Emerging from the fertile electronic scene of Sheffield, 96 Back is the alias of Evan Majumdar-Swift, a producer and DJ acclaimed for his inventive take on UK techno, electro, and rave. Since debuting in 2018 with the widely-praised “Provisional Electronics” EP on Central Processing Unit, 96 Back has built a reputation for combining intricate sound design, emotional depth, and dancefloor sensibility. His productions draw influence from the city’s industrial heritage while forging new ground in electronic futurism, as heard in subsequent releases like the critically acclaimed albums “Excitable, Girl” and “Love Letters, Nine Through Six.
” A regular presence in club and festival lineups across the UK and Europe, 96 Back’s DJ sets are celebrated for their versatility—effortlessly blending warped basslines, glitchy rhythms, and unexpected melodies. He is also recognized for his collaborative spirit, working with peers such as Special Request, Doc Sleep, and Happa.

With a restless creative drive, 96 Back continues to evolve, pushing boundaries in both his studio productions and DJ performances. His work straddles the line between cerebral electronics and raw dancefloor energy, positioning him as a distinctive and forward-thinking force in contemporary club music.
