this is the future of UK garage - 4 to the floor bizness
pretty lol watching blogger tards who've been wanking on about the 2step pop shite suddenly realise what the REAL shit is in the UK underground.
there is very very little merit to almost all UK garage right now. only producers i can be bothered with are zed bias, mj cole and todd edwards..

Anyway, I'm with Tim on the Hakan Lidbo remix, probably T.E.'s best voice-chopping ever.
Search also:
Sound Of One “As I Am” (Todd Edwards Mix) – for its ridiculously concise push-push bassline
James Lavonz's mix of T.E.’s “Saved My Life” – for good thwacky ruff-up of Todd’s lily-whiteness
new Akufen album -- pretty clearly some T.E. fetish by way of Cologne
Whew, I loved him...his tendency to all but command nervous- making words like ‘glorious’ while mixing in an optional dose of sick sinisterism. Float away or freak out, as you wish.

Anyway, bar a few duff tracks, Full On 2 is set to be amazing. I'm soooo psyched (not to mention pretty damn impatient by now). He's made a few radio appearances in UK radio last week, and sound clips have been put up on www.todd-edwards.net. I recommend heading straight for the part 2 of the set he did on Richie Vibe Vee's show - the sequence from "You're The One" to the Space Cowboy remix is my new favourite thing ever.
Also - anyone seen recent pics of the man? He certainly got helluva lot chubbier since those two old I! Records promo shots that have been the only existing available images of him for, ooh, an eternity. Also, he now wears a T-shirt with the legend "Jesus loves garage"! Godlike genius indeed.

Unless you're talking about a microhouse producer who has just started in the last year or two, I think it's terribly difficult to pinpoint who took what from where. In Akufen's case, his '00/'01 releases wouldn't have been out of place on Kompakt; if anything, he was developing nuances in his style at the same time. You have to consider that some of his earlier releases were on Trapez and Perlon, two labels that have made the style what it is just as much as Kompakt.
Besides, someone who picks up a Kompakt 12" at random these days has about a 1/4 chance of hearing a track that resembles anything on My Way. Several other labels are more confined to that type of sound -- again, some have released Akufen tracks. With the way Kompakt has branched out in the last few years, I find myself using them as an adjective a lot less these days -- almost never, actually.
(None of this has anything to do with Edwards, so I apologize. I really enjoyed reading the article, if that helps.)
(Why couldn't the Akufen pictured in Matos' article be placed in that Pixies video to hack up Frank Black?)

With Akufen, I couldn't really get past the first few tracks on the album, which (admittedly on a superficial listen) sounded like bad IDM circa 1995.
― Ben Williams, Tuesday, 22 April 2003 23:13 (twenty years ago) link
That is the single best thing to happen in a long time. If Todd Edwards can get out of his speed garage-beat rut, then we have a lot of wonderful music to look forward to. Maybe I should start going to church.

I listened to Never Ever Far again. Think its a great track, obviously. But I'm really not hearing anything much 2-steppy about it. There's the 4/4 pulse, and the barest hint of a melodic bassline. The drum pattern shuffles along, sure, but I wouldn't exactly call it "intricate" and it doesn't do anything to break up the pulse. And it just plods along unchanged for the duration of the song. I think his rhythms are quite downbeat, actually.
Whereas I then put on Rewind, to take a completely random example, and I hear a rhythm that's much more ruptured, with lots more internal breaks, micropulses, microedits... there's just so much going on. And that's not a particularly adventurous 2-step track. There's not really any dub elements going on in it, for instance, which bring a whole extra level of beef and disorientation on 2-step tracks from early (Double 99) to late (James Lavonz).
For me a lot of the best 2-step outshines Edwards--whether you agree with that or not, I think it's hard to dispute that there's a lot more going on in the music than what he brought to the party. All I'm saying is, I think the James Brown-Ohio Players metaphor is a tad overstated... I never liked the Ohio Players much, either!

Interzone bubblers and afrobeats should be such a natural fit but that TS7 remix just doesn't work, kinda clunky imo.

i'm not sure they're a natural fit at all actually but it's an intriguing clunkyness... would say the fuse is less so cos his vocal is only glancingly afro anyway whereas todd leans on soca caribbean to make it work

my latest music obsession is Todd Edwards, going through his early singles/remixes, and tbh it's hard to find stuff I *don't* like. uk garage is such a particular style, I know the honeymoon can't last -- but then I LOVE the style, and will happily play it for hours on end when the mood strikes.
