TrillestSince1987 Shares “OTW”
US producer TrillestSince87 (TS87) has returned with single “OTW” alongside rapper and frequent collaborator Connor Evans. Based in the Philadelphia area, TS87 has been building a name for himself as a producer since arriving on the scene a few years ago. Following the release of his first official single, “GET BUSY”, last year, he’s shared several follow-up singles and looks set to keep the momentum going and reach new heights with “OTW”.
With Connor’s smooth cadence and impressive lyrical abilities combined with TS87’s refined production, “OTW” makes for a fascinating listen. “OTW” is the title track from TS87 and Connor Evans’ collaborative EP. The track sets the tone perfectly for what listeners can expect on the rest of the project.
Speaking further on the new release, TS87 says, “The inspiration for the single and project was the ongoing journey of pursuing your purpose and goals. The song/project is a metaphor for how far Connor and I have both come along personally and in the creative worlds, the ups and downs, but there’s still work to be done to reach new levels, and we’re still making moves.” “OTW” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://li.sten.to/otwep.

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.
