During the 1990s, Edwards lent his collaborative efforts to British deep house musician Charles Webster, the most notable being "Future Love", a track released by Presence, one of Webster's pseudonyms. He started appearing as a featured artist on tracks by the Problem Kids.
However, Edwards' first mainstream breakthrough was Cassius' "The Sound of Violence". The track, in which he shares credits with the French duo, went to number one on Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 2002. [1] This was followed up in 2003 by "Falling Star", a minor club hit produced by Starchaser. In 2005 Steve Edwards' collaboration with Swedish producer Axwell brought him fame once again on a Latin-flavoured house hit "Watch The Sunrise". The track reached #3 on the UK Dance Singles Chart, as well as BBC Radio 1 Dance Chart.
In 2006, he returned to radioplay, after writing and providing vocals for Bob Sinclar's "World, Hold On". In this summer he also participated in Festivalbar 2006, an important music festival around the Italian squares.
