Memory Box 3rd Birthday: Nightmares On Wax & Farley Jackmaster Funk

Our headliners for the event are:

Farley Jackmaster Funk
Farley is a pioneer of house music: going back to 1981 as one of the first members of the now legendary Hot Mix 5. His most famous hits were Love Can't Turn Around and House Nation, however he also released underground club tracks on seminal labels like Trax Records and DJ International. Farley is a revered DJ whose skills have also been put to good use on records by Earth Wind & Fire, Diane Ross, Arthur Baker, Giorgio Moroder and many more.

Nightmares On Wax
Nightmares on Wax is Warp Records longest serving artist. AKA George 'E.A.S.E' Evelyn, he has released a range of records that have been integral to cultural movements and electronic music. He spent his youth b-boying his way around the streets of Leeds and Bradford as part of teenage breakdance crew the Solar City Rockers. After cutting some embryonic rave tracks with musical co-conspirator Kevin 'Boy Wonder' Harper, the duo signed to Warp and released debut album A Word Of Science, becoming instrumental in the bleep explosion; with tracks such as Dextrous and Aftermath attaining mythical status for a generation of clubbers. George continued as a solo artist, still under the Nightmares On Wax moniker, going on to produce definitive albums Smokers Delight and Carboot Soul - both of which helped shape the burgeoning down tempo hip-hop scene, and tracks such as Les Nuits being widely regarded as chillout classics.
