MOVE 78 GRAINS

‘Grains’ is the title track from UK-German Jazz-Hip-Hop ensemble Move 78’s new album. It is a truly unique sonic world this collective exists within, with high-quality German jazz being warped and reimagined through the lens of UK hip-hop - freestyle jams from the German quartet are placed in the hands of British producer Aver, who mashes everything into an experimental blend of textures and tones. This title track is a bit of a statement, with luscious textures and relaxed, piano-led timbres at the forefront of its composition. “Making mistakes on purpose, embracing improvisation and working with people from different musical disciplines has created a new mixture of little patterns that cascade together in such a way that takes the album to places we couldn’t have planned,” explains Aver.
