Flight Facilities Decade Mix: 1982 - 1992

The second instalment of our mixes for triple j Mix Up Exclusives. Taking you chronologically from 1982 - 1992.
Just like the 72-82 mix, there are plenty of Easter eggs to be found. Some more obvious than others. Get hunting…
The 2012 - 2022 Decade Mix is finally here: • Flight Facilities Deca...
--- --- --- --- --- ---
The 80’s was a decade of real positivity. It showed in the colours, the musical experimentation, and the general economic growth. It was a major step into the new world, with the tearing down of the Berlin wall, signalling the death of communism in Eastern Europe.
Lots of musicians cite the Yamaha DX-7 synth, and the introduction of MIDI in 1983, as the destruction of music in the 80s, saying that it made the music sound thin, and too similar between different artists. This may well have been true for the latter parts of the decade, but we found that the wealth of music between 1982 and 1984 was almost too much, and we had to exclude many songs we loved. We think this is due to the introduction of newer electronic synths, and there being a magical time of experimentation between the old and the new.
Dance music and raves really took a foothold as the 90’s grew nearer, and we found that consistency in memorable albums began to fade, leading to early signs of a ‘singles’ and ‘one-hit-wonder’ based industry. This was when we were born.

Dancing around the living room, Christmas morning 2020. THIS is the soundtrack for the day. Thanks legends.

[@littleragu265]

Xmas 2021 on the way bitch. Get that livin room ready.

[@user-rk5vb4xu8u]

My first thought for next year 72 to 02 mega mix. Saves me spending half my day pondering on tunes to keep people dancing from all ages 😛

[@oliviacarr4472]

Never gets old. Simply the best. Have so many memories attached to this mix alone

[@Permuh]

Flight Facilities cant get enough credit for making these decades mixes. Wish they would do another decades mix playlist!

[@shaunphill]

They showed us a sneak peak of the 60s decade mix, and as for the 10s - we've gotta wait 2 more years!

[@urstin]

I drywalled an entire bedroom listening to this and I felt like I was having the time of my life. And I hate doing drywall! Great mix!!!

[@dukekrallis6727]

One helluva mix !! Thanks for taking me 40 decades back...didn't even need the DeLorean!! awesome laid back compilation of songs that sparked happy moments in my life growing up. What am I doin right now u ask?..I'm chillin with a glass of Jack Daniels on ice, log fire burning and the Bose hi performance surround sound is pumping out these Mad Tunez!! Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@dillonp7175]

This is fucking genius. Perfect for an 80s/90s themed evening

[@rinkejansen1]

Gek op deze mix. Heerlijk omdat ik zelf uit 1980 kom en dit een geweldige tijd symboliseert voor mij .

[@aminehatim5413]

28:19 ---> 28:33 must be the smoothest transition I've ever heard

[@Dom_Meribel]

only 7 months for the 2012 to 2022 version. Cant wait for our version of Nam' and such! Love FF so much

[@multaminte]

How about a mix for 2012-2022 guys? This should be the year for it!

[@CRCinAU]

Why doesn't this have more views - this kinda thing is just the ultimate bop. Awesome stuff.

[@AoyosEhllo]

Im 36. This mix starts with songs I know but couldn't place a time cuz I would have been like 2(ish). Then slowly songs start and im like HELL YEH!! Memories start to flood back! Crazy, tiny, exact little details I had not thought about in 20 odd years at least! A little me kicking about playing, being a kid! :D A more innocent time indeed lol. By the end of this im hooked and on to next decade. A more ambiguous time :P then next, innocence truly lost... I fucking laughed so much. I cried buckets! Fully locked into a very therapeutic memory fest! The BEST fucking compilation of mixes I have heard in ages! I HIGHLY recommend!

[@davepower8831]

[@Tyranthraxus]

Heard this at a climbing gym today and was loving every bit of it, what a great mix. I only wished it had Depeche Mode Enjoy the Silence in there just because it's another personal fave but awesome.

[@olivergoldsmith7691]

Masterful. Absolutely masterful.

[@traviswinn]

Awesome mix... Don't, don't you want me!!!

Paul Simon - featuring across decades! Woo! Can't wait for his pumping tune 'Señorita with a Necklace of Tears' in the next mix.

[@degust8r]

[@janecaldas1051]

I wish there were more decades just so Flight Facilities could do more Decade Mixes!

[@flightfacilities]

We did a 1962-1972 mix, but KZbin strikes it when we try to uplaod it. It's on our app if you want to hear it though.

[@CRCinAU]

I have all of these anthologies on my iPod and I listened to them nonstop for almost two years when they were first released. Did Stevie wonder still give you crap for 1970-1980? lol

[@katienewman4171]

Why would he have? Superstition came out in 1972. Which is is the first year of that mix.
