Naakz & Babyzoot – Three Headed Taniwha
Three Headed Taniwha is the debut collaborative E.P by Naakz & Babyzoot.
“We don’t align with the government; NACTNZ is actively harming Māori through policy and decisions. Creativity in Māori music spaces. Ko te auahatanga te mea nui! I titohia ēnei waiata, kia whakahou ai ngā momo waiata Māori! Ahakoa te reo rua, he Māori te kaupapa, te whakaaro, me te ngākau hoki. (Musical creativity is our focus! These songs were written to introduce new styles of Māori music. Despite it being bilingual, the topics, thoughts and heart of the project are Māori.)”
Created by Naakz & Babyzoot, Mastered by Tim Banks

Cecilia’s Crop – Milky Way
Milky Way is an emotional ballad by Cecilia’s Crop.
“Milky Way is about the natural movement between the passion, fear, and vulnerability that is falling in love. It’s hot, it’s heavy, it’s a little bit sexy, and it’s all about the infinite, complicated nature of love. How it pulls us up, throws us around, and lays us back down again with a kiss on the forehead.”
Written and performed by Cecilia’s Crop. Recording, producing, mixing, mastering, backing vocals and additional guitar elements by Tim Banks. Available now on all major music streaming services.

Tim Banks – Unravelling
This composition communicates the unravelling of time and space through a unconventional combination of Piano, Synth, Cavaquinho, Drums and experimental production methods. Feel the piece become progressively darker and more chaotic as the tempo and pitch descend throughout. Award winning composer Grayson Gilmour described Unravelling as “A detailed and considered composition” and “an engaging listen”.
