Last month, British musician George Evelyn, a.k.a. Nightmares on Wax, shared a treasure trove of mixtapes that he recorded in his mom's living room between 1986-1997, and it's clear he's still feeling the nostalgic glow. Today, he announced a new EP inspired by his early clubbing days.

The record, titled Ground Floor, will be released November 25 via Warp Records. "I wanted to take things back to the basic club elements I was brought up on and how I started out as a DJ and a dancer," Evelyn said in a press release. "I've spent the best part of two years on the road, and most of them back in my element as a DJ in nightclubs, so this record was inspired by me going back to my late-night house music roots."

Alongside the news, he has also shared one of Ground Floor's tracks, "World Inside," a collaboration with British soul artist Andrew Ashong, which Evelyn said happened over the course of a week after Ashong played the opening party of his Wax Da Jam residency in Ibiza. Other tracks, he added, are odes to the "soul funk all-dayers" he attended in England, and to the Amnesia Ibiza balcony.

Following the EP's release, Nightmares on Wax will embark on a North American tour. Going from December 7-17, he's hitting cities including Denver, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Chicago, and others.
