Characteristics
The typical speedcore track is characterized by a general anti-music and anti-establishment sentiment. The music is angry, aggressive, and often attempts to foster an atmosphere of hostility for the listener. Speedcore DJs push the boundaries of electronic dance music and often use offensive themes in their music to create such extremes. Not to be confused with antidisestablishmentarianism. ...

While most speedcore artists are content to attack the normal standards of music, or even the gabber music that spawned them, the extremism of speedcore has caused some to turn inwards and parody the standards of the genre. Much like how happy hardcore relates to gabber and hardcore techno, these songs utilize samples of lighter and more manic themes. Happy hardcore is a form of dance music typified by a very fast tempo (usually around 165-180 BPM), often coupled with male or female vocals, and saccharine lyrics. ...

Aside from the very fast tempo of speedcore, which rarely drops below 240 BPM, speedcore can often be distinguished from other forms of hardcore techno by an aggressive and overridden electronic percussion track that is often punctuated with hyperactive snare or tom-tom fills. The Roland TR-909 is often the drum machine of choice for speedcore producers due to its ability to generate heavily distorted bass-drum kicks that anchor the percussion tracks. Most producers will often overdrive their kicks so much that they become square waves, giving Speedcore it's distinctive pounding sound. <nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here<nowiki>Insert non-formatted text here</nowiki></nowiki></nowiki></nowiki></nowiki> This article is about electronic music. ...

As with many other forms of techno, synthesizers are also heavily used, often producing heavily distorted and/or disharmonic melodies to complement the underlying drums. Although any analog or hybrid synth can be used, the analog/digital hybrid Roland Juno-106 is a common favorite with speedcore artists. Pure digital synthesizers are comparatively rare in speedcore. The term synthesiser is also used to mean frequency synthesiser, an electronic system found in communications. ...

History The first authentic speedcore artist or ensemble appears to be Disciples of Annihilation (D.O.A.), which was formed in New York City in 1993 by Sal Mineo, Nick Marchetti and Carl Carinci. One year later, the trio began releasing material on Industrial Strength Records, including the "Industrial Power 9D4" single. After playing several shows in hardcore techno's homebase of Scotland, D.O.A. signed a deal with UK record label Earache. The group's debut album, New York City Speedcore, appeared in early 1997. Marchetti died that same year, resulting in the demise of D.O.A. Carinci began work on his own Nukom project, while Mineo collaborated with other speedcore artists. Earache Records is a heavy metal-orientated record label based in Nottingham, UK and New York, USA. It helped to pioneer extreme music by releasing many of the earliest grindcore and death metal records, in the period 1988-1992. ...
