Berlin
is
famous
for
being
the
techno
capital,
but
in
recent
years
the
scene
has
been
developing
in
more
eclectic
directions
as
new
sub
genres
are
growing
and
new
clubs
and
scenes
are
building.
It's
becoming
the
place
to
go
for
all
kinds
of
new
musicians
in
jazz,
psychedelic
and
other
music
scenes.
Berlin-based

all
these
new
phenomenas.

-
it
is
now
time
for
jazz
ravers
Zeitgeist
Freedom
Energy
Exchange
to
take
the
centre
stage.
The
band
around
Melbourne
born
drummer
and
producer
Ziggy
Zeitgeist
has
been
based
in
London
for
some
time
before
moving
to
Berlin
a
few
years
ago.
By
now
Ziggy
and
his
crew
have
a
big
following
in
Berlin
where
the
new
jazz
and
soul-influenced
dance
scene
is
growing
rapidly
with
many
new
spaces,
clubs
and
radio
stations.
Their
recent
album
'Prayer
For
Peace'
was
album
of
the
week
on
Gilles

Zeitgeist
Freedom
Energy
Exchange
is
a
collective
that
bring
together
UK
jazz
funk
vibes
that
have
been
made
popular
by
Kamaal
Williams,
Shabaka
Hutchings
and
Ezra
Collective
amongst
others
with
the
energy
of
Berlin's
electronic
DJ
music.
In
fact,
head
of
the
collective
Ziggy
Zeitgeist
is
a
big
fan
of
DJ
tools
which
equally
have
a
big
influence
on
his
music.
His
aim
is
to
create
a
mix
of
jazz
and
tribalistic,
electronic
energies
to
create
jazz
raves
that
reflect
a
fresh
modern
touch
of
what
could
be
a
sound
for
the
next
years.
Of
course
many
elements
of
their
songs
come
from
the
1970ies
-
the
chord
progressions,
the
fusion
keyboard
solos,
the
driving
rhythms.
But
the
general
sound
of
the
music
and
its
straight
electrifying
energy
create
a
new
and
unique
futuristic
sound.
'Sci-Fi
Jazz
Directions'
was
recorded
by
the
original
trio
of
Ziggy
Zeitgeist,
Matthew
Hayes
and
Lewis
Moody.
After
spending
thousands
of
hours
together
making
music
on
stage
and
in
the
woodshed,
this
album
represents
a
turning
point
for
the
group
and
quite
possibly
the
very
nature
of
creative
collaboration.
This
is
an
album
of
tunes
crafted
over
'online
jam
sessions',
as
the
trio
were
split
between
three
corners
of
the
world
during
2020.
Ziggy
explains:
"Our
blessing
and
our
curse
is
that
we're
adaptive
creatures,
we
find
a
way,
we
adapt
to
the
circumstance,
and
so
as
artists
and
as
improvisers
we
found
ways
to
connect
and
create
in
a
virtual
space."
The
trio
continue
to
hone
their
unique
brand
of
dance-floor
focused
'jazzrave'.
They
are
mainly
live
musicians
and
they
love
to
play
at
parties.
They've
been
playing
underground
dance
jam
in
abandoned
basements
of
London,
Berlin,
and
Melbourne
for
years.
This
album
epitomises
the
Zeitgeist
of
the
time,
the
crucial
meeting
point
of
our
organic
selves
with
our
technology.
