Adrian Sherwood e Nightmares On Wax

Evelyn is known for delving into a number of genres with his music and is never afraid to try something completely bizarre. Although starting off with hip hop as their main genre, Evelyn (with the help of former partner Kevin Harper) began to expand their audience with the incorporation of many different elements, from more dance-esque music to the introduction of live musicians to create tunes with a jazz vibe, evident in the 2006 album “In A Space Outta Sound”.

In his extended career of over 20 years, Evelyn has produced 11 albums/LPs, most of which have made an impact in both the UK and the U.S. Earlier releases such as “Smokers Delight” and “Carboot Soul” achieved popularity in Britain, charting at #84 and #71 respectively. However, it was the album “Mind Elevation”, released in September 2002, that saw him reach his highest position in the charts at #47.

Evelyn's music could be categorized into many different genres due to the amount of different instruments and elements each one uses. Although not known for possessing a stereotypical club sound, Evelyn has been performing for many years at Las Dalias, one of Ibiza's most famous nightclubs. During his set “Wax Da Jam” (evolving from his “Wax Da Beach” parties that were held on San Antonio Bay) he promotes his relaxed and feel good vibe to the party goers. Nightmares On Wax said himself that “Everyone turns up as individuals but everybody leaves as one”.

Nightmares on Wax has been associated with some of the biggest names in music, including De La Soul and Roots Manuva, and regularly performs with live musicians whilst on set. His most latest album is entitled “N.O.W Is The Time”, released to commemorate his career (which has now spanned a quarter of a century) and the fact he is the longest serving artist at Warp Records.
