The Twelves have premiered a new mixtape via Rob Da Bank's show last night and it's just beyond... Much better than the Episode I and II. In fact, it shows how much this Brazilian two-some have improved in the past few months after touring USA and Europe. Because I have to say, although I love these boys, I still thought that they needed some more dancefloor feeling - and I think they found it in the disco sound.
So The Dø, Metronomy, Pnau, Daft Punk, Radiohead, Sebastián Tellier, Empire of the Sun, Air, Siriusmo, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Mr. Oizo, Pnau, Chemical Brothers, Tiga, Cut Copy and many more are mixed in a way that Ableton live wouldn't be able to do by itself. Doing such needs a more accurate technique and we asked Luciano from The Twelves how difficult it was to get The Twelfth Hour done.
"This was harder than we thought at first, we don't stick with one track for long and a lot of the tracks are layered with extra vocals/basslines/drums, so it turned out to be a monster. It looks very much like our live sets of late, going for slower jams but trying to keep a solid beat all through it. We've thrown in some unreleased stuff, like the Pacific and Terry Poison tracks, and made some weird semi-improvised versions of others. Of course there had to be a Radiohead in there somewhere, so we put one in that we normally don't have the guts to play live."
