Tonight markes an unbelievable 2nd night for New York City’s new 2-step/Garage night “F!T,” comes Todd “The God” Edwards to the NY-stage. Brought to us by Unit.One Productions and XLR8R Magazine Located at The Knitting Factory in TriBeCa, F!T is the brainchild of Thanyen Nguyen or “Tiny,” a member of the Unit.One crew in Dallas where he got his start. Headlining the first show was Unit.One’s own Jason Mundo, a heavyweight on the Garage scene both here and abroad. Unit.One, as a production team in Dallas, throws one of the State’s most infamous parties Dub Assembly, gathering many of the UK’s most prolific DJ’s and producers in the Grime, Dubstep, and 2-step scene. Jason Mundo and FIT’s own IanJamz will be headed to the UK in September for the Bassline/Garage Music Festival with UK notables Jamie Duggan and DJ Q.

With tonight as the 2nd installment of the FIT party, it’s quite extraordinary that Speed Garage legend Todd Edwards is gracing the stage. While there isn’t enough page space here to give all the credit where credit is due, Todd is a the Godfather. For a truly educating experience (as always) head over to Dutty Artz, where Todd received a lengthy special feature from Matt Shadetek.

Particularly gifted in the field of vocal edits and vocal production (see St. Germain vocal edit below), Todd’s production ranges greatly from his original Garage creations to more strict House flavors. Todd is often considered a major influence on Daft Punk’s use of vocals in their tracks, and has contributed numerous remixes to the French-House family. Reading his catalog, one begins to realize the efficacy that this man has created for himself. Modest and quietly producing works of brilliance, he stays in his sleepy New Jersey town, rarely to come out and make an overt splash.

So it should go with out saying that for Todd Edwards fanatics, and there are many, this is an incredibly special performance from a crew of extremely passionate individuals. The lineup tonight also includes NYC’s Rowdy host Black Plague on the 1’s and 2’s, IanJamz, and Keith P here from Dallas to represent the Unit.One crew in fine style. New Yorkers sick for that classic New York House, will be remiss to default to an overcrowded bar, where Todd Edwards has mostly likely either just been played over the speakers or is playing across the street at The Knitting Factory.
