House producer from New Jersey born in 1972. The sound of Todd Edwards is characterised by an hypnotic collage of short cut-up samples over swung US garage beats and lively disco flavoured bass-lines. He started his musical career around 1992-93. Influenced by Marc Kinchen, whose 'MK' remixes were very popular to feature vocal reconstructions ('Push The Feeling On' by Nightcrawlers, The, 'Can You Forgive Her' by the Pet Shop Boys among others). Credited as one of the godfathers of UK speed garage, Edwards is also a committed Christian and often mention 'Jesus' and 'God' as his primary sources of inspiration....

Their one and only contribution to posterity was a single, "All Night Girl" b/w "How Could You Say One Thing," of which -- too typical of English rock at the time -- the B-side was the greater achievement, a stomping soul selection that could have done great things on the charts and for the group, had it not been overlooked. It has since surfaced on the compilation CD The Mod...

Although he charted no significant hits and died in obscurity, Tibby Edwards was one of those unsung performers who affected almost everyone who heard him. Born Edwin Thibodeaux in Garland, LA, on March 19, 1935, Edwards spent his childhood in the Louisiana and West Texas region, acquiring early the subtle Cajun influences that would inform his later music. He began singing and playing guitar as a teen and soon fell under the spell of honky tonk singers Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell. Edwards eventually met Frizzell in 1949 and became a protégé, touring with Frizzell for a period of time...
