Two stories from very important yet very different parts of my life. This time blending pop influences with f***** up club aesthetics and movie like melodrama, focusing on story telling and the thin line between contradictory emotions.

After the warm reception of its first VA release, Phosphor is back with a new chapter: darker, more mysterious, and with a solid line-up of artists. The A-side sets the tone with two club-focused tracks made to move the floor, while the B-side drifts into a more hypnotic and introspective territory.The record opens with “Satisfaction”, a club-driven cut marking Jesse Maas’ first appearance on Phosphor. Heavy basslines, crisp percussion and a vocal hook give it a strong presence on the dancefloor.Next up, “Unlimited” sees the label’s founders, Blue Vision, reaffirming their style: melancholic yet groovy, nostalgic yet forward-looking. Deep electro wrapped in lush synths and a powerful low end, it’s a track that continues to shape their identity. On the B-side, Light Blue File steps in with “Consciousness”, a hypnotic journey marked by his signature production. Rolling basslines and intricate breakbeat drums build a tense, immersive energy.The VA concludes with B.AI delivering a spacious, emotional piece. Floating textures, drifting pads and a subtle pulse create a deep and introspective finale.

Featuring the unique sound of Oward, "MR.B009" is packed with hypnotic beats, deep basslines, and intricate synths, keeping the dancefloor buzzing. This high-energy track blends smooth grooves with subtle, unexpected twists, making it a must-have for any minimal tech house lover. A perfect balance of precision and unpredictability, delivering both fun and intensity in every beat.
