Olly Alexander, Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Turkmen are the boys that make up YEARS & YEARS, and together they create a sweet sound of soulful electronic pop.
To say the least, the trio had a brilliant 2014, impressing with track after track, so much so that they recently took out the title for BBC Music Sound of 2015.
Clearly securing themselves as ones to watch, it's no wonder that other producers are looking to put their own spin on YEARS & YEARS. The latest to do so, Manchester DJ and producer TCTS (aka Sam O’Neill). Following the recent release of his original track 'Coupe De Ville', TCTS brings us a unique interpretation of YEARS & YEARS' 'King'.
Finding it difficult to believe that this track could get anymore dance-floor appropriate, TCTS has clearly proved me wrong. Originally full of fresh, shining synths, TCTS has kept true to his style, transforming the track into one that oozes house vibes and somewhat futuristic feels. Full of pulsing beats, this track keeps the original YEARS & YEARS vocals, however are chopped and looped throughout.
I'm predicting this as a track to be played on dance floors for a long time to come. The YEARS & YEARS original track is set for official release on March 1st, through Polydor Records.
