A gated, sidechain-pumped sub-and-saw bass driving "Filthy Acid", tight low end with a short pluck-open filter envelope on every note. Built on Paul van Dyk's 2020s Vandit-era production rig (Xfer Serum 2, Vital, Spectrasonics Omnisphere, TB-303-style acid boxes (Behringer TD-3 / Twisted Electrons)). Bonus-disc acid-techno track; TB-303-style acid bass line.
