About this album
PHASE 39 Pulses : Scary is a 16-song album from NEXT, released in 2021. It's film score and electronic, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, sound effects and pulse. The songs run 87 to 164 BPM, in keys like D minor, Bb minor and Eb 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 stems (drones, percussion and piano) 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.
