The Twit 1, II, Three are a band from Cologne, consisting of producer Twit One, vibraphonist Maxime von Koblinski, and drummer Niklas Schneider (from kraut-pop band Keshavara ). 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-owner 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. In 2024, The Twit 1, II, Three self-released a C20 cassette tape limited to 100 copies and performed at Week-End Fest (Cologne), Philharmonie Essen (Essen), Schleuse 2 (Düsseldorf), Aktionshaus (Berlin) and De Duivel (Amsterdam). Following these shows, the band started working on their debut album at Satori Studio in Köln-Müngersdorf. The self-titled album will be released in October 2026 on Melting Pot Music. It breaks down musical barriers, with hip-hop, krautrock, tropicalia, spiritual jazz, and ambient forming its core pillars. 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).
