notes
A monophonic synth-bass line drives the groove under the new wave funk arrangement, its filter opening in short punchy hits that lock to the drum-machine pattern. Sourced from the 1980-81 Dirty Mind/Controversy era rig (Oberheim OB-Xa and Oberheim Four-Voice, Roland Jupiter-4); the tone sits low and tight, with a fast decay that leaves room for the kick.
