Nightmares on Wax

Nightmares on Wax lands at Quarters, Brighton, on 6 June 2026 with his signature blend of soul, hip-hop and downtempo electronica. The long-running alias of Leeds musician George Evelyn, and a staple of the Warp catalogue, the project has spent decades refining warm grooves, deep basslines and head-nodding rhythms that drift between the club and the couch.

From early bleep and breakbeat roots to the smoked-out contours of Smokers Delight and the supple funk of Carboot Soul, his records trace a slow-motion line through trip-hop, dub, soul and leftfield house. In the booth, that history turns into fluid, unhurried selections: loose tempos, sample-led textures, vocals sliding in and out, and lifts that nudge the floor without breaking the spell.

For this evening session at Quarters he digs across the catalogue and beyond, linking late-night mood with a steady, body-moving pulse. Expect soulful selections, rich textures and a focus on feel, with a groove that holds the room from start to finish.
