The 2012 - 2022 Decade Mix is finally here:    • Flight Facilities Decade Mix: 2012 - 2022 ...   --- --- --- --- --- --- The hardest part about starting these mixes was that a significant portion of them happened before we were even born. The 70s has been one of our most referenced decades, most likely due to our parents having played this music as we grew up. The most immediately obvious thing, while creating the 72-82 mix, was the lack of electronic production in the early parts of it. Drums sat lower in the mix, and there was no metronomic timing to them, leaving it all up to the feeling of the drummer. Musically, the decade felt incredibly unique, in that musicians were given record deals based more on talent than an image. It was the conception of sampling and hip-hop, with the Sugar Hill Gang’s ‘Rapper’s Delight’, and the earliest trace of electronic dance music, with Giorgio Moroder & Donna Summer’s ‘I Feel Love’. It also appeared to be a time of significant change, with impeachment, the ending of a war, and the mass revolt on disco, as a genre. Interestingly, 1972-1982 ended with a string of assassination attempts (and one success), on what represented the leaders of the 3 worlds we can’t escape. Politics, religion, and music (President Reagan, Pope John Paul II, John Lennon). We made an App! Introducing: Flight Deck. The home to over 10 years of Flight Facilities music & content.
