Mastered by Corey Kikos
Straight out of Melbourne, Ryan Berkeley takes on jazz-house group Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchanges self-titled album (originally released in 2018 through Wax Museum Records) and flips Nikita into a hypnotic deep house roller in typical Berkeley fashion.
Starting off with swirling pads and raw 909 drums the remix takes you into cruise control all the way to the bridge, which tips its hat to the original ZFEX sound and melodies building up and up with flutes and synths taking you to a climactic finish.
On Zeitgeist Freedom EnergyExchange:
Ziggy Zeitgeist has become a staple of the Australian Music scene. Touring and recording with Melbourne Nu-Soul/ future-jazz collective, ‘30/70’ has enabled Zeitgeist to forge new frontiers in improvisation and drum-set application. Zeitgeist has stepped up to the role of bandleader in the debut self-titled album Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange.
The vision of this project was to create a live band experience that is closely aligned with an extended DJ set, heavily influenced by club culture and transformative festivals where people seek a more transcendent experience- a continuous odyssey, sound and groove with the spirit of live improvisa- tion. The main influences for this project include house, broken beat, and a good dose of 70’s jazz-funk in order to create a unique and cosmic pocket.
