The tale goes that George Herbert Evelyn spent $5 on a battered speaker box he named ‘Echo45,’ a speaker that changed the course of his life, and thus Nightmares on Wax was born… On this upcoming album, he pays homage to that speaker with a mixtape blending soul, roots, hip-hop, dub, and electronica as his original Echo45 Sound System did, not only reflecting the origins of Nightmares on Wax, but determinedly announcing future destinations too. Shout outs to Aotearoa’s own Ladi6, who features on “Holding On” (undoubtedly going to be a clear highlight)! - Flying Out
Growing up in the sound system culture of Leeds in England, George spent a fiver, courtesy of his mum, on a battered old speaker box he named “Echo45”. That box led him to Kevin Harper, a founding member of Nightmares on Wax, a chance meeting that would change the course of his life.
With the latest music “Echo45 Sound System”, Nightmares On Wax takes that lineage a step further—a mixtape that feels like both a celebration and a declaration. It's a living, sound system journey inspired by the original “Echo45” speaker box that merges soul, roots, hip-hop, dub, and electronic textures with a fearless spirit.
Featuring a carefully curated ensemble of collaborators—including Yasiin Bey, Greentea Peng, Sadie Walker, Liam Bailey, and more—the record doesn’t just reflect where Nightmares on Wax has been. While deeply rooted in his origins, sound system culture, and pirate radio, it boldly announces where he’s going.
