Near Death Experience (NDX)
Although wearing their love of the 60s and 70s boldly on their sleeves – from the Rolling Stones and the Doors to James Brown and Curtis Mayfield – with ‘Present’ NDX are very much following their own path, fusing soul, funk, rock and pop in their own unique way. Exploding into life with cool funky drumming ‘Present’ hits the ground running with a delicious saxophone motif, which you’ll be humming for weeks, and crunching wah wah guitar. Over the next three-and-a-half minutes the song never lets up, continuing NDX’s journey towards the groovier side of psychedelic soul. In an increasingly unstable world, the song’s main hook: "There's no time like the present" really resonates. From doing all the things you've ever dreamed, saving the planet, or simply telling someone you love them, there really is no time to lose! This is the song that can make the opening of a movie, or an advert instantly euphoric and memorable. Or imagine a scene where there's a critical race against time or a hectic car chase. 'Present' would be the perfect soundtrack. Or two people ripping each others clothes off in a crazy moment – this tune would emphasise and heighten the passion. Overall it's a good-time song that can deliver a truly feel-good atmosphere.

Near Death Experience (NDX)
SOUL by NDX is a thrilling, fun, infectious, rollercoaster ride, brimming with sassy '60s and '70s cool. The song opens with funky tribal beats and a soulful, gritty vocal delivering the recurring killer hook: "You can't take my soul away from me!", answered by a cool, catchy, jazzy saxophone motif. Sung with tongue firmly in cheek, this big, bold, playful soul/pop track with a driving rock undercurrent and soaring chorus will set any situation alight. The clever juxtaposition of contrasting hook-laden verse sections and the anthemic chorus give SOUL an exciting, energetic vibe that demands attention. It's perfect for an uptempo title sequence, fight or chase scenes in an action movie or TV show, and setting a fun, lively atmosphere in a shop or venue, or for an advertisement.

Near Death Experience (NDX)
The anthemic FLIGHT brims with soul, funk and a hint of psychedelia. It's lyrical theme is a chance encounter that's mysteriously and suddenly lost. Ecstasy and agony in quick succession. The full force of emotions pulling souls apart. Yet it’s an experience so visceral that you want it again and again. It has a broad cinematic quality featuring a harmony-laden chorus and funky verse. Catchy, uplifting and highly emotive, FLIGHT reaches a peak in its instrumental bridge where sax and guitar spar against a driving beat before the song drops suddenly as if taking a breath before one final push. Then it’s gone. Leaving you longing for more. Ideal when an emotional uplifting soundtrack is required, or a romantic, yearning theme. It's soul feel and funky beat also means it's great when a groove is need, such for driving or flying scenes, chases, etc. An instrumental version is also available.

Near Death Experience (NDX)
No one said life was going to be easy. And sometimes we all just need to give ourselves that extra KICK to get moving in the right direction – to help overcome the barriers to getting where we want to be and doing what we need to do. That’s what SHAKE is all about – reaching higher to make it through the nightmares to realise your dreams! Essentially, it's a love song to following your dreams. The theme and cool mid-tempo groove could soundtrack people pushing themselves to the limit at work or in the gym, for example. The romantic, lovelorn element also lends itself to scenes with people passionately yearning for each other, and even steamy love scenes themselves. Referencing being shaken to another place or another time, the song could also be used for scenarios involving travel, or people travelling to get to their loved one, even through time and space.

Near Death Experience (NDX)
This uptempo tune has a driving jazzy, funk/soul vibe and captures life in 4 minutes. The dark and light of the twin male/female vocal delivery perfectly reflects LIFELINE’s theme of how we all live on the edge, simultaneously on the brink of delirium and disaster. Walking the line between “wrong and right”, “fight or flight”, “beauty and sublime”, as the catchy verse reminds us. Balancing on “the high wire in the sky” as the singalong chorus chimes, which spring’s into life with a breathtaking key change. This makes the song the perfect theme tune for gritty dramas and action movies, sequences like car chases, as well as ads featuring general life scenarios and relationships. It's also groovy enough for dance scenes with real-life urban backdrops.

HausersA dark, groove-driven alt-rock track built around disillusionment and the quiet exhaustion of staying afloat. Low energy on the surface, but with an undercurrent of tension that never fully resolves. Sparse arrangement, E minor, and a vocal delivery that balances bitterness with something closer to resignation than anger. Raw and honest without being loud about it. Usage Recommendations: Scenes of quiet crisis, emotional burnout, or the specific fatigue of someone who has been holding it together for too long. Works well under moments of urban alienation, solitary reflection, or the aftermath of a decision that can't be undone. Suggested Usage Scenarios: FORMAT / MEDIA: TV drama, indie film, documentary, dark lifestyle content. VISUAL SCENARIOS: Someone sitting alone in a car outside a building, not getting out. A late-night city street seen from a window — lights, movement, but no connection. A person going through the motions of a routine that no longer means anything. A bar at closing time, last drink, nowhere to be. The walk home after something ended without a fight. EMOTIONAL THEMES: The exhaustion of surviving rather than living. Alienation in a world that moves too fast and asks too much. The dark humour of someone who sees through everything but keeps going anyway. Quiet rage that has nowhere to go. The moment before a decision, or the moment after — when everything is still but nothing is resolved. Dark. Tense. Raw. Sardonic. Restless.
