I can't comment on Brian or DC, but I've gotten a sound approaching that sound when you get to at least 3 layers per part. A lot of it also comes out in cutting the mids and lower mids. Not just shelving things out willy nilly, but judicious notches in key frequencies seems to do the trick. Cuts down low and in the mids affect our perception of the highs without the overabundance of esses that you get when you boost the high end with an EQ shelf. When you boost with a high shelf EQ, you'll probably need to deess those vocal tracks.
