We’ve been digging Flight Facilities regular production, but we weren’t prepared when we were shown this gem.  This is an hour of flawless, continuous mixing of hits from 1972-1982, woven with historical quotes, that is amazingly danceable. It’s about as throwback of a mix as you can get!

You can read about how they came up with this series (yes, there’s a mix for every decade after until 2012) here.  Enjoy

Got an idea for next week’s mix? Let us know in the comments!
