effects
short plate on the kit, bass kept dry and tight, doubled by real bass guitar an octave up in places, drive
notes
A single squared-off oscillator with a fast-closing filter pluck, the classic funk synth-bass gesture doubling or replacing the bass guitar note for note. Pave Maijanen was a working keyboardist before going solo, so the disco-funk hit of his first solo album era leans on exactly this kind of monosynth pumping under the four-on-the-floor groove rather than anything orchestral.
