Echo45 Sound System

Double gold colored vinyl LP pressing. Growing up in the sound system culture of Leeds in England, George spent a fiver, courtesy of his mum, on a battered old speaker box he named "Echo45". That box led him to Kevin Harper, a founding member of Nightmares on Wax, a chance meeting that would change the course of his life. With the latest music "Echo45 Sound System", Nightmares On Wax takes that lineage a step further-a mixtape that feels like both a celebration and a declaration. It's a living, sound system journey inspired by the original "Echo45" speaker box that merges soul, roots, hip-hop, dub, and electronic textures with a fearless spirit. Featuring a carefully curated ensemble of collaborators-including Yasiin Bey, Greentea Peng, Sadie Walker, Liam Bailey, and more-the record doesn't just reflect where Nightmares on Wax has been. While deeply rooted in his origins, sound system culture, and pirate radio, it boldly announces where he's going.
