With a legacy spanning over three decades, George Evelyn—better known as Nightmares on Wax—has continually redefined the possibilities of sound. From the sample-rich days of Smokers Delight to the introspective and transformative journey of Shout Out! To Freedom, he’s created a body of work that isn’t just about music, but emotional resonance, culture, and evolution. With Echo45 Sound System, N.O.W takes that lineage a step further—a mixtape that feels like both a celebration and a declaration. And it’s more than a compilation—it’s a living, breathing sound system experience that merges soul, roots, hip-hop, dub, and electronic textures with 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. It boldly announces where he’s going.

RSVP is encouraged.
