One Night With... Nightmares On Wax

Nightmares On Wax (All Night Long)

Anyone who has been to Chapeltown in Leeds for the West Indian Carnival in August will comment on two things: the quality and range of the music and the effortlessly chilled out vibe.

It makes sense that these two aspects define one of Chapeltown’s most lauded exports: George Evelyn aka Nightmares on Wax.

Having made techno and rave tunes on Warp Records in the late-eighties, Evelyn returned in the mid-nineties to pioneer a move towards chill with the iconic Smokers’ Delight album.

These days, his DJ sets tap into these soothing sounds, but still have the ability to work a dance floor up into a tripped-out frenzy, re-planting his roots in soul and disco music into house-y ground with his selections.

Come and see a Leeds legend doing his thing in his home town.
