The Hits You Love. Reimagined. Rebuilt

Huge bangers, flipped by fresh Aotearoa talent

Beyond The Beat is where iconic tracks meet bold reinvention.

In this five-part music series, the next-gen sound of Aotearoa takes centre stage as rising artists reimagine beloved songs through a completely new lens. Each week, a legendary hitmaker is paired with a breakout talent who flips their track into an entirely different genreβ€”guided by visionary producer Mazbou Q.

This ain’t your average music show. It’s a sonic uprisingβ€”equal parts homage and fearless creativity.

Behind the Beat

At its core, Beyond the Beat exists to amplify the voices of Aotearoa’s musical talent.

Our mission is to create a dynamic, culturally rich platform that reflects the true diversity of New Zealand’s music sceneβ€”celebrating the creativity, resilience, and originality of our artists.

In an industry where noise is constant and opportunity is rare, Beyond the Beat offers space for authentic expression and meaningful connection. By pairing emerging artists with iconic local hits, we provide a powerful stage for collaboration, reinvention, and storytellingβ€”showcasing the unique perspectives and talents that define our creative landscape.

Driven by kaupapa Māori values and a deep belief that our artists are taonga, we are committed to nurturing the future of Aotearoa music. Beyond the Beat isn't just a seriesβ€”it’s a movement.

One that champions artistic innovation, uplifts underrepresented voices, and builds lasting bridges between generations of musicians, all while connecting with audiences in fresh, accessible, and engaging ways.
