"Extraction" Soundtrack Lyrics

"Extraction (Music from the Netflix Film)" Soundtrack Description

Overview

How do you score a film that never stops moving? Extraction answers with an unbroken current of low-end pulses, processed percussion, and terse motifs. Composers Henry Jackman and Alex Belcher build a muscular hybrid bed—electronics fused with orchestra—that pushes Tyler Rake from club abduction to bridge standoff without letting the heart rate drop.

The licensed songs lean local—Bollywood staples and South Asian hip-hop threaded into diegetic spaces—so the needle-drops place us (club speakers, apartment radios, car stereos) while the score keeps the pressure on. Trusted source: Apple Music lists the album as a 20-track digital release dated April 24, 2020 (℗ Netflix Music, LLC). Trusted source: Film Music Reporter announced the soundtrack’s digital release window and BMG’s role in issuing the album.

Notes & Trivia

• Run time: the score album plays just over 68 minutes across 20 cues.
• The film title changed twice in development (“Dhaka” → “Out of the Fire” → Extraction).
• Trailer cut used alt-J; the film leans on South Asian repertoire in-scene.
• Music supervisors: Manish Raval and Tom Wolfe (diegetic song placements).
• Trusted source: Vague Visages supplies minute marks for key needle-drops; Soundtracki consolidates additional on-screen songs and the trailer cue.

Genres & Themes

Hybrid action score (electronic + orchestra): sub-bass swells = dread; tight percussion grids = forward motion; brief string pads = rare breathers.

Diegetic South Asian cuts: Bollywood classics and regional hip-hop source music to anchor locale, class, and crowd energy.

Trailer-style alt-indie (marketing only): alt-J’s remix sets expectation—icy momentum—without appearing on the retail score.

Tracks & Scenes

Timestamps are approximate (feature cut); diegetic = heard in-world.

“No See” — Man.Goes Human
Where it plays: ~00:04:00, inside The Public nightclub; diegetic club system.
Why it matters: Establishes the Dhaka nightlife texture just before Ovi is targeted and the plot snaps tight.

“Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare” — Mika Singh, Tulsi Kumar
Where it plays: ~00:38:00, apartment sweep during the mid-film chase; heard from a neighbor’s unit; diegetic.
Why it matters: A cheerful classic collides with panic in the hallway—a tonal clash the film uses for irony.

“Mere Gully Mein” — DIVINE feat. Naezy
Where it plays: ~00:52:00, Saju arrives at a hostel; source playback.
Why it matters: A ground-level Mumbai anthem under a character in extremis; place and mood in one drop.

“Cypher Bangla 2K16” — IRFU feat. Dorpon Rvs, Somrat Sij, Punkstah, Vxl, Nizam Rabby & Golam
Where it plays: ~01:00:00, in-car while Gaspar drives; diegetic stereo.

“No Boundaries” — Black Zang & Dee MC

Where it plays: Apartment interiors during the on-the-run sequence; diegetic fragments between floors.

“Ek Ladki Ko Dekha” — Kumar Sanu
Where it plays: Briefly heard as Tyler and Ovi push through flats (late first hour); diegetic.
Why it matters: Another classic drifting from a TV/radio, heightening the contrast with the score’s cold urgency.

TRAILER — “In Cold Blood (Baauer Remix)” — alt-J
Where it plays: Official trailer only; not in-film.
Why it matters: A slick, metronomic energy cue that branded the campaign.

Score moments (album cues):
“Car Chase” — compressed rhythm engine for the early getaway; “Bridge Battle” — the finale’s pounding architecture; “Dhaka Suite” — long-form mood that threads anxiety through cityscapes.

Music–Story Links

• Place vs. pursuit: diegetic Bollywood and regional rap humanize the apartments, markets, and cars that the chase rips through; the non-diegetic score erases safety.
• Character POV: Gaspar’s car cue (“Cypher Bangla 2K16”) signals local comfort and control before choices turn dark.
• Irony in motion: light, familiar hits (“Ankhiyon…”, “Didi Tera…”) run under a lethal corridor sprint—violence framed by everyday sound.

How It Was Made

Jackman and Belcher (fresh off 21 Bridges) split duties across thematic cells and action architecture, favoring processed percussion, sub-bass, and terse motifs that can survive long, kinetic takes. Music supervision (Manish Raval, Tom Wolfe) leans into Bangla/Hindi hits and regional hip-hop for diegetic color. Trusted source: Filmtracks and Movie Wave reviews describe the album’s tone and structure from a craft perspective.
