I was invited to be part of their journey on two of the most brilliant albums ever made. Working with them taught me how much more there is to music than just its creation. They’ve helped shape the world of art for the better and are a shining example (1/2)
I can't believe it has been 10 years since I had this life changing experience and got to work with Daft Punk again. This record won me a Grammy for my work on it and actually inspired me to move across the country to LA, I am forever grateful. -
These are my handwritten lyrics from the writing and recording process of Daft Punk 'Face to Face' if you can read my handwriting you can see we had a few changes along the way, but I couldn't of been happier with how it turned out.

So over on Tik Tok I went on a rant about producers putting two tracks together and claiming to be a musical genius, so I threw down a challenge that I could mash together any two tracks (that my followers suggested) as an example of how it can be done...this is how it's going!
My 79yr old mother has watched videos of me djing UKG events. Now when my father complains about something over and over, she turns to him and yells, “WHO WANTS A REEEWINDD??” Seriously.
So last week was the 20th Anniversary of my first official UK show in Romford and the birth of the 'Jesus Loves UK Garage T-shirt' so I thought I would find and show you all the actual T-shirt I wore that night.

I have received so many messages asking follow up questions about the

25 years ago Daft Punk gave me a shout out on the track ‘Teachers’ and it started me on an incredible journey with them both. It was really great to see the recording of the 1997 live show from LA last week and hearing my name shouted out again on the track!

of what can be accomplished when the goal is excellence, not fame. Many are sad today because they see an end of an era. I look to what they will inspire us with next... (2/2)

Have you checked out 'The Writing of Fragments Of Time' a 5 hour writing session with
@daftpunk
condensed into 8 minutes, as
@zanelowe
described it it's 'an audio documentary podcast song' I hope you enjoyed this look into the process we went through to create this track!
I think it's incredible that Todd Edwards has every sample from face to face on a floppy disk, yet he still sat back and let the community find them for 20+ years
I will be participating in a Discord AMA at 9am (PT) / 5pm (UK Time) today on the official
@daftpunk
Discord, come join us to chat about my experiences working with the robots and celebrating 10 years of 'Random Access Memories' -
I hope you enjoyed yesterdays video about
@daftpunk
‘Fragments Of Time' writing session and if you did and want to know more here is Part 2, hopefully this helps you all get a better understanding of the process we went through to create this track.

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful soul on this planet, Michael Horgan. You’re love has gotten me through the most difficult times. It’s made me a happy man, which is someone I wasn’t before I met you. (1/2)
Over a year ago I announced that a vast majority of my back catalogue would be available again through
@DefectedRecords
after a lot of work from everyone involved and a global pandemic causing setbacks, I am beyond excited to finally tell you..(1/2)
Full details on release dates coming soon but
@DefectedRecords
will release 140+ of my classic tracks to stream & download. They will re-issue certain tracks on vinyl & release new remixes of these too + Defected will release a House Masters Compilation of my work.
Ahead of the release of the 10th Anniversary edition of 'Random Access Memories'
@daftpunk
have released a video of 'The Writing Of Fragments of Time' head to Youtube to see the track come together -
In 2000 I got to work with Japanese group m-flo remixing ‘How You Like Me Now?' I have always looked at the vocals as musical instruments and sounds which I could manipulate and change in the way I chop them, so not always knowing what the lyrics were saying really intrigued me!
If anyone missed my AMA on
@daftpunk
Discord channel last week you can listen back to the whole thing on Youtube, minus the parts where my signal cut out, go check it out! -
I love making special edits of tracks to play at shows and this one I worked on just before my last run of shows has been going down great in my set!

My friend

To all my true UK fans! My good friend

If you watched the Clubhouse Daft Punk chat myself and Nile were involved in earlier in the week you would of heard him mention they would send him videos in the full robot costumes. Incredible to get to see these

Happy Thanksgiving! This Thanksgiving I want to share a photo of my framed record I received from working on ‘Face to Face’ with

When
@daftpunk
first released 'Random Access Memories' I took part in a mini documentary series about each track on the album. As part of the anniversary celebrations each episode is being uploaded to the robots Youtube channel so you can watch them back, enjoy!

as we all discussed our experiences of Daft Punk. I have placed a copy of the audio below in case anyone missed it. Have a listen back and enjoy reminiscing with us.

I have been going through my old notebooks and came across the original lyrics for my collab with

‘Face to Face’ and wanted to share them with you. Hope this gives you an insight into my creative process, if you can read my handwriting 😂

listeners to France to highlight the incredible influence their music scene, and in particular the legendary Daft Punk, had on my own career. Listen back on

or via 🗣🎙 🇫🇷 🔊 📡 📻 🔒
To prepare for the release of my back catalogue on
@DefectedRecords
I went back through all my old tracks creating stems of the original tracks, it took days in some cases but will be so worth it when they are all released!

I spent 15 hours converting this box of 200 zip discs of my old tracks and remixes to my solid state drive. The box weighed 40 pounds and it all amounted to less than 10 gigs of data which is about 1% of my state drive. It is crazy how slow technology was in the early 2000's.
Happy Birthday Michael Horgan. You know I can never tell you enough how happy my life is because you’re in it! Your positivity and your music inspire me , and I look forward to coming home to your smile every night! I love you!🙏🏼❤️
27 years ago I released

debut compilation and to continue, the tallest man in electronic music
@intergalacticz
is releasing a brand new one called 'All Thru The Night' on March 29th, and it features a brand new track we collaborated on together!

Sometimes I get asked to work on tracks with artists and for various reasons it just does not work out, while it can be demoralising you can always learn something from those sessions and move onto the next one!

I am heartbroken to hear the amazingly talented Kim English has sadly passed away, she was an iconic voice in House Music and a key member of the
@NERVOUSRECORDS
family. I was blessed to be able to write the song 'Tomorrow' for her. Let her spirit continue to shine bright, RIP x
Congratulations to everyone who was honoured at The Grammys over the weekend, every year it takes me back to this iconic moment winning 'album of the year' with Daft Punk for 'Random Access Memories'. I just can't stop smiling in this photo 😊

In April 2013 I got back my i! Records back catalog. The re-release of my 100+ projects will be available soon. In the mean time I hope you enjoy a free download of my mixed Full On: Volume One album. Big love to my fans and friends! <3
There’s nothing I look forward to more than coming home every day to that smile of yours. I’m so thankful that you’ve been by my side for 7 1/2 years, and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you. I love you Michael. (2/2)

The beginning of the night...
Guest List Lady: “What’s your name?”
Me: “Todd Edwards”
Guest List Lady: (checks list) “I’m sorry, I don’t see you on here...”
Me: “...But....But I’m headlining...”😳
Guest List Lady: (looks at flyer) “Ok, let him through”
🙄🤦🏻♂️😜
