    Production Part 2 with Steve Genewick and Maurice Patist!

    Production Part 2: Inside the Atmos Mix We’re going even deeper behind the scenes of 25 Years of Phatness! In Part 2 of our Production series, I got to sit down with immersive audio pioneers Steve Genewick and Maurice Patist to explore the incredible Dolby Atmos mix of the album. How do you take the massive sound of the Big Phat Band and turn it into a truly immersive listening experience? Steve and Maurice (along with Tommy Vicari) take us inside the process, the creative choices, and the technology that allowed Gordon’s music to surround you in a whole new way. Tech heads will LOVE this one—and even if you don’t know Atmos from Adam, you’ll hear this music differently after this episode.
