Washington-Ethnic majority-Celebration! Live

Honest music – truly a rare thing in times like these. George Evelyn aka DJ Ease, the positive force behind Nightmares On Wax, obviously knows a lot about musical honesty… and so it comes as no surprise that finally the man decided to take the next step to complete artistic freedom by creating his very own label imprint: WAX ON records.

“The basic idea behind WAX ON records: the soul of NOW is to deliver quality music with that certain ‘soul factor’ and, for that purpose, to create a network of unknown, or known artists, djs, singers/MCs, producers and musicians alike,” George explains. “In the strong belief that when you have creative people all pulling in the same direction, something special is gonna happen…”.

During Nightmares On Wax extensive and deep journey into sound over the past two decades, George met quite a few individuals broadcasting on his wavelength soundwise: intense production headz and spiritual music lovers from around the globe who all share a common vision of timeless “now” music that draws from a rich background. In a wide open (and ever expanding) space where Funk, Soul, Afrobeat, Reggae and Jazz heritage meet 3rd generation b-boy culture, urban lifestyle, electronic attitude and digital evolution, anything is possible. Some of the finest and most talented producers from that field are now gathering for good on WAX ON Records. Hand picked, nurtured and supported (in one way or another) by George and his crew, the start up label roster includes stand out artists like retroactive future funksters JD 73 and Negghead from England, french fried beat scientist Guts Le Bienheureux and Budapest supersonic sound sensation Gelka. These exceptional talents will all come up with seriously fresh EP and album releases on WAX ON records.

“This is only the first wave for WAX ON records, we have a lot of plans and way more great sounds in the pipeline” George says and smiles. “Yet this first wave already holds quite a few surprises and amazing creative work, perfectly mirroring my musical attitude and taste. I am happy and thrilled to be able to present WAX ON records as a healthy, open minded and vibrant playground for the inner musical child of likeminded souls who share my vision – and I sure share theirs.”

It has to be said, this is a great time to be here and feel the optimismn in the air:-)

We have had sell out shows, which has really suprised me on so many levels.

So now i’m naming this tour “The tour of inspiration”

A few of the guys  have been ill during this tour,but they have still cracked on with the shows and i can’t thank them enuff. You are true troopers!

When i find time like this, i will update you all with what is going on in this Amazing adventure called music.

I’m even finding time to make beats on the road,so lets bring on this next album:-)

Love to all
