EVOL is an electronic music group based in Barcelona in Spain. Originating in the 1990s[ref], the principal members are Roc Jiménez de Cisneros and Stephen Sharp[ref].

EVOL's music explores computer music and "rave" aesthetics, often combining the two. They have characterized their music as "Computer Music For Hooligans" and lattery "Rave Synthesis". Examples of their projects include interpretations of the works of Iannis Xenakis and Hanne Darboven.

The band is closely associated with the record label Alku, which has released recordings both by EVOL and by artists such as Goodiepal, Pain Jerk, Russell Haswell, and Mark Fell.

EVOL's music has been released by record labels such as Editions Mego, Entr'acte, Presto?, and fals.ch.

EVOL has performed live at significant electronic music festivals such as Sonar and Unsound.
