Qaa’da Phone, A Vinyl Hangout at Q Terrace

On Sunday, August 17th, 2025 at 6:30 PM, we’re gathering at Q Terrace (Baabdat) to spin our favorite records from our personal collections. Expect rarities, vanities, and everything in between. The hangout will be elevated by Q Terrace’s stunning sunset views, bites and snack menu with ingredients inspired by our local cuisine and wines from none other than El-Sabban.

No timetable, no fixed sets just a free-flowing improvisation where selectors feed off each other’s energy.

And the name? Inspired by the golden era of Arab record labels from the ’60s and ’70s, Qaa’da Phone is our playful nod to those labels whose hit-or-miss success was always matched by unforgettable artwork.
