About this album

PHASE 46: Percussive Drones is a 14-song album from NEXT, released in 2021. It's electronic and drone music, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, sound effects and drums. The songs run 90 to 166 BPM, in keys like D minor, G minor and C 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 (drums, pulses and percussion) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
