If you weren’t at LinusTats Tattoo Studio this past Saturday night, well… you missed the party of the season. The secret’s out Pass the Aux, Kampala’s boldest new listening experience, just made its explosive debut, and it was everything but ordinary.
Powered by Guinness Smooth, the event fused music, ink, fashion, and raw creative energy into one unforgettable night. No stiff VIP ropes, no scripted vibes just pure, unfiltered expression.
The night’s theme? “Make It Yours.” And that’s exactly what went down. DJs Alza, Big E, and Selecta Jeff tag-teamed on the decks, dropping an unpredictable blend of house, amapiano, and Afro-beats that had the floor buzzing. But it was Linus Tats, the tattoo maestro turned DJ, who brought the house down with a killer set that married underground edge with dancefloor magic.
With Guinness Smooth flowing and the bass pulsing, the studio transformed into a creative playground. Live tattoo sessions? Check. Custom fashion looks? Everywhere. Random cyphers and pop-up dance battles? Absolutely.
“This wasn’t just another party,” said Mercy Atwongire, Project Manager at UBL.
“It was a celebration of collaboration, identity, and pushing boundaries everything Guinness Smooth stands for. Pass the Aux is about giving creators and culture shapers space to fully express and be heard.”
And express they did.
Every corner of the space oozed originality inked walls, statement streetwear, and a crowd that came to be seen, heard, and felt. The final set from Linus Tats sealed the deal, sending the already hyped crowd into a frenzy of cheers, snapshots, and chants for an encore.
Pass the Aux isn’t just a party it’s a movement. And if this debut was anything to go by, Kampala’s nights just got a whole lot smoother.
Next time, don’t just hear about it. Be there.
