Kampala's nightlife scene is bracing for an electronic music takeover on October 2 as The Last Gal stages her first solo headline rave at Guvnor Street. This event marks a significant milestone in The Last Gal's DJ career, which began in 2022. She started her training at Gong Academy, where she was mentored by Derrick Files.
The Last Gal, whose real name is Kanyunyuzi Rachel Heyzo, will be joined by a diverse lineup of DJs, selectors, and MCs, including DJ Roja, Slick Stuart, Selector Jay, DJ Lito, DJ Jose, Fem DJ, DJ Mercy, and Sir Aludah. They will perform alongside Izzy the Business, Saint Trevor, Hanz MC, and Morgan MC, who will keep the energy high through the night with live crowd engagement.
The Last Gal's return to Uganda in February 2024 marked a fresh chapter in her career. Since then, she has continued to develop her identity around electronic music, with house and garage forming a major part of her sound. This sets her apart in Kampala's busy nightlife scene, where Afrobeats, dancehall, and Amapiano remain popular with club audiences.
The October 2 rave will give The Last Gal a platform to present her sound on a larger scale and introduce audiences to the musical direction she has been developing over the past few years. The event promises to be more than just a DJ set, as it showcases her unique style and sound to a wider audience.
The diverse lineup is expected to add variety to the night, with DJ Roja and Slick Stuart bringing years of experience in Uganda's mainstream entertainment industry. The other selectors and DJs will contribute their own styles to the electronic-focused event, creating a unique experience for attendees.
Beyond the music, the organizers are promising a full entertainment experience featuring lighting, audiovisual production, and performances designed to give the rave a festival-style atmosphere. This event marks a move for The Last Gal from building her name behind the decks to taking full ownership of a night dedicated to her sound.
After starting out as a trainee DJ in 2022, taking a break for her studies, and returning to the scene in 2024, The Last Gal will now headline her own show for the first time on October 2. The event is expected to draw a large crowd, eager to experience her unique sound and style.
