One of the prime architects of the organic grooves later dubbed trip-hop, Nightmares on Wax deserted their early formula in 2002 only when it became respectable and a crossover appeared most likely. With the air cleared of downtempo cash-ins, producer George Evelyn and producer/keyboardist Robin Taylor-Firth went right back to dub-heavy trip-hop with In a Space Outta Sound. Unsurprisingly, Nightmares on Wax remain among the best at constructing simple grooves with endless depths; their only rival is Massive Attack. The centerpiece is "Damn," seven and a half minutes of gently undulating hip-hop courtesy of a reedy Al Hirt sample (familiar from its use by De La Soul) that eventually flowers into an R&B jam with a gospel choir. The other highlight is the hypnotic rocksteady groove of "Flip Ya Lid" with vocals from Ricky Rankin. As with past NoW releases, In a Space Outta Sound boasts an emphasis on sound architecture that

George Herbert Evelyn (born 15 January 1970), known professionally as Nightmares on Wax or DJ E.A.S.E., is an English DJ and record producer from Leeds. His music has primarily been released on Warp Records, and he is currently based in Ibiza. Nightmares on Wax began as a group, initially comprising Evelyn and John Halnon, and later including Kevin Harper.
Evelyn was introduced to soul music by his father and sister, including artists such as Quincy Jones and Curtis Mayfield, and later developed an interest in early hip hop tracks like "Rapper's Delight" and "Buffalo Gals".
Nightmares on Wax was formed in 1988 as a collaborative project with Halnon and subsequently Harper. The group’s debut studio album, "A Word of Science: The First and Final Chapter", was released on Warp Records in 1991. Following this release, Harper left to focus on DJing, while Robin Taylor-Firth became a frequent collaborator with Evelyn.
The second Warp album, "Smokers Delight" (1995), was later ranked number 15 on Fact magazine’s list of the "50 Best Trip-Hop Albums of All Time". Subsequent studio albums include "Carboot Soul" (1999), "Mind Elevation" (2002), "In a Space Outta Sound" (2006), "Thought So" (2008), "Feelin' Good" (2013), "Shape the Future" (2018), and "Shout Out! To Freedom..." (2021). In 2005, Evelyn founded his own record label, Wax On.
