notes
A wavetable saw-to-square morph lead cuts through the top of Switch and Explode, 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.
