Move 78 – In The Age Of Data (Limited Edition Black Vinyl w/ Obi strip)
Move 78’s new album, “In The Age Of Data”, is an expansive, intricately detailed and often psychedelic exploration of the intersection of jazz, hip-hop, and experimental audio collage. The Berlin-based collective’s fifth full-length release in five years distorts and reimagines their signature sound into a 37-minute dreamlike sequence of live improvisation, granular synthesis, and layered composition.
Inspired by Christoph Grünberger’s book about embracing algorithms in Art & Design, the album explores how technology can expand creativity rather than diminish it. This theme runs throughout, from the opening suite "Dusty But Digital"—featuring a collage of over 75 voices, including MF DOOM and Joan Mitchell—to the swirling vocals of Monica Mussungo on the title track, set against heavy mechanised sub-bass.
