The Twelves interview

Στις 20/2 οι Twelves θα είναι στην Αθήνα (μαζί με τον Feadz) για πάρτυ. Ο João Miguel μας είπε τα εξής:

top10 tracks of 2008

I'd put the whole "In Rainbows" album from Radiohead if I could but: "MGMT - Electric Feel", "Hot Chip - Ready For the Floor", "Sebastian Tellier - Divine (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)", "Pacific! - Runway To Elsewhere", "Cut Copy - Lights and Music", "Black Kids - Hurricane Jane", "Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place" , "Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal", "Metronomy - Heartbreaker", "Of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit".

what are your plans for 2009? are there any single or album plans?

We have an EP release planned for later this year. Other than that we want to keep on remixing other bands and touring around the world as much as possible.

songs you are dying to remix

Any Radiohead track would be awesome to work on.

what kind of machinery do you prefer to use for your remixes?

It depends on the requested song really. It can be anything from live drums, guitar and bass to electronic drums and synths. We don't really have a preference, we just go with what fits better with the song and remix.

you've played with Justice, Diplo, LCD Soundsystem, etc. Did you get to meet them? Any funny stories?

We got to hang out with Diplo in Curitiba. He's a pretty cool, simple guy and he gave us some tips and stuff, which was really helpful. We met some of the other bands but everyone was so busy it was more of a "hey, nice show!" kind of thing. Nothing really exciting.... hehe.

tell me a few things about the party scene in Brazil. Best clubs, radio stations, blogs, etc.

If you come to Rio de Janeiro, you should go to this club in Ipanema called "Lounge 69". I think we've played there like 5 times already and it's our favorite place to play and go out. In São Paulo there's this place called "Vegas" and other called "Glória" which are pretty cool to attend.

name some new artists from Brazil we should google

Little Joy, Los Hermanos, Database, Cansei de Ser Sexy and, if you are into the "baile funk" thing, Bonde do Rolê.

what should we be waiting to see from you in Athens? And what do you expect to see happening here?

The tourist landmarks like the Parthenon, Acropolis, the beaches, etc. What do I expect to happen? I just want to make people dancing and having a good time.
