Their debut album is released via Melting Pot Music, featuring a unique blend of hip-hop, Krautrock, tropicalia, spiritual jazz and ambient music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwit One has been shaping the Cologne beat and hip-hop scene for more than 15 years as a DJ, producer, radio host and co-manager of the Groove Attack record store. For Twit, hip-hop is less of a genre and more of an attitude and cultural practice deeply rooted in African-American music history. With The Twit 1, II, Three, he brings his sonic vision into a band context for the first time. He is joined by the classically trained musician Maxime von Koblinski on the vibraphone and Niklas Schneider from the Cologne Kraut-pop band Keshavara on drums. Twit acts as the musical director, provides samples and concepts while occasionally playing the bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2024, The Twit 1, II, Three self-released a C20 cassette tape limited to 100 copies and performed at venues and festivals such as Week-End Festival (Cologne), Soundball Festival (Cologne), Philharmonie (Essen), Schleuse 2 (Düsseldorf), Aktionshaus (Berlin), De Duivel (Amsterdam). Following these shows, the band spent a year and a half working on their debut album at Satori Studio in Cologne-Müngersdorf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA conventional description would be ‘Twit One fully produced with real instruments’. A more poetic one would be ‘Sun Ra and J Dilla on their way to Jupiter, with a stopover in Montreux’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight out of the ten tracks are instrumental. Guest vocals are provided by two long-time musical friends who also release music via MPM: Reginald Omas Mamode IV and Turt (Summers Sons).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtwork by Jeremias Diekmann and Robert Winter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melting Pot Music","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":54841513836867,"sku":"RPT-33548","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/UNK_20260926_1052_103501_838_v_0673793336719_060.jpg?v=1790433637","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/the-twit-1-ii-three-the-twit-1-ii-three","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
