Scotland and France have long had a shared alliance, primarily as a means of ganging up on the English.
Now, though, it's more about a shared sense of being European, a cultural exchange that has found its root in club nights, and new production teams.
JeanGa and George sit neatly in this lineage: one is French, the other Scottish, and together they sculpt 'European Repetitive Beats'.
Ably borrowing from house and techno, the pair gleefully pilfer from dance culture before re-shaping those influences to suit their own nefarious ends.
The duo's debut album is out this Friday (January 20th) via Greco-Roman, and to celebrate we've asked them to craft the first Clash DJ Mix of 2017.
The pair don't disappoint. JeanGa and George deliver a mix that is in turns subtle and deeply physical, a real sense of balance born from years spent behind a mixer.
It's fun, too - from those quirky re-edits, right up until their own closing cut 'The Gates Of Dawn'.
Tune in now.
