The Nightmares on Wax story is one that spans decades and genres. Nightmares on Wax came up in the 80s UK B-Boy and graffiti scene enamored with New York hip-hop and was an innovator in merging those sounds and feelings with the popular sounds of the UK at that time to pioneer what became dubbed “trip-hop.” Releasing classic albums such as Smoker’s Delight and Carboot Soul and working with the likes of De La Soul and Roots Manuva established NOW as one of the definitive purveyors of hip-hop, funk, dub and soul.
25 years on, his fanbase is still growing. His recent
Boiler Room DJ set has over half a million views, and he also recently appeared on
KCRW’s Morning Becomes Electric performing “I Am You.” After his successful US tour following the release of his most recent record
Feelin’ Good, he is about to embark on his largest US tour to date.
