Not the all producers and DJs of our era are definable as real artists. Those one who actually deserved to be defined in this way are able to stay relevant in the music realm, not only by building a clear and coherent brand symbol of their creative approach but also by straying from the path achieving new experimental forms.
George Evelyn, better known as Nightmares on Wax, is exactly one of the living example of what we like to define artist.
The granddaddy of the Warp family and the long-running Leeds producer, Nightmares on Wax has passed through an interesting and intricate musical evolution, from the early techno soul, to the hip-hop sounds to the classic funk tunes, delivering also peculiar oneiric and outlandish productions. In the middle of this creative evolution, this artist released five albums and founded his label WAX ON Records.
From the early 90s, Nightmares on Wax has consistently offered good quality tunes but also real masterpiece such as the famous “Les Nuits”. Overall, we should say that the sound of this artist is relaxed, characterized by a “smoky” look, yet closely intertwined with the impulsive tradition of the back music.
Now has come the time for this artist to spread to the world his new studio work, Shape the Future, that came out the passed 26th of January. An album that has seen the collaboration of many different artists such as Jordan Rakei, Mozez or Sadie Walker. This is probably the most strongest and most cohesive album of Nightmares on Wax, even if it is difficult to precisely categorize it. No adaptation to the common trends, no willingness to emulate old canons. This album is a mixture of genres, a set of mellow thought-provoking songs clearly united by an artistic vein.
The new album of the english guy George Evelyn will resonate in March in Barcelona at the Apolo and in Madrid at the Caracol as part of the promotional tour of his new studio work. The artist is collecting sold outs after sold outs therefore stop loafing around and buy your tickets.
