With silent disco now common place on Kampala’s nightlife scene, the dos no longer rouse much excitement. With this in mind, organisers of the silent disco at Aer Lounge in Kololo on Friday evening decided to switch up the experience. The event came with a new twist, adding 3D cinema to the experience.
Touted as an affair to remember, the Smirnoff 3D Silent Cinema and Disco event was indeed a memorable experience. Besides dancing away the night away, revelers now also had an option to just lay back and instead enjoy a movie screening on the projector.
Revelers who flocked the venue in big numbers were welcomed with a pair of headsets, 3D glasses and a free bottle of Smirnoff Ice to kickoff the evening. Movie lovers found themselves seated on mats and large cushions which were laid down closer to the screen, while the rest of the crowd took up space on the tables.
However, as the night proceeded most revelers found themselves abandoning the movies and switching to music. The movie channel would eventually even get switched off as the party gained full momentum. At this point the crowd was all on their feet dancing and screaming themselves hoarse as they reveled in the music. At some point the crowd could even be seen dancing in unison, especially when the deejay played a popular song.
The party was hosted in the bar’s open gardens affording revelers a much needed cool breeze as they partied away till wee hours of the morning. Switching between the blue, green, and blue channels, revelers enjoyed music mixes from a line up of 10 deejays who included, Naselow, DJ LL, DJ Benon, DJ Marvin, and The Drop Out among others.
