Imagine taking a standard 120 Beats Per Minute dance beat and cranking the tempo knob until the individual kick drums stop sounding like music and start sounding like a high-pitched, angry lawnmower. That, in a nutshell, is Extratone—the absolute speed demon of extreme electronic music. By definition, Extratone tracks must hit a staggering threshold of at least 1,000 BPM, a speed where human ears can no longer process individual drum hits. Instead, the percussion blurs together to form a continuous, buzzy, humming tone (hence the name, derived from the German words extrahieren and ton for "extracted sound"). Early groundwork for this madness was accidentally laid in 1992 when Moby dropped "Thousand"—which briefly hit 1,015 BPM—but the genre truly mutated into a dedicated underground subgenre in the late 1990s through speedcore pioneers like Einrich 3600 BPM and underground labels experimenting with "Splittercore". Today, internet-native producers like Diabarha, Aoi Sakamoto, and Coakira keep the tradition alive, crafting tracks that push upwards of 10,000+ BPM to create a chaotic soundscape that sounds less like a night at the club and more like a dial-up modem having a dramatic breakdown.
