From Dada Life's What's In Your Bag: "We go through these, like, a few pairs every month more or less... this is the Sennheiser HD 25. We love them, you can just crank them so much, they don't distort - it's the best!"
"NEXUS is the only usable sample-based synth on the market! In the beginning of a track, 'We Do Have A Plan' on how it should sound - so Nexus is perfect for those big time moments when you're in the zone and just want to have fun fun fun and not spending ours tweaking sounds. I vote Yes for this one!" - Stefan
