Sheffield-born now Manchester-based Evan Majumdar-Swift aka 96Back is a young DJ/Producer embodying the renegade spirit of his native Steel City spanning genres, sounds and attitudes.

Growing up amongst the bleep legends of the rolling Sheffield hills, 96Back began nurturing their Ableton sorcery skills at an early age. At just 18 years old, they released his first EP ‘Provisional Electronics’ on CPU Records, quickly followed by his *debut* DJ set at the Boiler Room label showcase. Fast forward a bit and Evan’s graduated from techno wunderkind to one of the most multi-faceted producers around.

Their 2019 debut album ‘Excitable, Girl’ saw him push the boundaries of experimental electro to include italo-tinged euphoric arpeggios, bittersweet cascading piano melodies and, of course, absolutely massive drops.
