Echo45 Sound System

“With a legacy spanning over three decades, Warp Records’ longest serving artist George Evelyn – better known as Nightmares On Wax – has continually redefined the possibilities of sound.
From the sample-rich days of Smokers Delight and Carboot Soul to the introspective and transformative journey of In A Space Outta Sound and Shout Out! To Freedom, he’s created a body of work that isn’t just about music, but emotional resonance, culture, and evolution.
Rooted in the sound system culture of Leeds, George’s journey began when – courtesy of his Mum – he spent £5 on a battered old speaker box he dubbed ‘Echo45’ which changed the course of his life.
With Echo45 Sound System, Nightmares On Wax takes that lineage a step further – a mixtape that feels like both a celebration and a declaration.
And it’s more than that- 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.” – Warp Records
