Speaking of the 'You Got Together', Jaffna tell us: "We combined the influences of UK garage and French touch to create a song that is rich melodically with a driving rhythmic undertone. This is also the first time we have included our own vocals in a track!"
"Oslo" hits like a breath of fresh air, inviting listeners to follow its fluttering melody and driving percussion out of the club and into the region's whimsical fjords."- Dancing Astronaut
"'Immersion' and 'Waves' convey beautiful landscapes, with organic well-planned movements that take us through moody beginnings and scintillating instrumentals" - EARMILK
"In them, there is a real musical sensitivity, with rhythms straddling techno and 2 step, a bit like what
Bicep offers. Their single 'Rival' could be accused of flirting with a
Future Garage vibe, with that captivating bassline." - DJ Mag, France
"An ode to freedom on two wheels, this is what the last clip of the duo Jaffna has in store for us, accompanying "
Headlines", an electro-feverish track" - Beaux Arts
