Spinback is an electronic music festival based in London, dedicated to celebrating the essence of analog sound. The event focuses exclusively on vinyl records, cassette tapes, and modular technology, offering an authentic, high-quality listening experience rooted in physical formats and live performance.

While electronic music events are often associated with fully digital sound—especially in more commercial contexts—there is a strong underground community that continues to value analog tools for their depth, warmth, and sonic richness. In recent years, this approach has gained renewed interest, with many DJs and musicians returning to analog equipment, incorporating live instruments and vocals into their performances.

Spinback emerges from this shift, positioning itself as a platform for DJs and musicians who work with analog systems. The festival brings together established and emerging artists, creating live performances that connect the past with the present while reinforcing the relevance of analog sound within contemporary electronic music.

The name Spinback refers to the DJ technique of manually reversing a vinyl record while it is playing, allowing the sound to return to an earlier point. This gesture—used for slip cueing or cutting music live—becomes a metaphor for the project itself: a deliberate step back toward the analog era. The sound and motion associated with back spinning reinforce the idea of rewinding time, aligning the festival’s identity with a renewed appreciation for analog culture.
