notes
A FM 2-op synth bass carries the low end, low-pass filtered at 24 dB/oct, cutoff around 6129 Hz with modest resonance, sitting mono and tight against the drum machine to anchor the track. Fits the glossier Stephen Hague-adjacent Crush/Pacific Age era of FM and wavetable synths over Simmons-style drums.
