Nightmares On Wax Vinyl Records

Nightmares On Wax is one of the most enduring and distinctive names in downtempo and trip-hop. Founded in Leeds by producer George Evelyn, the project emerged in the early ’90s with a sound that blended hip-hop beats, warm soul samples, dub basslines, and laid-back electronic textures into something effortlessly immersive.

Over the years, Nightmares On Wax has built a reputation for music that feels both deeply chilled and richly musical. From the genre-defining grooves of Smokers Delight to the soulful, sun-soaked atmosphere of later releases, the project has consistently balanced head-nodding rhythms with lush instrumentation and mellow vibes.

With decades of influential releases and a catalog synonymous with late-night listening and downtempo culture, Nightmares On Wax remains a cornerstone of the scene. You can dive into the full Nightmares on Wax collection here.
