Swangz Avenue is breaking new ground in the Ugandan music industry with the upcoming Swangz All Star Album, which is set to be the first album in the country to be mixed in Dolby Atmos.
Featuring some of Uganda’s top artists, including Azawi, Vinka, Winnie Nwagi, Levixone, Zafaran, Elijah Kitaka, and more, the Swangz All Star Album promises not just star power but also a revolutionary listening experience. By using Dolby Atmos, Swangz Avenue is taking a bold step to elevate the way Ugandan music is produced and consumed, making this one of the most exciting projects of the year.
What Is Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos is an advanced sound technology that creates a fully immersive, three-dimensional audio experience. Unlike traditional stereo or even surround sound, Dolby Atmos allows sound to move around the listener, creating the sensation that it’s coming from above, below, and all around you. Instruments and vocals feel more alive, and the music has a depth and clarity that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action.
Benon Mugumbya, co-founder of Swangz Avenue, shared why they chose to use this cutting-edge technology for the Swangz All Star Album:
We always strive to deliver the best for our fans, and Dolby Atmos allows us to take the music experience to another level. It’s more than just listening; it’s about feeling every beat, every note as if you were in the studio with the artists.”
How Can You Listen to Dolby Atmos Music?
With the Swangz All Star Album being mixed in Dolby Atmos, fans will get a chance to hear Ugandan music in a way that has never been done before. But how can you experience this? Fortunately, Dolby Atmos is more accessible than ever, and you can enjoy it on several common devices:
- Headphones – You don’t need a home theater to enjoy Dolby Atmos. Many streaming platforms, like Apple Music, TIDAL, and Amazon Music, offer Dolby Atmos tracks that you can listen to using compatible headphones. Devices like AirPods Pro, Sony WH-1000XM5, and Bose 700 can deliver the Atmos experience, making you feel like the music is swirling around you.
- Smartphones – Many modern smartphones, such as the iPhone 14, Samsung Galaxy S23, and Google Pixel 7, support Dolby Atmos playback. These devices allow you to listen to Dolby Atmos music directly from your phone with enhanced clarity and depth.
- Soundbars and Home Theater Systems – For an even more immersive experience at home, you can use Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbars or home theater systems from brands like Sonos, Samsung, or LG. These setups make the music fill the room, giving you a concert-like atmosphere right in your living room.
- Smart Speakers – Devices like the Apple HomePod and Amazon Echo Studio also support Dolby Atmos, giving you a rich and immersive sound experience from your smart speaker.
A Milestone for Ugandan Music
Swangz Avenue’s decision to mix the #SwangzAllStar Album in Dolby Atmos marks a significant step forward for Uganda’s music industry. By adopting this technology, Swangz is raising the bar for local production standards and positioning Ugandan music to compete on the global stage.

The Swangz All Star Album is expected to drop in October 2024, and Swangz Avenue has hinted at an exclusive album listening event where fans will get to experience the Dolby Atmos sound firsthand.
Why Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos offers a level of audio detail and depth that can transform any music-listening experience. By mixing the Swangz All Star Album in this format, Swangz Avenue is ensuring that fans hear every detail in the music, from the delicate harmonies to the thumping basslines, in ways that traditional formats can’t offer.
