They don’t call Todd Edwards ‘Todd the God’ for nothing. He all but invented U.K. garage music, has collaborated with Daft Punk twice on two of their most iconic songs, and won a GRAMMY for Record of the Year for his work on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories. Defective Records is currently re-releasing a mountain of his classic tracks to great acclaim.
His latest collaboration with his life partner Michael Horgan, aka Mystic Aytch, finds him stretching his production skills into pop and indie rock. Over dinner and drinks near their home in Silver Lake in Los Angeles, Todd and Michael discussed the inspiration behind their new project, the story of their romance, and Todd’s long, inspiring road to self-acceptance.
