ZIPS GALORE is an ambitious body of work designed to push the boundaries of sound across Oceania. Dually recorded in Auckland and Sydney, the project lives at the intersection of culture and innovation. Where familiar influences are reimagined through the lens of emerging diasporic voices.
Genre-bending is often used to describe the members of the ZIPS (+++!) Collective. A group consisting of rappers Church & AP, RNZO, Deadforest, and in-house producer/engineer Dera Meelan. Together, they collide dance and grime tempos with hip-hop in all its forms, carving out a lane that is unmistakably their own.
