notes
A wavetable saw-to-square morph lead cuts through the top of Get Out the Way, detuned and filtered to sit just above the vocal without masking it. Approximated from Dizzee Rascal's 2024 studio work: modern UK rap/grime production built around Xfer Serum wavetable leads and 808 sub bass, the standard toolkit for UK rap records of this period.
