"Vir 2 – I like their stuff a lot, Electri6ity is a great one. That shows up on The Mechanic quite a bit. I really love the guitar samples from them. We have a ton of Zero-G synthesisers – all of those little menus of sounds and there’s always something to throw in [laughs] and make things interesting. "
