Rising Artist cmfrt. Drops Phenomenal New Track “Gangsta Party”
cmfrt. is once again captivating audiences with his sensational new single, “Gangsta Party”, a collaboration that showcases his artistry alongside the undeniable talent of fellow artist Dareios. Hailing from the vibrant city of St. Louis, Missouri, cmfrt. has established himself as a beacon of innovation within the local music scene. His unique style, characterised by vibrant sounds and intricate sampling, resonates with listeners from all walks of life. After the resounding success of previous single “Facelift”, a collaboration with Jaheem and St. Louis compatriot Jay Coast, cmfrt. is set to continue his rise and reach new heights with latest release “Gangsta Party”.
“Gangsta Party” is a magnetic blend of hip-hop and R&B, infusing both genres with a fresh energy that is impossible to resist. The synergy between cmfrt.’s co-production skills and Dareios’s exceptional rap prowess results in a track that is smooth and refreshing. The single captures a mood that is perfect for those cruising with the windows down, enveloping listeners in a chilled and laid-back atmosphere.
cmfrt., reflecting on the creative process behind “Gangsta Party”, says, “After the success of me and Dareios’ single ‘Life Jacket’ we continue collaborating on instrumentals to come up with another single. I found and chopped the sample for ‘Gangsta Party’, and Dareios provided the drums and vocals. Fun fact: the song was recorded the same day we recorded my 2022 single ‘Facelift’.”
“Gangsta Party” carries a deeper message beneath its irresistible beats and hooks. For cmfrt., the song represents a celebration of liberation and the willingness to embrace life’s uncertainties. “It means to let go. To be formless and go with the flow of life. To step out of your comfort zone and do things you aren’t used to. Go to places you wouldn’t, meet people you didn’t think you could even if for a moment, and to use those moments to shape you into something greater”, he explains.
As “Gangsta Party” sweeps onto the scene, listeners can expect to embark on a musical journey that embodies the essence of cmfrt.’s artistic evolution. With his innovative soundscapes and heartfelt lyrical themes, cmfrt. continues to carve his own path in the industry, setting the stage for a huge future ahead.

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.
