Despite his relatively recent entry into the electronic music sphere, the Gothenburg-based producer has already garnered notoriety for his particular brand of lo-fi electronica, with artists such as Lukid commissioning remixes. 

Backman’s debut cassette on Opal Tapes, High-Tech High-Life (2012) was named a best seller by label chief Stephen Bishop, was subsequently pressed on vinyl by Boomkat and showcased the Opal Tapes aesthetic palette of frayed, filtered, off-key house and techno. That same year also saw the release of Backman’s six-track Skogen, Flickan och Flaskan (Opal Tapes), produced under his MCMXCI moniker, and a self-titled EP via London-based Astro:Dynamics imprint, mastered by Tri Angle Records artist Vessel. For CTM 2014, 1991 performs in an Opal Tapes showcase with founder Stephen Bishop aka Basic House, Lumisokea, and Karen Gwyer.
