Second Stoned Immaculate release from Nick Harris

Out now on Beatport, three more straight up house cuts from Nick Harris, on the second Stoned Immaculate release. Following on from the “Dispatches” EP which earned glowing reviews in Mixmag, Resident Advisor and DJ Magazine, Harris sticks to the script with simple, deep and banging club cuts.

'In The Flowers' balances a sweet loopy disco vibe with a hard, slammin beat, clearly inspired by the sounds of classic labels Cajual, Relief etc. Holding up the EP is the piano driven title track, 'Hallucinations', whilst sandwiched in the middle is the cheeky 'Bucket Bong', the origins of which need little introduction!
