Todd Edwards – House Masters (Test Pressing)

Defected Records welcomes house and UKG legend Todd Edwards into the prestigious list of House Masters with this incredible compilation, charting an influential career that spans over three decades. This collection of records features classics from Todd’s repertoire alongside newer hits from the New Jersey native, many of which Defected have fully remastered since acquiring his catalogue in 2020. Often credited as one of the founding fathers of UK Garage, Todd’s influence on a scene some 6,000 miles from his home is credit to his truly unique sonic aesthetic. By manipulating chopped-up samples and using vocal clips like instruments within his productions, as well as time and pitch shifts, Todd deliberately created an entirely new sound, thanks to the early studio equipment that he had at his disposal at the time. ‘House Masters – Todd Edwards’ condenses the very best of Todd’s contribution to the world of dance music, showcasing Todd’s solo productions, legendary remixes and high-profile collaborations. Whether you’re a dedicated follower of his thirty-year career or dipping your toes into his discography for the first time, this curated selection of Todd’s finest moments is the definitive collection.
