notes
A deep, booming sub bass gives the record its titular low end, built to sit in the same territory as a classic 808 drum-machine kick/bass tone even though the drums themselves are likely sampled or programmed separately. This is a plausible reconstruction; no documented session is known. Keep the decay long and the tone very low.
