notes
A single resonant saw run hot into a near-self-oscillating filter gives the track's bright, chattering staccato riff its character, closer to a filter-tone lead than a conventional oscillator sound, consistent with the duo's long preference for pushing analogue filters hard. The short slap delay doubles the pattern's rhythm without smearing the pitch.
