Years & Years - Desire Remixes

Review by Luís Pedro Algarvio

Desire Remixes by Years & Years: A Synth-Pop Fiesta That’ll Make You Want to Dance (and Maybe Cry a Little) Alright, let’s talk about Desire Remixes by Years & Years. Released in 2015 under Polydor and Interscope Records, this little gem straddles the line between Electronic and Pop like it’s walking a tightrope at 3 a.m. The genres are House and Synth-pop, which is just fancy talk for “music that makes your feet move before your brain catches up.” It dropped in Finland and the US, because apparently those two countries needed something vibey to unite them. Spoiler alert: they succeeded. Now, onto the tracks. There’s no way I can cover all of them without sounding like a grocery list, so let’s zoom in on two standout remixes: “Desire (Tourist Dub Mix)” and “Desire (Rainer + Grimm Remix).” First up, the Tourist Dub Mix. Oh man, this one hits hard. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you’re wandering through a neon-lit city at midnight while also questioning all your life choices, this is your jam. Tourist takes the original track and flips it into something moody yet danceable—a vibe so smooth it feels illegal. The bassline slinks around like it owns the place, while Olly Alexander’s vocals float above like whispers from another dimension. It’s haunting but groovy, kinda like seeing an ex at a club and realizing they look better than you remember. Ouch. Then there’s the Rainer + Grimm Remix, which is basically what happens when someone says, “Let’s turn ‘Desire’ into a bouncy fever dream.” This version amps up the tempo and adds layers of synths that sound like they were stolen straight outta the ‘80s arcade soundtrack vault. It’s impossible not to bob your head to this one—it’s playful and addictive, like eating too much candy and feeling zero regrets. Plus, the drop? Chef’s kiss. It’s the kind of track that could make even your grumpy uncle get up and shuffle awkwardly. The rest of the album keeps the energy alive with remixes by Zac Samuel and the OG version of “Desire,” but honestly, those two tracks alone are worth the price of admission. They show off how versatile the source material is—like taking a plain donut and turning it into either a decadent chocolate-glazed masterpiece or a sprinkle-covered sugar bomb. Both delicious; both unforgettable. So yeah, Desire Remixes might not reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a celebration of sound, style, and late-night vibes. And isn’t that what good music should do? Take you somewhere else—even if it’s just your living room pretending to be a rave. Final thought: Listening to this album feels like finding a glittery sock after a wild party—you didn’t know you needed it, but now you can’t imagine life without it.
