With rare behind-the-scenes footage, it chronicles their unprecedented rise to global stardom after performing on The Ed Sullivan Show to more than 73 million viewers! I was elated to speak with re-recording mixers (and longtime friends) Giles Martin and Josh Berger, both of whom are some of the most talented mixers I've been lucky enough to come in contact with. Their devotion to the art of sound, attention to detail, and just being all-around amazing people is revered. From Abbey Road Studios in London to Harbor Studios in New York City, these mix magicians—while an ocean apart—created a seamless soundtrack to this year's winner.
