Looking for electronic music with a stadium-pop flavour? Songs that’ll make your legs quiver with the need to move, and make you want to belt out the lyrics at the same time? Then you want to check out Years & Years. You might have already heard their radio-dominating hit “King” on the airwaves, but their debut LP Communion is packed with so much more – from the toe-tapping, frenetic “Desire” to the more tender offerings like “Eyes Shut”.

Pulling it all together is frontman Olly Alexander’s expressive falsetto, which proves a winning combination when backed with Emre Turkman and Michael Goldsworthy’s sick, sick beats.

My feel-good beat. It’s the track I’ve been putting on #replay while planning and working through my e-mails and photo edits.

“Dear Future Husband” is the track I put on when I’m rushing to get ready at home for a night out. It keeps my mood up and gets me dancing to the beat. Good vibes!

My boyfriend and I love chilling while listening to Gentle Bones. He introduced this artist to me last year. I’m a fan of supporting the local music scene while creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere at home.
