REFORMED SOCIETY:
Reformed Society is a project run by Harsh Puri. Deejaying for over 20 years and having a relentless appetite for digging records has allowed him to delve into music of all kinds from different corners of the world. This naturally led to the creation of a more club focused night Play at The Waiting Room and a more eclectic night Downplay at Brilliant Corners both of which he has been running for 3 years. Harsh is in the constant process of creating new music with several vinyl releases under his belt spanning music from Ambient to Deep House, Detroit Techno and beyond.
