Episode 30: Fire Island House Music 8

Mixed Emotions by Brian Norwood

I have always been a huge fan of many different genres of music and that's been a real blessing to me as a person but in some regards I consider it a slight curse -- as an artist. Let me explain that so that it makes sense. Personally I love many different genres of music -- some that might surprise you. I love disco, tech house, techno...and the list goes on and on and on. You probably don't know me much for those sounds because I don't push them forward very often in my podcast sets. What you probably know me most for is my chill and deep house sets. I decided a good few years ago that it was important that I try as hard as I could to "brand" myself in a particular way...so as to not confuse the listeners who came upon me. Artistry is important but branding is also extremely important. As an artist one never wants to confuse their audience. So...I decided to work hard to "stay in my lane" since it was one that I love passionately and consider myself to be pretty good at. If you listen to my (Sophisticated) Morning, Deep and Chill sets you will hear direct similarities in them. They all fit nicely together running what I call "parallel to the dance floor". They are kind of dance floor friendly....but also kind of not.
All that being said...I AM a child of the dance floor. I love to dance and I love to DJ to dance floors. That brings me to this newest podcast, Fire Island House Music 8. Every summer I have released a Fire Island House Music set because I love house music so much and as a gift to my many listeners who I know love it as much as I do. Two weeks ago I released #7 in this series and was totally blown away by the outreach from my listeners in response to it. I actually can't remember the last time I received response like this to a music set. I've had phone calls, direct messages and even had people calling me through Facebook Messenger.
House and disco house are what I mainly spin at my live performances but feeling and seeing your response to that last Fire Island House set has motivated me to start pushing more of them out via podcast. If I confuse a person or two....well, so be it. I'm going to listen to you (and my heart). From my heart...to your ears...ENJOY!
