3. In the Trunk, Belting Down the Highway
Since making his debut as 96 Back in 2018, Evan Majumdar-Swift has become one of underground electronic music’s genuine rising stars. To date, the Sheffield-born producer has released two acclaimed albums for labels such as Hypercolour and CPU as well as a string of singles and collaborations. His EP for Happy Skull showcases his growing versatility as a producer and marks the labels return following a brief hiatus.
“143 Connections”, is a rapidly unfurling club cut that sees him pepper a weighty 140 rhythm track with crispy arpeggios and rolling acid motifs . The track increases in intensity as it progresses, with Rob Gordon’s immaculate mastering work bringing out the cut’s inherent weight, sharpness and subtle Bleep influences.
Elsewhere across the EP, 96 Back takes the opportunity to expand his trademark sound a little further. “Set Science” is a colourful slab of electro machine funk, full of fizzing sci-fi melodies and brain dance era synth work while “In The Trunk, Belting Down The Highway” drops the tempo but turns the intensity up to red with a slow motion chunk of mutant electronica complete with misty eyed breakdown.
