Todd Edwards Falling Down the Stairs
A 5 track house ep (19m 7s) — released November 25th 2013 on Activia Benz
Having had a successful 2013 so far, we at Activia Benz are continuing our journey into fun party music, with our first ever "House?" release. It's not really house, but it's something a bit different that's for sure.
DJ DJ Booth claims his influences to consist of "Todd Edwards and The Neptunes. That's it." We don't believe him. Partly because we know him and know that he definitely likes a lot of different music. He's just trying to be quirky.
However, his claims seem quite convincing when listening to his debut EP "Todd Edwards Falling Down The Stairs". The EP starts off in the realms of straight up bangin' old school house / garage with "Ur Wastin My Time". Chopped vocals and a stinky bassline make for an instant club hit. From there on in the EP gradually gets less predictable, with "Sknbyfmymnrrwdy" and "Ch Ch Blaow" both taking you on weird journeys across the dancefloor, interspersed with threats from Big Pun and gunshots respectively. "Heaven" rounds things off with a softer edge and a helluva grooove.
London based A.G. Cook has provided a remix for "Heaven" that is genuinely quite bizarre, speeding up the whole track and adding some truly ingenious vocals ("125BPM, plus twenty percent, heaven at Gmail, sent"). At first it's like WTF but it becomes very infectious very quickly and all of a sudden it's like OMG.
