Warp Records is getting set to release the best-of compilation from Nightmares on Wax (aka George Evelyn), titled N.O.W. Is The Time, which celebrates the 25-year career of the electronic music pioneer, who will be touring in support of the album, including a much anticipated appearance at the inaugural The Hudson Project in Saugerties, NY July 11th-13th. Nightmares on Wax, one of Warp Records’ initial signings, is releasing the compilation in celebration of his 25-year career, which falls in tandem with Warp’s own 25th anniversary. The tracklist has been slowly unveiled via various streaming services and is now revealed in full through both the Bleep and iTunes pre-orders. Full tracklisting is also available below.
 
“The Nightmares on Wax story is one that spans decades and genres. Nightmares on Wax came up in the 80s UK B-Boy and graffiti scene enamored with New York hip-hop and was an innovator in merging those sounds and feelings with the popular sounds of the UK at that time to pioneer what became dubbed “trip-hop.” Releasing classic albums such as Smoker’s Delight and Carboot Soul and working with the likes of De La Soul and Roots Manuva established NOW as one of the definitive purveyors of hip-hop, funk, dub and soul.”
