About The Back Room
The Back Room has established itself as Kuala Lumpur's most credible underground electronic music venue, a deliberately no-frills club that prioritises sound system quality and DJ curation over glamour or scale. Located off Changkat Bukit Bintang, the city's main bar street, it offers a knowing contrast to the commercial venues that surround it — a dedicated space for serious techno and house that attracts KL's most music-focused clubbers. The venue's programming has introduced some of the global underground scene's most respected names to Malaysian audiences.
History
The Back Room opened in 2015 as KL's electronic music community was beginning to demand more than what the city's large commercial clubs could provide. Its success in establishing a genuinely underground alternative has been an important part of KL's evolution into a more musically diverse nightlife city.
