Legendary Warp act Nightmares On Wax is set to release a new album this autumn, five years after the last long-player Thought So...
Nightmares On Wax, an alias of Brit producer George Evelyn, is synonymous with the funky, trippy fusion of acid-house, ambient and hip-hop; a tradition that loosely continues with new record Feelin’ Good. Catalysed by Evelyn’s care-free Ibizan life of the past seven years (living on a farm, and hosting parties in San Antonio), Feelin’ Good promises leftfield variety but a greater focus on live dub and jazz arrangements. Guests include singers Katy Gray, Moses and former M People conga don Shovell.
Nightmare On Wax’s discography is a long and impressive one, launching in 1989 with single Dextrous (his Warp debut) before progressing to impactful albums - all through Warp - A Word Of Science (1991), Smokers Delight (1995), Carboot Soul (1999, featuring Ibiza chillout classic Les Nuits), Mind Elevation (2002), In A Space Outta Sound (2006) and, of course, Thought So... (2008).
Feelin’ Good is released on September 17, again via Warp.
Nightmares on Wax plays The Tower for Defected Monday 29th July
