Studio Tour with Todd Edwards Producer Scion Musicless Music Conference 2011 Scion AV (Reupload)

[@SetrkiUno]

The music featured in this video is called "I Might Be", by Todd Edwards himself.

[@crapObear2323]

Immensely underrated producer. One of Daft Punk's vocalists and influences.

[@SetrkiUno]

Speaking of Daft Punk, it was their song "Face to Face" that introduced me to this man's work.

[@crapObear2323]

@@SetrkiUno Likewise. I had no idea who he was or how legendary he was until that song. surprised he didn't end up being as famous as DP.

[@TheAurelianProject]

Agreed. This guy is an actual genius. When you look in depth at how Face To Face was made with dozens of random little samples it will blow your mind.

[@TheArtfulDodger_17]

Legend ❤

Todd Edwards took Gay black New Jersey Garage and culturally appropriated it to England with a Christian filter to strengthen the gentrification.

[@goo9637]

Todd looks like a such a genuine nice person

[@GonnyParson]

So true

[@kp_cftsz9693]

I always loved how in this video he's like "alright let me show you how I sample" then immediately cuts to a basically finished track LOL

[@SetrkiUno]

Yeah, but fortunately in later videos where he shows more of his sampling process, specially in his two facebook live videos.

[@leoewart6746]

I love how he stays to his roots, old school!

[@SetrkiUno]

Agree.

[@Will-hr1qq]

You know he’s gay, and he’s from jersey, right?

[@blueberrimuffin6682]

@@sethaguilar8330 He's a gay man from Jersey who pionerred speed garage and, while not originally including religious imagery, slowly incorporated more of it in the 90s as he would find his life improved by Christianity (and would later fall out with religion, as recent interviews show). God forbid this gay man... express himself through music.

[@scart1981]

I've been in that studio! I heard the unreleased Justice - DVNO mixes in that room. It was a good day.

[@am_matesevac2001]

You’re a legend for uploading so many Todd songs!!

[@scart1981]

@@am_matesevac2001 Thanks! I have made some good friends through Todd's music. All the copyright strikes have been worth it!

[@tysonb3568]

Thats so awesome.....thats one of my Top 3 Todd Mixes, SOooooo underrated! Like his Alabama Blues mixes. I dont know how they’re not known by everyone in dance community. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Mind_Idiot]

Todd is a boss, saw him rocking the OG terminator costume during a Halloween show in vancouver. Absolute legend, nice as hell guy too. Just the epitome of humility.

[@popcycles]

Man I wish this wasn't so edited, so we can see his work flow. Oh well

[@homborgor]

“Gear is great but don’t let technology take over making music” Todd’s a genius that was years ahead of his time

[@bluebull399]

He is absolutely right. A lot of producers I know waste so much time constantly replacing their kit and then having to learn all new techniques. It gets in the way of making music. Ultimately; if you are good, you should be able to make music on anything.

[@willespalazzo]

Absolute legend. I saw this years ago, and rewatching it now made me realise how much these tiny tidbits actually influenced me as a producer, especially the part about keeping the focus on music and the soul of it. If you keep things musical and memorable, you can simply never go wrong. Todd forever.

[@carlcarter8295]

This is my dude, i didn't know he was the guy on "Face To Face." I love Todd Edwards work, it stands the test of time & soul

[@barbicud]

Thank you for reuploading this. I remember when this interview first dropped. I had to click on it as soon as I could.

[@SetrkiUno]

You're welcome. Just preserving a little Todd history, _specially_ since the original video was deleted

[@am_matesevac2001]

THANK YOU so MUCH for reuploading this, I’ve been searching like crazy

[@SetrkiUno]

You're welcome!

[@TakeMeBackPirateRadio]

Big respect Todd you stayed true his sound and craft!! Great closing statement about music theory. You're one of the best Garage producers of all time and your catalogue of music and style of production will continue to be celebrated.

[@murishal]

First time I heard his remix for St. Germain, I was wondering how this is way more different from ordinary remixes, everything was chopped but at the same time in harmony and acting as one. He has truly unique style of sound.

[@GoldenJoe]

I was captivated by the same song!

[@Pathofplenty]

One of the original house masters still going strong

[@SetrkiUno]

He is still going strong indeed.

Words from the Master. Thank you Todd!

[@DeeDerry]

Todd is a legend 🙌 Listening to his music is something special...Its the frequencies ♥️👏

[@SetrkiUno]

For me, it's the sample choices he makes (specially the "Most Beautiful Thing" and the "Slowdance" remixes, for example).

Fucking love Face to Face with Daft Punk thanks for showing us your humble set up. Just goes to show it not what you got but what you know.

Fascinating, I would never have expected to see a zip drive in use. Just goes to show that creativity trumps technology.

2:11 holy shikes is that the sounds of one remix he did that's labeled on the disc?

[@housegirl9166]

Love u Todd. ❤️❤️❤️

[@michalaleskandr3985]

This is the legend that inspired Daft Punk and the legendary Face to Face! If I'm not mistaken!

[@SetrkiUno]

To be precise, he _collaborated with_ Dafr Punk themselves to make Face to Face. And Fragments of Time some years later.

[@michalaleskandr3985]

@@SetrkiUno Yes and Random Memories... it's coming to me now. Todd would travel out to Daft! You are correct...

It's funny how an american kicked off a genre that's so big in England and the UK

[@shirkophobe]

Why? House, Techno, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Fusion, Punk, Rock and Roll and Blues were all genres kicked off by Americans and all became big in England.

[@zig8925]

@@shirkophobe Well cause the genre is litterally called "UK Garage"

[@shirkophobe]

@@zig8925 Right, which was directly influenced by Garage House or Speed Garage, which is a U.S. sub-genre which Todd Edwards pioneered.

[@zig8925]

@@shirkophobe Idk what your point is James. I just think it's funny, and i didnt know he was american until i started watching interviews. It hasn't changed my views on the genre, Todd Edwards or anything like that

@@shirkophobe You’re right, but none of them are called “UK Garage”, and barely any American knows garage music. The only artist with garage influence that got fairly good success in USA is Disclosure

different approaches lead to different results.

[@sethaguilar8330]

Todd Edwards took Gay black New Jersey Garage and culturally appropriated it to England with a Christian filter to strengthen the gentrification.

[@romulus_]

you can always find a way to twist something to fit a negative narrative. he's a legend and he developed *this* sound. it's his. and no producer is an island -- we all have inspirations and influences, typically what's going on locally. basically, get a life and stop whining about a guy who worked hard to succeed.
