Nightmares On Wax is the influential musical project of George Evelyn, also known as DJ E.A.S.E., hailing from Leeds, United Kingdom. Renowned for his pioneering role in the development of the trip-hop genre, Evelyn's Nightmares On Wax began as a b-boy crew in the 1980s and evolved into an influential electronica act by the early 1990s. The project's debut album, "A Word of Science: The First and Final Chapter," was released in 1991 and established Nightmares On Wax's presence on the eclectic electronic music scene.

Over the decades, Nightmares On Wax became synonymous with a laid-back, eclectic blend of hip-hop beats, soulful grooves, and ambient electronic music, creating a richly textured sonic palette that is both relaxing and thought-provoking. Evelyn's innovative approach to music has led to several critically acclaimed releases, such as "Smokers Delight" and "Carboot Soul," which solidified his status as a chill-out music maestro. His discography is a testament to his ability to seamlessly fuse a variety of genres, from funk and soul to reggae and jazz, forming an unmistakable and enduring sound. The latest releases, such as "CLUB E.A.S.E." series and "Shout Out! To Freedom… (Live at Pikes Ibiza)," continue to showcase Nightmares On Wax's adaptability and relevance in the evolving landscape of electronic music.
