the godlike genius of Todd Edwards

pretty good track for a biter

Wow:

I guess that one is the most recent of a series of responses to this first one:

First response:

The one posted a day before the first one I posted (i.e. two days ago):

(Those are for the sake of completeness; I don't claim they're all equally listenable, though stitching together his breakdowns like that is definitely interesting.)

his set at fabric last night was so. fucking. amazing. couldn't stop dancing. revelatory. his remix's of roy davis jr's "i have a vision" and kingdom's "mind reader" <3 <3 <3 <3

Still searching in vain for that Enya remix...

This week I've uploaded a new Todd Edwards tribute mix online:

haha the only reason i'm not sure is cos i just reread myself on the kingdom thread last year saying i didnt know what to do with the 'mind reader' remix, and according to the radio the answer all along was just to bang it out cos it's great

This is seriously great.

That "Generation" track! Whoooooooaa. And I never would have guessed it was him.

kind of a fun studio "tour", wish it was a bit longer

This is where I got the inspiration for the track "This Generation"

love the "shall go" ep so much

i feel like the x-tian angle has been much more upfront lately, or at least i wasn't noticing it before, to the point that i've been pausing on buying some of his releases

that's interesting, i thought the opposite - or maybe rather i'd felt it even more strongly in years previous but now cos with him expanding his palette a tiny bit it seems more diffuse and less didactic

or idk it may just simply be as i intimated upthread that he fell out of my scope of relevance for a while and now i'm myopically bang into him again

i take particular enjoyment from his remix game of late - i guess with any other producer it would be kinda lame the way he blankly steamrollers the source material but with him it's like this sweetly absentminded (but not) father brown thing almost, very amusing

like how he turns this abject bollocks into this for instance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je8UCmQ45h4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5q1u0ccezY

and as you can see that one takes on a religious vibe purely just out of your awareness of todd being todd

his remix of wretch 32's 'forgiveness' is another good one, solves the thorny question of wretch by ejecting him from his own track entirely

god had forgotten how truly dire modestep are since my r1 days. their big breakout single i think is the worst pop track of all time.

:O

absolutely extraordinary even for todd

would love to have seen the face on these schmucks when they received their totally average-ass tune back done up like that

def an inauspicious caterpillar.

can't stop playing this, pure ambrosia.

damn

revisited prima edizione in the last couple of days. shit's real

"look out" has a ridiculous flow!

not even sure if i'll enjoy the instrumental here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3T2XblxvPg

I kind of feel like the track works and the vocal works but they don't work together?

this 'the most beautiful thing' remix is incredible.

how do we feel about... this...

http://soundcloud.com/todd-edwards/todd-edwards-no-place-like-london-radio-edit

WTF

that's, erm, less incredible.

or perhaps in another sense.

haha, I cracked up so hard at the beginning of that

There's no place like...Liverpool?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APLo8XyDOlc&feature=player_embedded

We talked about this one yet?

meh

Well, compared to the original its a step up. A major one.

I'm still having a hard time believing that this Crosstown Rebels, Visionquest, Hot Creations sound that Todd Burns seems so infatuated with is actually a major thing.

Ooh so slow druggy deep house with OK drums, so amazing.
