Biography

Move 78 is a Berlin-based band whose music emanates from the intersection of free-flowing improvised jazz, chopped and twisted through a UK hip-hop lens. The band name is inspired by a famous Go match (an ancient Chinese board game) between Lee Sedol, the world champion of Go at the time, and a computer program named AlphaGo. Having been destroyed in the first three games of the five-game match by his AI-powered opponent, Sedol stunned spectators and commentators by adapting and playing a move so strange that it completely baffled AlphaGo and its algorithms, leading the program to scramble for historical data to make sense of it. The move - which represented Sedol's human response adapting to meet the challenges of an ever-evolving technological world - was move 78. Since 2021, Move 78 have released three studio albums: The Algorithm Smiles Upon You, Automated Improvisation and Grains. All have received national radio play in Germany, UK, France, Japan and USA, widespread play on internet stations such as Worldwide FM, NTS and NPR, as well as editorial playlisting on Spotify and Apple Music, with all their releases combined having received over 15 million streams.
