Ghost Jr Is Bringing Pop Hooks and Techno Energy Together on New Single ‘2 phones’

Belgian producer and DJ Ghost Jr is back with ‘2 phones’, a high-energy electronic release that proves he’s not interested in sticking to just one sound. Out now via Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak Records, the track brings together catchy pop vocals, euphoric synths and driving techno beats, creating the kind of infectious crossover that feels just as at home on a packed dancefloor as it does blasting through your headphones.

At first, ‘2 phones’ lures you in with atmospheric arpeggios and polished, emotive vocals, giving the track an almost nostalgic, synthwave-inspired feel. But don’t get too comfortable. As the chorus kicks in, things take a much heavier turn, with pounding percussion and techno-driven energy taking over. It’s a clever combination of melodic songwriting and club-ready production, giving the track plenty of personality without losing its dancefloor appeal.

But there’s more to ‘2 phones’ than just big drops and infectious hooks. Beneath all that energy, the track explores something many of us can probably relate to: the feeling of constantly juggling too much, chasing the next big thing and trying to keep up with a world that never seems to switch off.

As Ghost Jr explains:

“2 Phones isn’t about me, it’s about a feeling a lot of people carry: that pressure of juggling more than you can hold, chasing something better while the world keeps ringing at you. I wanted to write it from the outside looking in, like a short film in a verse. The energy hits first. The story reveals itself after.”

It’s this mix of emotional storytelling and full-throttle electronic production that makes Ghost Jr an interesting name to keep an eye on. His sound takes inspiration from Eurodance, trance and techno, with influences ranging from Pegassi and Marlon Hoffstadt to Dimitri Vegas and Funk Tribu. Think nostalgic dancefloor energy with a fresh, contemporary edge.

And electronic music has practically been in his DNA from the start. Born in Brasschaat, Belgium, and now based in Valencia, Spain, Ghost Jr grew up surrounded by dance music thanks to his father, legendary Belgian DJ Ghost. Responsible for classics such as The Moon’s ‘Blow Up the Speakers’, Armani & Ghost’s ‘Airport’, Cherry Moon Trax’s ‘Needle Destruction’ and Q-ic & Ghost’s ‘Desire Go Higher’, his father’s influence undoubtedly helped spark an early fascination with electronic music.

Rather than simply following in his footsteps, however, Ghost Jr started experimenting with production in his bedroom, gradually taking his own sound from the studio to dancefloors across Europe. He’s since played some major stages, including Tomorrowland, Ostend Beach Festival and Fantasia Festival. One particularly special moment saw him join his father for a Tomorrowland Cherry Moon Legends set, bringing two generations of Belgian dance music together.

With over 300,000 streams already under his belt, Ghost Jr has also reached a significant milestone by joining the Dim Mak Records family. It’s a fitting home for an artist who enjoys pushing boundaries and bringing different electronic worlds together.

‘2 phones’ is another exciting addition to his growing catalogue, offering a glimpse of what’s to come ahead of an upcoming EP. Whether you’re into the melodic side of trance, the harder edge of techno or simply love a track with a seriously addictive hook, Ghost Jr has plenty to offer.

One thing’s for sure: you’ll probably want to turn this one up.

What happens when the pursuit of desire becomes more important than seeing the person behind it? Jason Scott & The High Heat explore that question in “How to Get Away with Murder,” a darkly satirical, cinematic music video that transforms a string of murders into a pointed commentary on modern dating culture, the illusion of intimacy and the consequences of mistaking access for connection.

As an investigation unfolds, one police officer finds himself drawn into a case that leads him to a woman hiding in plain sight — someone who understands exactly what her victims want and knows how to use it against them. Each encounter reveals the distance between desire and genuine connection, as the men pursuing her become so consumed by what they want that they fail to recognize the person in front of them. When the investigation ultimately turns back on the officer himself, the story challenges viewers to consider how well anyone can truly know another person when lust is doing all the looking.

Conceived by Jason Scott & The High Heat, “How to Get Away with Murder” pushes beyond the conventions of a traditional music video, using the tension and visual language of a thriller to examine the assumptions and blind spots that can shape modern relationships while also making a statement about domestic violence. Its mystery is as much psychological as it is criminal, confronting a culture where proximity can be mistaken for intimacy — and wanting someone can be confused with knowing them.

“I wrote the song well before the video ideas got tossed around. It’s a classic ‘did she, didn’t she, could she get away with it’ situation,” Scott offers. “Men are the worst, how much can one woman take, before she breaks? Maybe it’s a day dream, maybe there are bodies buried all along I40. Either way these losers might think twice if there were more acute consequences for bad behavior.”

Directed by Rahul Chakraborty, with creative direction by Ryan Magnani, the film brings the band’s original story to life through a performance-driven, narrative approach. Hailey Hart produced the project, with Easton Oliver serving as director of photography and Jordan Kinman leading production design. Dialogue was written by Shea Chakraborty, with costume design by Jessica Mayfield and visual effects, hair and makeup by Kadi Chase.

The cast includes Jeanette Sealy, Ben Hall, Jason Scott, Ryan Magnani, Tremaine Wade, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Mor, Kaylene Snarsky and Ashton Burn.

The song appears on the band’s September 18, 2026, Play Boy, their latest album for Leo33. Produced by Scott and Taylor Johnson, the 14-track collection finds Scott drawing on his spiritual upbringing and crisis of faith while examining love, human nature and the absurdities of American life through his signature blend of sharp-witted storytelling, country grit and rock-and-roll swagger. The record captures Scott fully embracing the band’s irreverent spirit while continuing to explore the experiences and contradictions that shape his songwriting.
