Some nights are about discovering the next big sound. Others are about hearing the songs that never really left.
At Baoli Restaurant & Lounge, Thursdays are taking the latter route with Strictly Old School S.O.S., a weekly rooftop experience built around the music that defined earlier generations and continues to fill dance floors today.
Set for Thursday, October 8, the session will bring the old-school mood to Baoli’s rooftop at Arena Mall, Nsambya, with DJ Matson and Derrick Pro behind the decks.
The concept is deliberately simple: take the music back and let the memories do the rest.
From familiar hooks to records that instantly transport listeners to another era, Strictly Old School S.O.S. is positioned as a midweek escape for guests who would rather sing along to classics than chase whatever is currently trending.
The rooftop setting adds another layer to the experience, giving the Thursday gathering a more relaxed nightlife feel while keeping the music firmly at the centre of the evening.
For Baoli, the recurring night also taps into Kampala’s enduring appetite for old-school music, where nostalgia has increasingly become part of the nightlife experience rather than simply a reminder of the past.
With DJ Matson and Derrick Pro sharing the decks, guests can expect a night built around throwback selections and the kind of records that have remained staples long after their original release.
Strictly Old School S.O.S. happens every Thursday at Baoli, making it less of a one-off event and more of a weekly appointment for lovers of classic sounds.
