This 2024 reissue of the 1999 classic 'Carboot Soul' brings Nightmares on Wax's landmark album back into the light. It features new remixes and previously unheard material, celebrating a pivotal moment in soulful electronic music.
- Originally released in 1999, 'Carboot Soul' was a significant departure for Nightmares on Wax, leaning more heavily into soul, jazz, and funk influences than previous works. The album was recorded primarily at Evelyn's studio in Ibiza. It achieved moderate chart success, with one track being featured in a popular film soundtrack.
- The 2024 deluxe edition includes a variety of new takes on the original tracks from artists such as Four Tet, HAAi, and Ross from Friends. It also features instrumental versions and a selection of rare B-sides.
- The reissue aims to reintroduce a generation to Evelyn's unique blend of sample-based grooves and warm, organic textures that defined a specific era of electronic music.
Nightmares on Wax is the Wigan-born electronic music producer George Evelyn. Evelyn has been releasing records on Warp since the early 1990s, pioneering a soulful, sample-heavy take on IDM and trip-hop.
