Antarma releases ‘You are Loved’, a song to bring relief to mental and emotional grief

Published

Listen to the latest release from the musical phenomenon Antarma, ‘You Are Loved’’, calling on everyone to remember that “You are Loved” and “You are Enough”.

The song is a calming message for anyone’s journey that holds grief and pain; as Antarma explains, “It was written for a very dear family member who was going through a very tough time and feeling unloved.”

Thanks to her, it is now dedicated to everyone to be able to feel comfort and relief from this message “You are Loved and You are Enough” especially when going through difficulties and dark moments. 

When listening to the song, it is an opportunity for us to take the names of those we want to send love to – those who have passed on, those still with us, and ourselves as well.

In Antarma’s words, “You are Loved is dedicated to anyone going through tough times, struggling with mental health, emotional health, feeling suicidal, grieving the loss of loved ones and grieving any difficulties and traumas.  It is also dedicated to all our loved ones who are no longer with us physically so we can still say from our hearts that they are loved. Even if we may feel that we didn’t make them feel loved when they were with us, it’s a chance to send that love to them wherever they are now.  We also send love to the parts of ourselves, to our inner child, who feels unloved, unsupported and isolated.  You are loved and you are enough. If everyone truly felt loved then all the greed, corruption, abuse of people and the planet would not happen.”

The song was recorded in Chennai, India at Unique Studios.  Initial mix and engineering by Vykunth and Ramji Soma who works with the greats in Indian music and film including the legendary AR Rahman. Featuring Violin by Kumar Raghunathan. Final Mix and Mastering finished by Niraj Chag and Antarma.

Growing up in London, Antarma’s influences and collaborations are truly multicultural – from Ancient Sanskrit Mantras of the Sanatan Dharma Indian Tradition as well as the Amazonian, Sufi and African Brazilian Sacred Traditions. He took these teachings into his music, honed skills as a rapper and percussionist, then made his name busking on the London streets, immersing hundreds with a single drum and vocal.

Antarma took this same vibrancy into powerful events that fuse meditation, chanting, song and dance into a fully interactive journey, bringing audiences into deep connection and ecstatic joy – an experience to celebrate life’s ups and downs. Whether playing solo for thousands at festivals or intimate groups at retreats / events, his upbeat Djembe Drumming can make any crowd go wild and come together in joyful celebration!

Often you will find him dancing among the crowd and getting everyone involved. Antarma aims to be an instrument to spread joy and peace thanks to the Blessings of his Shri Guru Mata Vijnanamba Paramahamsa Parivrajika of Devipuram Sampradaya, Shree Maa and Swamiji of Devimandir, Mata Amritananda Mayi Amma, and Babaji Jaswansingh.

He offers a full spectrum of Deeply Relaxing Mantras Slokas, guided meditations and specially adapted English mantra translations, which make the meaning of the ancient slokas of Sanatan Dharma feel relevant to the minds and hearts of today.

All the music mantras and practices Antarma shares are intended to bring the highest and deepest Peace.

Honouring and giving Gratitude to the Sacred Traditions and for life Herself!

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks

Published

on

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:

“I just want to entertain people and make them a bit happier.”– Aaron King.

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.
