Yaw Evans is an electronic music artist, composer and DJ from South London known for his innovative approach to house, 2-step garage and UK techno. Yaw first rose to popularity on Instagram in 2018 after he began posting minute-long videos of jams he’d created solely using a Digitakt. He soon built his own modular synthesiser to expand his Digitakt compositions, and he now makes multi-genre music using a custom hybrid set up of groove boxes and his modular synth.

Creatively inspired by London, Yaw’s distinctive electronic style is explorative, merging textures of his city's culture, music and identity into his sound. His debut EP ‘Memories Of Now’ was released under Los Angeles-based label Mystery Circles in late 2020. Followed by a single, remix project and 2022 EP with South London based label GD4YA. The E.P has had support from BBC radio and club DJ’s.

Yaw has performed as DJ in a string of high profile nightclubs, most recently in Detroit’s Spotlite and London’s Fabric. As a content creator/composer Yaw has featured in interviews, created bespoke compositions and performances for brands such as Reverb, Roland, Spitfire Audio, Labs, Pioneer, L’Oréal, Selfridges and Sumo Digital. Yaw has been a guest lecturer at King Britt’s Blacktronika undergraduate course at the University of California San Diego, sharing his journey into electronic music and his use of modular synthesis and music technology.

Yaw is also an AFRORACK instructor, supporting audio-focused STEM education for young people of colour.
