- One of my favourite parts in Todd Edwards' tracks is that wonderful moment when the bass and drums just drop out, leaving you alone for a moment with that beautiful patchwork of sound, colour and memory, the samples that make Todds style so unique. Whether its just the sheer weightlessness of these sections in contrast to the rest of the track, like watching a car leave the ground in slow-motion as it races over a rise in the road, or a simple fascination with such beautiful chords and voices beating treated in such a contrasting, mechanical way, these bits are always real moments of beauty and soul, in my eyes at least.
Here, partly out of boredom, and partly out of sheer curiosity, I've collected together some of my favourite Todd breakdowns with some accompanying photographs, in the hope that youll understand me when I say Todds music is some of the most inspiring and beautiful around, as well as maybe giving you the chance to hear Todds music in a refreshing new light.

proves that todd needs to make an ambient album
DAN even 7 years later this comment is still relevant
firstly, i love the concept and the tempo chosen for this!
secondly, it's very difficult to get across (to people who doesn't know about todd's music), what it is that makes it so special. when i've attempted to, i leave with the impression that they think i'm a little crazy, but ultimately it's their loss!
Trying to explain Todd to people that don't understand his music is like trying explain to people why only some people can understand Stewie in Family guy and some people can't. It's just the way it is!
5 years later and I'm still enjoying this video. Thanks for putting this together.
Dizcinger Bless
Cheers man, makes me happy that it's still connecting with Todd fans. Peace x
I’ll never get bored of this, 11 years and counting. Thank you!
same👌
i love this style of mosaic sampling. It doesn't take anything other than sheer talent to be able to smash something to pieces and bring out your own vision from inside of it.
I hope this video never gets removed from TH-cam. I've watched it so much, the pictures are really an excellent choice, It's practically art.
I've been listening to this for over 10 years now. Still excellent!
It feels nice to be able to look at any of those images and be sure that they were made by a real person.
lost count how many times this video has made a bad day good over the years. thank you for making it. such wonderful selections, images and love for the man like todd. peace! ^^
Insane quality by Todd. So much emotional and forward thinking talent. I’ve always thought of him to be up there with MF Doom & J Dilla in terms of sampling/chopping but tbh he takes it to another level. The way he flips samples into notes and melodies blows my mind. His basslines just tie everything together so beautifully. Big ups Todd!
Yep! Spot on here mate
fantastic, fantastic, fantastic......The reason why we can't get enough of Todd Edwards....Mind melting breakdowns.......heavy.
I remember first coming across this video when I was just a really young teenager (this also sparking my love for Todd Edwards' music). Up to this day I still find myself coming back to watching this video again & again, I just can't express how relaxed this makes me feel whenever I listen with headphones, especially when the images are matching the sort of feeling the song portrays, I just love it! My favourite breakdown still has to be I Hear Him!
Zonaverdi, I think you've encapsulated what is so beautiful about Todd's works. The multiple layers of sounds, the messages he puts across, and the rough around the edges sampling. He cuts and pastes in way that is hard to match. The best parts of Todd's music are when you lose the beat and all you hear is the wonderful sample solo (a lot like an orchestra). Those parts of his songs always makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. Exactly what great music is suppose to do to you.
Always come back to this no matter what mood ....
I first listened to this in 2013. The most atmospheric music Id ever heard. Todd will live on, even if Daft Punk is no longer 😢
i doo love this, but i also looove it when he just drops it down to the pure beat & the funkin bouncin bassline. love the todd edwards!!!
This is kind of a silly illustration, but this is what this vid is like to me:
Its like when your eating cereal and pick out only the sweet fluffy marshmellows.
I love that you picked mostly old skool tracks as well; totally takes me back to when I was like 13 or 14 and was just discovering electronic music. Just by CHANCE I downloaded the latest richie vibe show on 1xtra, and it was of an interview with todd as well as a mix. I instantly was in love with ukg from that second onward!
I love the breakdown bits. My faves are "Crazy Love" and "You Should Have Known".
Nice one! I don't know, I just sort of chose pictures that came closest to what I imagined each breakdown would look like - images and colours that summed up the sound and emotion of Todd's samples. I guess not everyone's going to think all the pictures are suitables, as everyone has their own unique memories attached to each track. But hey, I'm glad you liked them nontheless! Peace.
This amazing.
I love you and Todd!
Thanyyou from the depths of my heart.
Man after my own heart with this breakdown!! Love it mate... Todd is by far the best sampler out there..has been for years...theres a interview somewhere on youtube with him talking about how MK was a big influence on him..but todd took sampling to a how new level...i call his music "pure sunshine" music 😀 thanks for the upload 👌👍🌞
I'm going to need to check that interview out - thanks for the heads up! Appreciated, glad you like it. Take care x
This vid alone should be #1 in the charts tbh. Breakdowns alone Todd is the god
What you wrote in the description is just... beautiful... Thank you for these.
Genius ! Todd Edwards broken down into even more greatness
Best video! its been forever and I still revisit it every now and then
This means a lot Tyler, glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by!
I really like the video description. Pure Todd dedication, putting my own thoughts into words.
awesome.... my favourite producer of all time
favourite breakdown is from both the vocal and dub mixes of 'You Should Have Known', the dub version more so
btw for Little Scare there is another version that has the breakdown without the 4/4 kick
GODLIKE
Incredible caption. Great job. Thank you for this. I knew I wasnt the only one getting them feels everytime I listen to these soulful and colorful breakdowns! Kudos man!
loving the images lool
good work !
Todd Edwards = living legend. Zonaverdi, great job. Interesting how Todd has made (amazing) music largely by chopping up vocals and now Zonaverdi has chopped up Todd's tracks for this (superb) vid. Anyone gonna chop up Zonaverdi's TH-cam vids and make a compilation? Btw big shout to DJ EZ for introducing me (and no doubt loads of other Londoners) to the world of Todd.
I can't stop listening to this mix...over and over again...hours and hours......Z.....you are a master at work...we share the same music intellect.....I've alwasy loved the breakdowns - that patchwork of sounds.........especially on a Spliff/blunt........I do have my fav's though...to be fair though, once I looked them all up and heard them.......your mix sounded better...no offence mighty Todd as you are a GOD....
absolutely amazing . thanks for making this clip !
Whatever that magic thing is that Todd does.. it drives me wild!
Maybe " ONE DAY" the full mix will be restored!
