ZEITGEIST FREEDOM ENERGY EXCHANGE
www.linktr.ee/zfex
Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange is the meeting point of improvisation and dance music.
Headed up by drummer Ziggy Zeitgeist, a staple of the Australian music scene, most prominently touring and recording with Melbourne Nu-Soul/ future-jazz collective ‘30/70’.
Ziggy’s music has already been championed across the breadth of the jazz and dance world, with support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Kamaal Williams, Byron the Aquarius and Alexander Nut just to name a few.
Z*F*E*X is the synthesis of dance music in human form. A live band experience humanizing the extended DJ set. Heavily influenced by club culture and transcendent psychedelic expériences - Z*F*E*X is a continuous odyssey of sound, where synths intertwine with flutes, Jazz drums are played with the raw energy of classic broken beat records, and natures call and the response is mimicked in musical form.
