Twit One is a producer and DJ from Cologne, Germany. Asked what he would describe his sound like he would say Cool Bap. A cool instrumental version of Boom Bap he’s been doing for 20 years +
Growing up in Bottrop, a gloomy town best known for coalmining he started to play bass in Punk- and Skabands before he discovered the art of beatmaking in a garden shack of a friend from school. After moving to Cologne he and his friends pooled some money to buy a MPC 2000 XL and he never stopped to make beats from then on. At first he recorded the beats to tape and didn’t release anything, before he got the offer to release his stuff on Melting Pot Music in 2009. The Hi-Hat Club Vol.1 alongside Hulk Hodn is considered a cornerstone of the European Beat scene and has opened doors for a lot of producers to follow.
Over the years he has released numerous solo projects and collaborations with Count Bass D, Henry Wu, Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon, Retrogott (as 4Trackboy & Echomann), Hulk Hodn (as Testiculo Y Uno) & Lazy Jones (as Flatpocket).
Twit has also been doing the radioshow Radio Love Love for 15 years now and runs the Groove Attack Recordstore with his homie Uwe. He is a sweet soul music ultra but as a DJ also plays Jazz, Hip-Hop and related genres.
His latest adventure is his trio – The Twit 1,II,Three – consisting of Twit on the machines, Maxime von Koblinski on vibes and Niklas Schneider on Drums.
