About this album

PHASE 18: Crime is a 21-song album from NEXT, released in 2019. It's electronic and drone music, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, sound effects and bass. The songs run 90 to 160 BPM, in keys like C minor, D minor and E minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with an instrumental, stems (drones, piano and pulses) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
