Nightmares On Wax

Nightmares on Wax is the stage name of George Herbert Evelyn, an English DJ and record producer from Leeds who has also worked under the alias DJ E.A.S.E. His music has been released by Warp Records, and he is based in Ibiza. Associated with styles including bleep techno, downtempo, electronica, and trip hop, Nightmares on Wax is closely linked to British electronic music that moves between club-focused production and more atmospheric, slower-tempo forms.

The Nightmares on Wax name began as a group rather than a solo project. It was originally formed by Evelyn with John Halnon, and later continued with Kevin Harper as part of the lineup. Over time, the act became identified primarily with Evelyn, who is the core figure behind the Nightmares on Wax and DJ E.A.S.E. names. Variations of the project’s name and credits have appeared in different forms, including abbreviations such as N.O.W. and NOW, alongside alternate spellings used in releases and listings.

Although Nightmares on Wax is often discussed as a Leeds-originated project, Evelyn’s later base in Ibiza reflects a broader geographic footprint than the group’s beginnings suggest. The project’s catalog has been issued through Warp Records, a label strongly associated with UK electronic music, and the Nightmares on Wax name has remained connected to that release history. In addition to the primary Nightmares on Wax identity, Evelyn’s credits also appear under his given name, George Evelyn, and related variants, reflecting the way electronic artists are frequently documented across multiple aliases and spellings.
