PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Grains is the third studio album from Berlin-based jazz/hip-hop fusion band Move 78, released on Village Live Records. Building on the momentum of their critically acclaimed records The Algorithm Smiles Upon You and Automated Improvisation, the group return with their boldest and most immersive project yet.
Move 78 continue to expand their distinctive sound, blending live, improvised jazz with meticulous, sample-driven hip-hop production - an evolving musical language that has earned the band a dedicated global following.
Recorded during a series of free-flowing jam sessions at Trixx Studios in Berlin, the album’s eight tracks were later reworked, deconstructed, and rebuilt over 18 months. The result is a 32-minute journey through experimental jazz, textured grooves, and forward-thinking beat-craft.
The core lineup - Doron Segal (synths), Nir Sabag (drums), Hal Strewe (bass), Meravi Goldman (French horn), and Aver (sampler/production) - is joined by an outstanding cast of guest musicians:
-
Aquiles Navarro (Irreversible Entanglements) – trumpet
-
A.J. Nilles (Berlin Philharmonic) – viola
-
Eric Owusu (Àbáse / Jembaa Groove) – percussion
-
Douniah (Melting Pot Music) – vocals
Grains is essential listening for fans of experimental jazz, instrumental hip-hop, and boundary-pushing production.
