Free Time: Todd Edwards

Todd Edwards created an innovative blend of rhythmic, cut-and-paste vocal samples, rubbery basslines, and slapping percussion that helped propel Britain&#39;s Sunday clubscene into the genuine cultural phenomenon of speed garage. Based in New Jersey, Edwards began producing for Nervous, the New York house label, during the early &#39;90s. His 1993 &quot;Guide My Soul&quot; single, recorded as Messenger, established a prototype for garage music that retained the soul and grit but avoided the overly polished airs much of the music had acquired. One year later, &quot;The Praise&quot; (as the Sample Choir) continued Edwards&#39; irresistible, unique production style -- which often utilizes dozens of different samples, many of them himself -- and he also worked with two &quot;real&quot; vocalists, Kim English (&quot;Tomorrow&quot;) and Veda Simpson (&quot;Oohhh Baby&quot;).
 
In 1994, Edwards recorded several tracks for an upcoming New Jersey jazz-house label, i! Records. One year later, his second proper release on the label, &quot;Saved My Life,&quot; became a big club hit and earned license in Britain through Pete Tong&#39;s ffrr Records. He provided remixes for several dance hits, by Robin S., Wildchild, Indo, St Germain, The Beloved, and label-mate Kevin Yost. In 1999, Nervous collected his productions on a CD collection, and i! Records released Prima Edizione, a quasi-compilation including four new tracks. Edwards also released an EP with Tuff Jam, and completed a co-production for inclusion on Daft Punk&#39;s sophomore album. ~ John Bush, Rovi
