Kampala’s music scene has always thrived on rhythm, culture, and connection. Few names capture that spirit better than DJ Spinny, a household figure whose beats have powered the city’s nightlife for more than a decade. Now, as he marks 10 years behind the decks, Spinny is throwing a celebration that promises to be nothing short of legendary. The event, aptly titled Spinny and Friends, takes place on 12th October 2025 at Mestil Gardens, Kampala, and it stands as both a party and a tribute to the fans who made the journey possible.
Over the last ten years, DJ Spinny, born Joseph Kalisa, has built a reputation for transforming nights into experiences. His sets are more than playlists; they are carefully crafted journeys that move crowds from excitement to euphoria. From silent discos across East Africa to headlining major concerts for stars like Burna Boy, Davido, Fireboy, and Fally Ipupa, Spinny has left an undeniable mark on Uganda’s entertainment culture.
But this celebration is not about looking back; it’s about moving forward. Spinny and Friends is his way of giving back to the people who have danced, cheered, and lived every beat with him. “Music unites people through shared experiences,” Spinny reflects, and this event is built on that very truth.
Spinny and Friends Will Be An Unforgettable Experience
The DJ lineup is carefully curated to celebrate the culture. Spinny will be joined by comrades who have shaped Uganda’s soundscape: DJ Dash, Edwizzy, and Fem DJ. But the night doesn’t stop there. Flying in from South Africa are Jazzwork and Thukuthela, Afro-house kings who will bring their distinct sound to Kampala for the very first time.
The organisers have made access flexible for every kind of fan. Early bird tickets go for 100K, while the Spinny Circle option at 200K offers a more elevated experience. Groups can secure an Individual Table for 375K or a Table of 8 for 3M, making it perfect for friends who want to celebrate together.

Kampala has no shortage of parties, but Spinny and Friends carries a different weight. It’s not just an event; it’s the culmination of ten years of hard work, creativity, and consistency in a fast-moving industry. For Spinny, it’s a personal milestone. For fans, it’s a chance to be part of history. And for the city, it’s proof that Kampala continues to rise as a hub of African music and culture.
