Aaron Koenig’s New Single “Death” Turns Mortality into a Funky Celebration
Who says death has to be a downer? Musician and spiritual artist Aaron Koenig is here to flip the script with his latest single, “Death”. This funky, guitar-driven rap takes the ultimate topic and transforms it into an empowering, groove-filled anthem, showing us that death isn’t the end—it’s just the next step on your hero’s journey.
With a catchy hook that goes, “This is not the end, death can be your friend”, Aaron’s take on death comes straight from his Buddhist practice and the Tibetan Book of the Dead. He’s all about shaking off the fear and embracing the idea that life keeps on going—just in a different outfit.
Musically, “Death” is a certified bop, built on punchy beats, slick synth bass, and funky guitar riffs that’ll make you want to move. It’s the perfect track for anyone who loves their music with meaning and a killer groove.
And the music video? A visual feast inspired by Mexico’s lively Day of the Dead celebrations. Aaron dons skull face paint (courtesy of Swedish artist Filippa Levemark) and dances through a post-production world filled with vibrant Mexican imagery. It’s a joyful, colorful tribute to life and death that’ll have you celebrating both.
Ready to dance with death? Hit play, and prepare to see the afterlife in a whole new light.

British alt-R&B and UK rap dynamo Léks Rivers is back, and he’s pulling no punches with his electrifying new EP, Pulp Noir, out now! This three-track stunner is a manifesto of freedom, truth, and unapologetic self-expression.
Blending R&B with an experimental hip-hop twist, Pulp Noir is steeped in the bold energy of artists like Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and Michael Jackson, but Léks isn’t content to imitate. Instead, he serves up his signature mix of grime, Afroswing, and opulent hip-hop, creating a soundscape that’s purely his own. Pulp Noir is a sonic rush, an invitation to shake off the mundane and dive into the thrill of being yourself.
Each track on Pulp Noir is like a page from a handbook of self-liberation, with one golden rule: you have to jump in with both feet! “I wanted this EP to be an instruction manual on love with one step—you have to go through it,” Léks explains. The EP brims with youthful energy, playful wit, and a fearless spirit that urges listeners to be bold and live for the moment. As Léks puts it, “What you seek is in the place you’re most scared to go!”
With its infectious rhythms, edgy beats, and heart-stopping hooks, Pulp Noir will have you dancing and thinking, and maybe even daring yourself to be a little more honest.
