Nightmares On Wax

Nightmares on Wax is the stage name of George Evelyn, an enduring British-born, Ibiza-based DJ and producer who’s helped to shape trip-hop and chill-out over the course of his decades-long career.

• Evelyn started Nightmares on Wax in 1988 as a DJ-based rave act with John Halnon, and then with Kevin Harper, inspired by hip-hop and b-boy culture.

They released their first single, “Dextrous,” in 1989, and reached the Top 40 of the UK charts with their second, 1990’s “Aftermath.” • Halnon and Harper left after the group released a full-length debut, A Word of Science: The First and Final Chapter, in 1991.
