Their debut album is released via Melting Pot Music, featuring a unique blend of hip-hop, Krautrock, tropicalia, spiritual jazz and ambient music.\u003cbr\u003e Twit 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\u003cbr\u003esonic 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.\u003cbr\u003e In 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.\u003cbr\u003e A 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’.\u003cbr\u003e Eight 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).\u003cbr\u003e Artwork by Jeremias Diekmann and Robert Winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eDer Weichmacher\u003cbr\u003eFocafi\u003cbr\u003eLove \u0026amp; Mercy (feat.
