Todd Edwards

New Jersey's Todd Edwards is one of house music's most influential producers of all time; without the innovative maestro's sampling groundwork, the skipping, syncopated beats and cut-up, pitch-shifted vocals of U.K. garage might never have developed in the way they did. More recently, he made an unlikely move into yacht-rock crooner on the Grammy-dominating Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories. Local cosmic disco aces John Mörk and Derek Specs open.
