Description: Dive into Rue Boyer with Tony Hoffer, who recreates Phoenix’s “Everything Is Everything” from the ground up. In this episode, Hoffer recreates his original Sunset Sound mix in its entirety, demonstrating how balance, saturation, unexpected inspirations, and deliberately applied lo-fi textures shape the band’s signature sound.
The track was originally created after the band arrived in Los Angeles with their ideas from Versailles fully formed; it combines live drums with borrowed samples and lo-fi textures. Chopped acoustic guitars processed as samples and vocal tones transformed into synth sounds add a unique sonic character to the composition. Starting with an empty session, Hoffer rebuilds the mix, first creating a stereo bus, then balancing drums, bass, and guitars into a dense, cohesive atmosphere, equal parts dance and rock.
The sound is achieved not through heavy processing, but through Hoffer’s deliberate color choices. Subtle saturation, reduced bit depth, stereo field widening, and subtle compression on multiple buses give the song its individuality. In the end, the new mix closely mirrors the original, demonstrating that the sonic character is the result of an accumulation of decisions, not a single piece of equipment.
