Watch: Flight Facilities Decade Mix: 2012 - 2022

Aussie duo return with the highly anticipated next entry of their legendary Decade Mixes and it was more than worth the wait

"78 songs used.
60 news and culture snippets.
240 audio tracks in the session.
1 catastrophic computer crash."

- Flight Facilities, July 2023

Returning with the fifth edition of their fabled Decade Mixes are Flight Facilities who have painstakingly captured the decade of 2012 to 2022 in music and sound byte form, resulting in the hour of euphoric nostalgia that is Decade Mix: 2012 - 2022.

Cramming ten years of the biggest tunes and most important news and cultural moments is no mean feat but the guys have done it again, with expert blends that breathe new life into modern classics from a deep and diverse list of artists ranging from Daft Punk, Disclosure and Tiga to Lorde, Benee and Billie Eilish; Bonobo, Bicep and DJ Koze to Mac Miller, Chance The Rapper and Childish Gambino - and of course Flight Facilities alongside the likes of PNAU and The Presets. That’s just scratching the surface...

As usual, the mix comes alongside a bespoke visualiser that matches footage from events to sound bytes, interspersed with snippets from music videos and all manner of video collages, with a focus of course on dancing.

Speaking on their latest masterpiece, one half of FF Hugo Gruzman says:

It was a decade best summed up by podcasts, cancel culture, fake news and memeing our way through tragedy and triumph. But was 2012-2022 any crazier than eras past, or was it that the prevalence of social media put major international events on our digital doorsteps? A Hollywood star becoming the leader of the free world? Bizarre… but it wasn’t the first time.

Obscure global events just felt more tangible than ever, and we were all finally able to have our say. Communication with pop stars and major companies was instantaneous, and stardom was diluted by the ability for strangers to become a viral sensation overnight. With the advance of accessible technology came the explosion of bedroom producers like Flume, who would dictate the direction and popularity of an entire genre.

At a glance, many could argue it was the death of originality in pop culture, with covers, remixes, sequels, prequels and remakes dominating the mainstream. The recent emergence of AI will either give those creative minds the resources to forge a new path into 2032, or accelerate us into repetition.
