 I've heard quite a few 'detune 2 saws and add glide' but that is still not making it as sinister as this!

Cut everything under 100Hz and add some distortion for grit (just a tad is what you need here). you might want to play around with the octave settings on the oscillators just to make sure it's nice and thick, spectrum-wise.

There is definitely some distortion there as far as i can tell. Also band-pass filtering. And a bit of release on the amp envelope.
