Todd Edwards Historic 1st UK Show Romford, 2003
This is a clip from Todd Edwards legendary performance in the UK for the first time live at 4by4, Time & Envy, in Romford, United Kingdom. This performance, specifically this exact moment and track (todd edwards- wishing i were home), has gone down as one of the most iconic performances of house and UK garage.
This clip means a lot to me, whether its the beauty of the track itself, or the crowd and their reactions, it shows the enormous power music can have on human beings. People of all backgrounds, gathered in one place for one reason only, to enjoy life and to listen to music. Not only is it a profound moment in house music, but it is a wonderful moment in history. We take moments like...

    Time to Care was the first Todd Edwards vinyl I bought from City Sounds on D’Ablay Street in SoHo. Early 2000s were an amazing time for 4x4 UKG

    This is so brilliant. You can see Todd acting a little confused by people shouting "boo". I wonder if he knew that boo meant good? I like the whole back story that leads up to this event. 4x4 Garage music had long been superseded by 2 step and grime. However, a revival was taking place on the internet, the Uptown Records forum! The 4x4 revival grew to a point where people could put on this event. It was a great little niche scene / community where everyone debated and shared their tunes and mixes online. You could literally send EZ an MP3 of your home made track via MSN, and he'd play it out on his radio show on Kiss FM the next day! I used to go to the gas club to watch EZ, and the moment a Todd tune came on, I'd do my very best to dance like an absolute frantic idiot, to show my respect to the God, LOL

    It would be packed even on a Wednesday and Thursday night in its day. Also Yates, Hollywoods, Edwards, Secrets would alsi be packed. It's a complete ghost town now, even on a Saturday night. It's not just Romford tho, the younger generation don't seem to go out all that much. Too busy staying in taking photos of themselves for wanky likes on Instagram.
