Music Under Fire

Nightmares on Wax have been one of MUFs favorite chill-out music dating way back to 1995's Smoker's Delight. Just as Justin Timberlake is to pop, Nightmares On Wax are to chillout... perhaps even that doesn't do the now 38-year-old Trip-hop mastermind George Evelyn justice.

Evelyn, whose fame quickly spread via the DJ Kicks complilations started back in 1995 (way before iPods) was a shoo-in given the perfected beats and organic chemistry each of his songs emulated so well. Nightmares on Wax has joined the realms of Kruder & Dorfmeister, DJ Cam, DJ Krush and so many more who have perfected this less popular genre of music over the course of the last 15 years.

Nightmares on Wax is set to release their CD on September 2nd in the US and Canada. The album is called thought so... and is absolutely top notch. The first single from their album is "195lbs". If you're not so sure you're ready to commit to it yet, you can preview it on iTunes, as it has already been digitally released, or hop on over to the Nightmares On Wax blog. The blog features a game where the album is played in the background for your listening enjoyment. You can play the game right here.

There’s a facebook version of the game where you can log your hi-scores into our N.O.W. hi-scores table (play the game and submit your score). We may as well have a little competition.. The prize is a special N.O.W. goody bag from E.A.S.E. including:

- A signed test pressing of the new album on vinyl (or a CD copy if you want instead)
- N.O.W. Posters
- A N.O.W. T-Shirt
- A couple of recent DJ mixes on CD

The winner will be decided by whoever is top of the N.O.W. hi-score table by Monday 1st September at midday.
