Timezone has been played on NTS in shows including The Bennett Show, featured first on 21 March 2025. Songs played include World Destruction.

Time Zone was a hip hop band headed by Afrika Bambaataa. Bambaataa worked with different musicians for each Time Zone project.

The first Time Zone single was the 1983 electro song The Wildstyle which featured music from a German project called Wunderwerke. Bambaataa was introduced to their music by Rusty Egan of Visage. The song became very popular among breakdancers at the time.

In 1984, Time Zone released their most well-known single, World Destruction. A collaboration between Bambaataa, Public Image Ltd. leader John Lydon, and producer/bassist Bill Laswell, this single is the first real rapcore song; predating Run-DMC and Aerosmith's Walk This Way. The single was arranged by Laswell after Lydon and Bambaataa had acknowledged respect for each others work.

The single also includes renowned musicians Bernie Worrell, Nicky Skopelitis & Aiyb Dieng, all of whom would later play on Public Image Ltd's album. Laswell also played bass and produced that album.

Although the song was critically acclaimed, Bambaataa put the Time Zone project on hold while he worked on other projects. In 1992, Bambaataa revived the project with the single Zulu War Chant which was well-received among fans of old school hip hop. Time Zone released a handful of singles in the early-1990s which were compiled in the 1992 album Thy Will B Funk. In 1995, the band released another album titled Warlocks and Witches, Computer Chips, Microchips and You. The album featured contributions from George Clinton and his P-Funk Horns.
