Today, I’m delighted to be joined by Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange (ZFEX), a group of jazz and house music lovers who have been creating music together since 2017. With members from Melbourne, Berlin, and London, their unique sound bridges genres like afrobeat, bossa nova, and electro, amongst others. They are a band of ravers who read and write music, DJ, produce, and most importantly, dance. Their music is a progressive gathering for moving, loving, and creating. Let’s get to know them better.
The band formed in 2017. These musicians connected through a mutual love of jazz and house music. Soon after bridging many styles such as afrobeat, bossa nova, broken beat, electro to name a few.
We have several branches : Melbourne, Berlin, London. There are many artists across these cities that collaborate with us on many levels among those are: Lewis Moody, Mathew Hayes, Javier Fredes, Eric Owusu, Szabolcs Bognar, Roman Klobe Baranga, Oli Savill, Aduni Geldes, Finn Rees, Erica Tucceri.
The band formed in Naarm (Melbourne) ‘so called Australia’ is now based between Berlin and London.
No! We are rave trained. We all read and write music, DJ, and produce, know how to handle substances and most importantly know how to dance.
Energy Exchange is a progressive gathering for moving, loving, and creating.
Night Cat, Naarm. It was terrible we sucked so bad come to think of it I don’t know how we ever got booked again.
I hope we have improved. lols. Naturally, the music has expanded from more improvised primitive techno sounds to more arranged and focused grooves drawing more from specific music movements, much like a DJ would consider their set as a kind of journey through styles, movements, or eras in music.
We feel blessed every day to do what we do and how fortunate we are to have the gift of music. We thank the higher spirits for bringing us together.
Yes, we work with vocalists sometimes, but we like to keep the focus instrumental it’s more dynamic and better for the dancefloor. We have worked with : Wayne Snow, Dreamcast Moe, Allysha Joy, Jitwam, Rara Zulu to name just a few.
Yea, that was a really beautiful festival we were there last year it was amazing. Probably some my greatest moments were playing warehouse rave parties organised by friends. we were free to express ourselves and not working within the limited frameworks of venues/ industry /capitalism.
Hmmm depends on the vibe of the night. At the moment anywhere between 30-60 % I would say. It’s been a long process finding the perfect balance of composed and improvised material.
We give praise to the higher spirits that bring us together. We breath together, we hype each other, we laugh, we joke, most of all were here to have fun.
They both balance each other and we need both aspects. It’s not a choice for us, they both complement each other, and to be honest, we are equally comfortable in both settings. We just love making music together.
That was the first record with the Berlin band. We worked with a local label that had a link up there. GET TOGETHER and of course we were all long-time fans of Jazzanova. So, it was a nice match .
Yea, no doubt they were a critical point in the movement bringing acid jazz and breakbeats to a new generation .
Yea of course they’re legends. We just released a track with them. Gassed!
Film Kunst bar on a Tuesday is a nice session, also regular venues like Badehaus, Urban Spree, Arkaoda, and Loophole.
Yea cheers, it’s been ok I guess but we don’t really care. By the time the label gets to finally releasing we’ve already been working on a bunch of other new records that are way more interesting, so we kind of stop following at that point.
Na.. I’ve known the guys for years bunch of legends. James Priestly came down to a show of ours in London in 2019 and introduced himself afterwards. Later that night they took us out to the Horse Meat Disco, a legendary queer disco night in the city.
It’s Kruezberg Kix vol. 2. It’s kind of a two-sided EP, the A-side is a straight soulful house burner. The B-side is some kind of jazz-rave psychedelia. It’s kind of different but you know that’s life isn’t it ?
Probably the people making the best music right now, you or me have never heard of.. Think about that for a minute!
We’re focusing on setting up our label, Energy Exchange Records where we can take more creative risks and control our own assets.
All good. Thanks for the support and checking out the music.
It’s been fascinating to talk to Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange about their music, journey, and the power of live performances. From their early days of terrible gigs to their current eclectic and improvisational sets, this band is a joy to watch live. Whether you catch them in a warehouse rave or at a music festival, their energy is contagious. We can’t wait to see where their journey takes them next. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out their latest EP, Kreuzberg Kix EP 2, and catch them at one of their upcoming gigs.
