Episode 24: Sophisticated Morning 80

Mixed Emotions by Brian Norwood

I've been thinking about life lately; where I've been, where I am and where I'm going. I've been thinking about the musical traditions and history that involve our gay culture and subculture. I consider myself so fortunate to have come of age when I did. The second Summer of Love from the summer of '88 had recently happened and ballooned into a full-on worldwide phenomenon resulting in music that was being produced at the time that was melodic, heartfelt and emotionally rich. Those were the "golden years" musically. I entered gay (sub)culture in the mid-90's and I was largely shaped by Susan Morabito, Michael Fierman, BUC, Jimmy Gomez, Sasha, John Digweed, the Brothers In Rhythm and too many more to count. These were (are) DJs that taught me to tell stories through music. Music ended up changing as the decade moved along, but I didn't (musically). So that's where I was. But where am I now? I'm proud to say very much the same place I always was. That being said...I pride myself on playing *only* new releases by current superstars or emerging artists. So I'm constantly looking backwards with a remembrance of the traditions and history that I came from but with my eye firmly on the who and what of now. Where will I will be in the future? I can't say exactly. But if history serves as a guide....I do know. Exactly.
