This story originally appeared on InStyle.com.

Anyone who grew up in the ’70s will attest that it was the golden age of music. So it makes sense that Baz Luhrmann’s highly anticipated Netflix debut, The Get Down, set in New York City toward the end of the decade (aka the rise of hip-hop and the last days of disco), would pay proper tribute to its sonic genius. The soundtrack, released on iTunes today in conjunction with the show’s drop date, features music by the show’s triple-threat cast, including Shameik Moore and Herizen Guardiola, plus exclusive songs from the likes of Zayn, Christina Aguilera and Leon Bridges, to name just a few. Grab your dancing shoes and check out the full tracklist below.
