Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.

From the opening notes, A Night To Remember immerses listeners in an electrifying atmosphere. Its high-energy house vibe is a testament to Ari Martin’s ability to create music that speaks to the soul of the dance floor. The song builds with precision, layering rhythmically compelling synths and driving basslines that beckon listeners to lose themselves in the moment.
This track isn’t just about beats per minute—it’s about intention. Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Ari Martin shares, “I wanted to create something that could be the soundtrack for celebrations—those moments when you’re surrounded by friends, dancing, and just feeling alive. This song is meant to capture that pure energy.”
What makes this release even more compelling is Ari Martin’s story. A producer who has honed his craft since a young age, Martin draws inspiration from a diverse range of musical influences, from Motown’s soulful harmonies to Earth, Wind & Fire’s infectious grooves. Reflecting on his journey, Martin explains, “I grew up in a house filled with music, and it’s always been a huge part of my life. With this track, I’m blending the energy I felt in those early days with the pulse of today’s dance music scene.”
The Visualizer: A Feast for the Senses
The newly released visualizer for A Night To Remember takes the song’s celebratory spirit to dazzling heights. Featuring a kaleidoscope of neon lights, pulsating shapes, and vibrant party-themed imagery, the visualizer is designed to draw viewers into the heart of the music.
Ari Martin collaborated with a team of graphic designers and animators to bring this vision to life. “We wanted the visualizer to feel like a living, breathing party,” Martin says. “Every beat, every drop, is matched with visuals that explode with energy and rhythm. It’s like the song and the visuals are having their own dance-off.”
One standout moment in the visualizer is its synchronized light show, which mirrors the track’s breakdowns and build-ups. The use of vibrant colors—like electric blue, fiery orange, and magenta—creates a hypnotic effect that keeps viewers captivated. “I wanted people to feel like they were at a club, even if they’re just watching on their phone,” Martin explains.
The production process wasn’t without its challenges. Martin shares, “We spent hours tweaking the visuals to make sure they aligned perfectly with the beats. It was a meticulous process, but seeing the final product, it was absolutely worth it.”
Final Verdict:
With A Night To Remember, Ari Martin has delivered a high-octane, joy-infused anthem that resonates both musically and visually. The track’s infectious energy and heartfelt intention, paired with the mesmerizing visualizer, ensure that no one will be standing still.
