the godlike genius of Todd Edwards

Maybe not the best place to ask, but does anyone have this remix Todd did of Enya's "Afer Ventus"???

the audio is a rip from 1xtra so it has some talking and an air horn:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0NZg5nkfds

i only have the realmedia rip from the same show - the only time that track has surfaced in public, as far as i know. no sign of it ever being released, ditto "Roll With It" and the Gina Thompson remix. :(

on the upside, here's a brand new Todd track:
http://media.putfile.com/Todd-Edwards---Come-On-To-Me-MCDONALDS-AT-THE-ROAAD--Haha-XD-EZ

haha i only wish that did actually sound like 'mcdonalds at the road'. lovely track still.

would i be right in saying that that's better than anything on full on 3? i've only heard the clips.

well, if you mean *new* tracks on "Full On 3" then you're basically right - except for "When Angels Sing", which is pure magic.

Am I the only one who loves Todd but wasn't terribly into the Full On comps?

damn didn't even know there was a volume 3... no appearance of "heaven", though, which is a huge mistake

if anyone can find it, the "Prima Edizione" compilation is well worth checking out (on cd, 1999). i think it's a compilation of ep's he put out on i! Records. includes 'Light of the Son' which is one of my Todd favourites, as well as 'Fly Away' (+ ambient remix).

i seem to remember picking it up in a brixton secondhand shop a few years ago for a couple of quid. it's been a trusty mainstay of my mp3 player ever since.

<i>Prima Edizione</i> is easily the best of his CDs.

oops. Prima Edizione

my favorite track is 'end this hate'

Holy shit, I'm loving Odyssey. So much cheesy pop goodness! I really want to hear Prima Edizione, now. Why don't I hear more about this guy??

Can we have a quick POX or something, as so I can jump right in with him.

Mantra feat. Lydia Rhodes - Away (TE rmx)
Perfect Love
St. Germain - Alabama Blues (TE Dub)

Heaven (2005 mix)
Winter Behavior

If I Ever Feel Better (Todd Edwards' Dub Better Mix) - Phoenix
R U Sleeping (Todd Edwards Mix) - Indo

wants all those trax

Yeah, Prima Edizione is sooo good. The Phoenix and St. Germain remixes I've played in the last 12 months but Prima Edizione is the best. I've been listening to this alongside Thomas Melchior's "Never Give Up"..

my favorite track is 'end this hate'

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...

is it just me in my addled state marinating in dj q and ez sets every week or are todd's new bits (assuming they are new) just absolutely wicked?

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.

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.
