set on the horizon). And for those of you that love my traditional sound, well, you're in for a treat. This set is filled with the most current and heart-warming chill house that's out right now. I start the set out with the twinkling pianos of Anam (SE) "Anywhere". The pianos, the message and the vibe are all just so perfect. From there I roll on through piece after piece that's touching my heart at the moment. And just for good measure I threw in one of the biggest feel-good classics of all time "Seven Cities" by Solarstone towards the end. The remix of it is new and really incredible. My personal favorites on the set are #1 "Anywhere", #3 Le Youth "Overgrown", #6 Kairos Grove "I Don't Mind (Robby East Remix), #8 Tinlicker "Nothing To Lose", #11 ARTBAT "Coming Home" and the very last song, #11, Flight Facilities "All Your Love". I always hesitate to mention my favorites -- but the truth is -- I do have my favorites, just like you do. I love every song on this set. It just happens that those are my very VERY favorites. I hope you'll listen...and love what I did. From my heart...to your ears. #/Artist/Title/Remix 01. Anam (SE)/Anywhere (Road Trippin')/Original Mix02. OCULA/High Tides/Extended Mix03.

I got back from Hawaii three weeks ago...and I swear I'm still glowing from the experience.  The glow is so strong that I thought I'd share some of it with you.  I played many of these songs at Epic Maui Journey...so if you were there you'll recognize most of them. I can't wait for you to hear them again.  If you weren't, well, I can't wait for you to hear them the first time!  These are masterpieces;  a collection of songs that are drenched in warm sunshine and loving vibes.  I've got major superstars (Nora En Pure, Kygo, GoldFish, Armin van Buuren) on the set and I've got lesser known producers (Jerro, Ocula, Le Youth, CRi, etc).  If you follow the deep and chill house genres even those "less known" artist/producers are at the top of their game.  I start the set in a deep and chill vibe and slowly work the energy to the point that by the time the set is coming towards a conclusion you've arrived in near full-on EDM anthems.  I tried to segue from one genre to another so carefully that the changes in energy would be subtle and near-undetectable.  Although you'll end up in a different "place" at the end than the beginning I will say that the constant is a feeling of warmth and happiness.  As always...this set originated in my heart.  I hope you FEEL it just the same as I do.  From my heart...to your ears.  #/Artist/Title/Remix 01.

Have you ever heard me liken my mixes to musical arcs? Typically I mold my sets as though they form an imaginary musical arc, with a distinct beginning, peak and landing. With this mix, unintentionally, my arc is more like a straight line across (that's drenched in warm, deep, melodic and heart-soaring vibes). The feel at the end of this set is very much the same as the beginning. I always like to say that I'm not the only one involved in creating my mixes. The unseen Spirit that guides me has a hand in all this too and, well, the straight line across is what the Spirit had in mind today. This one is deep, heartfelt and sturdy! ;-) As for the music. *Every* *Single* *Song* is an anthem in its own right. Of course these aren't peak of night hands in the air anthems. These are heart-tugging anthems that wrap their arms around you and drench you in warmth and melancholy blissful vibes. I always go out of my way my way to source remarkable remakes of songs from years' ago...and wow, did I find a couple of good ones for you for this set. I start the set off with Blonde Maze's remake of the 1982 international smash hit "I Melt With You" by Modern English. Later in the set I bring in York's remake of Human League's "Human" from 1986. Surrounding these two masterpieces are the most gorgeous and emotionally rich deep house records you could possibly imagine. I rarely want to mention my personal favorites on a set so as to not influence what you think of the mix overall. Well...let me just say that you should pay *really close attention* to #5 (Kairos Grove "I Don't Mind), #6 (Tailor "Never Enough"), #7 (Le Youth "I Will Leave A Light On"), #8 (Vanessa Arnolds "Colors Turn To Grey"), #9 (Martin Garrix "Real Love"), #10 (Anamē "Peaceful Avenue"), #12 (Julia Church "No Ending") and #14 (Chicane "One Thousand Suns"). Hint hint. Wink Wink. But seriously...please pay really close attention to *all* the songs on this set. Like I said above...every song here is emotionally powerful. As always, my sets are conceived and composed with every ounce of love that I've got to give. I firmly believe that each of us is placed here on earth to give a particular gift to our world around us that needs it so badly. *This* is my gift to you. From my heart...to your ears.

I've been planning this mix for months now and so excited about it...so it brings me huge joy to finally get it to you.   I'll tell you about the influences that helped me create it and then I'll tell you about why I envision it as "Fire Island" house music.  First, the influences.  I was lucky enough to live in Philly during the glory days of clubbing (the 90s). Because of my close proximity to NYC I was going to clubs on a near-weekly basis listening to internationally famous DJs such as Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, DJ BUC (RIP), Hex Hector, Louie Vega, Danny Tenaglia and Morabito to name a few.  I was going to clubs such as Sound Factory, Roxy, Limelight and Sound Factory Bar(and of course the Pavilion on Fire Island).  Those DJs were the most influential to me -- and largely molded me and my style of DJing from the very beginning.  So that's a quick bit about where my influences come from.   About why I envision this music as "Fire Island" house music:  It was almost always a guarantee that me and my friends would stay in the clubs and parties until the very last note rang out -- usually in the wee hours of the morning.  During the Autumn, Winter and Spring the above-mentioned clubs were the places to be.  As the nights turned into mornings the sound would transition to a spin-chilling sound that was laden with pianos, horns and sweeping melodies.  Morning music was a thing and it had a most definite sound.  It was jazz, funk, disco and urban influenced.  During the summertime the center of gravity in New York moves out to the most magical paradise of the Fire Island Pines and Cherry Grove.  That same clubbing blueprint is enacted at the Pavilion in the Pines.  I have been fortunate to spend more nights than I can count experiencing that glory.  But it isn't just about clubbing on Fire Island.  House culture is a huge thing on the island.  One can walk the boardwalks at 3PM or 3AM and it is guaranteed that there will be music wafting through the air.  And it's not just any music.  It's *THIS* music.  Because this music is melodic and rooted in "real" music...it is also versatile and perfectly aligns itself with not only early morning clubbing but also lazy days by the pool and on the beach.  About this particular mix:  I hope you love hearing it as much as I loved creating it.  It's something of a tale of two sounds (that perfectly belong together).  The first half of the mix is made up of stunning piano house pieces. I then transition into a more vocal-centric sound the second half of the mix that is influenced by that jazz, disco and funk that I speak about above.  Every note you hear...started in my heart.  As I always say...from my HEART...to your EARS.  Love.   #/Artist/Title/Remix 01.  Moon Rocket/Main Piano/Piano & Strings Intro 02.  Wayne Cooper/The Piano Song/Teddy Douglas Remix 03.  Daisuke Miyamoto/Dawn/Original Mix 04.  Danny Tenaglia/The Brooklyn Gypsy/Original Mix 05.  Jo Paciello/The Big Sun/DAN:ROS Remix 06.  Shortcut/Love Like This/Original Mix 07.  Rona Ray/Feel The Groove/Original Mix 08.  De' Lacy/That Look/Roger Garcia & George Calle Disco Lights Vocal 09.  Chocolate Fudge Band/Everything/DJ Fudge Extended Mix 10.   Caio Cenci/Bad Girls/Extended Mix 11.   Gianni Santoro/Going Up/Vibe Mix 12.  Neal Conway/Darlin Darlin Baby/Spen & Thommy's Original 13.  Karen Harding/Free To Love/David Morales Disco Juice Mix 14.  Ferrari & Bergamasco/People Hold On/F&B Club Mix

As you know I have three DJ mix series that I produce:  Sophisticated Deep, Morning and Chill.  All three of the series are authentic labors of love of mine;  artistic works that genuinely come from deep within.   As I sit and ponder I sometimes think that the Deep sets differ so strikingly from the Chill and Morning sets.  But upon deeper thought...no, they actually don't.  From the very beginning of my spinning career I was known for having a "morning" sound.  Back in the old days...it was actually called "morning music".  But times have changed (and so have I) and it's not called that anymore.  However, the SPIRIT of it all is still the same.  In the old days when I played live I often played trance and progressive house before ending up in "morning music" in the late night hours.  If you analyze my music today...you will hear that my Morning and Chill sets are musical descendants of the old morning music and that my Deep sets are musical descendants of the trance and progressive house sound I used to play.  At the end of the day...all these sounds that I play are still rooted (mostly) in the late-night and morning hours. So...I have changed a lot...but not at all, all at once.  That's some stuff to ponder.  Let's talk about this, my newest Deep mix.  Wow.  I couldn't be happier with this.  As you know I like my mix sets to be little journeys.  This journey generally consists of three distinct sections.  I start the set off by gently sending you off into soothing organic and melodic house.  About five songs in I subtly transition into a deep and sexy sound that has masculine and sturdy tribal undertones.  Lots of percussion, horns and sexy rolling rhythms.  And finally, before you know it, I crescendo into a sound of melodic and anthemic progressive house.  All three segments of the mix very subtly belong together.  I hope you love taking this mini journey as much as I loved making it.  From my heart...to your ears....ENJOY.  #/ARTIST/TITLE/REMIX 01.  El Mundo, Zazou/Through Your System/Original 02.  Larson (AR)/Moments/Original Mix 03.  Hermanez/Jinx/Volen Sentir Pure Magic Healing 04.  Domingo +/Everything Is OK/Original Mix 05.  Serious Dances/Time For School/Original Mix 06.  Amonita/Jungle Blues/Makebo Remix 07.  Lannka/Quiero Vivir/Original Mix 08.  Lannka/Daraxa/Derun Remix 09.  Gabriel Balky/Go Ahead/Original Mix 10.  Momo Khani/Azadi/Original Mix 11.  Noiyse Project/Aurora Rain/Greenage Remix 12.  Amir Telem/Prayer To The Sea/Greg Ochman MixFOR WORLDWIDE DJ BOOKING INFORMATION:Email:  [email protected]: 615-418-8900Instagram:  DJ Brian NorwoodFacebook:  Brian Norwood
