[[Todd Edwards]] is a Garage producer from Bloomfield, New Jersey, and undoubtedly the [[Trope Codifier]] of sampling; he is known for taking small samples from many various songs and mixing them together, something not heard of before he started making music.
Beginning on 111 East Records, he released the single "Get Carried Away" under the name "The Todd Edwards Project" in 1992. This song was [[Early Installment Weirdness|very much unlike anything he had made since,]] as it's more like a regular dance track, and doesn't contain his signature sample chopping style he is famous for today.

And year later, he released another single, called "Guide My Soul" on the New York-based label, Nervous, this time as "The Messenger". This one was closer to his usual sampling style.
A year after ''that'', he released the single "The Praise", [[I Have Many Names|now as]] "The Sample Choir". The same year, he made many tracks for [[Excited Show Title!|i!]] Records, a then new New Jersey-based label. One of them, "Saved My Life", became a huge club hit, and gave him his place in the [[Electronic Music]] world. He has made remixes for a large pool of artists, such as St. Germain, [[Daft Punk|Daft Punk,]] (also provided the vocals and co-produced their song "Face To Face") Justice (as Sunshine Brothers), The Superman Lovers, [[
