About this album
PHASE 24: Southern Drones is a 13-song album from NEXT, released in 2020. It's electronic and drone music, dark, mysterious and determined, built on drones, synth and bass. The songs run 87 to 126 BPM, in keys like D minor, E minor and Bb minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and spaghetti western. Every song comes with stems (pulses, rhythm and drones) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
Every track is cleared and licensed through ITGM, with the rights handled for you. See how it works on our music licensing page, or search the full catalog by mood, reference track or video at /music.
