Secretsundaze are back with their first label release in 2023: the follow up to Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange’s 2021’s 'Kreuzberg Kix EP 1'. The team is very much present and correct with artist WAYNE SNOW once again joining the party on the deep house trip 'Take Your Time'. It comes complete with a stunning remix by Secretsundaze long time fave, NYC based producer and DJ Jenifa Mayanja, and the jazzy, up-tempo, instrumental 'Bleached'. 

Lead track 'Take Your Time' is a warm and atmospheric balm with a driving momentum for those transcendental dance floor moments, elevated to next levels by WAYNE SNOW’s distinctive vocal. Jenifa Mayanja’s classy remix keeps the spirit of the original intact and raises the energy with a tougher drum workout, added sparkle to the synths and stretched out for an epic ride. 'Bleached' is classic ZFEX material with a driving and jammy vibe with Ziggy's unique drum pattern, and bassline all front and centre.
 
Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, headed by drummer Ziggy Zeitgeist of 30/70, are well known for their storming live sets, capturing the energy of dance music across house and more broken vibes whilst retaining their strong jazz funk influence and musicianship levels. This EP was written by Ziggy Zeitgeist, Spirit of Sundaze Ensemble’s Lewis Moody, Mathew Hayes and Wayne Snow.

Kreuzberg Kix EP 1 garnered wide radio and club support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Floating Points, Hunee and Moxie amongst many others and we expect EP 2 will find fans in the same circles.

For the tenth edition of the Warning 12” series - Secretsundaze, now led by James Priestley, releasing his first work under the moniker as a solo venture and marking a new sonic direction for the project. On WAR1210 he delivers two original cuts residing on the A Side, with remixes on the flip.

The EP opens with ‘Doesn’t This Sun Feel Great’, a rising, percussive track that utilises disparate samples and twisted vocal manipulation for a fast paced, dancefloor orientated roller. Progressive in outlook, organic in nature, the track steadily builds throughout, culminating in a deserving, euphoric release. ‘The Real Sun’ takes the sensibilities of the opening track and leans on its raw, rolling percussive energy, keeping things highly functional and grooving.

The B side commences with Drua’s version of ‘Doesn’t This Sun Feel Great’. Drawing for a sonic palette quickly becoming synonymous with him, the remix twists and turns in a mesh of psychedelic progressive and hard hitting tech house. To wrap up proceedings Giraffi Dog delivers his captivating ‘700 Lakeside remix’ of ‘The Real Sun’, pushing boundaries with an inventive score that transforms the original track's energy.

PREMIERE: Secretsundaze - Doesn't This Sun Feel Great.. (Drua Remix)

All of a sudden there was daylight, a new dawn. It were as if his whole life had been a mystery and clouded in secrecy until now. Then all would be awakened, a new day would be born and with it would be glimmering bright, golden rays of angelic light from up above.

This was the real sun. Not that which had been promised but a reality from the greater heavens beyond.

Soon they would all dance beneath its triumphant glow, forgetting the dark days which had come before.

Warning offers a home for a new Secretsundaze EP, the longstanding label and project spearheaded now by James Priestley. The record marks a new direction with futuristic, progressive tech driven sounds at the forefront.
