What makes a great party?
In Nigeria, partying has become a defining part of youth culture for many reasons, serving as a means to escape Nigeria’s ever fucked up daily reality.
In all their forms, they share a single aim; to bring people together to express themselves, create memories, and live fully in the moment dancing through the night and holding onto experiences that linger long after.
For the plot, we asked six people what a great party means to them. Swipe & share your POV with us. We’re taking notes!
We’re still not over Friday 3rd April, our very own Open Day 🔒
Conceived with one core motive in mind: for the people to dance across sonic universes, you not only showed up, you lit up our dancefloors.
So thank you. And to the DJs, you’re our MVPs behind decks.
We dance again in June. Stay Open 🫶🏾
Weekend wey go sweet, na from Friday we go know 😙
Here's our set times in advance of Open Day so you can pattern your waka proper. Say no to the spirit of FOMO or "had I known" and lock in with us 🧏🏾♀️
Busuyi is Open 🔓🔥
No, literally, he’s opening the party and with an insanely refreshing set too 🥤
If you haven't heard @lifeofbusuyi 's euphoric mixes like the Kehlani “Folded” x Ciza “Isaka” blend, come prepared to experience the smoothest fusion of R&B and Afrohouse.
RSVP now and pull up by 10PM on D-day. You don’t want to miss this, trust 🫡

Layo is Open 🔓🔥
At Open, we realised the world has far too few Alté sets, so we had no choice but to spotlight one of Nigeria’s most hybrid sounds 📍🎛️
To set the tone, we’re trusting the captain behind the decks, @layo.__ , to take us on a sonic trip back to easier times - when Alté Cruise was the anthem.
Are you ready to jaiye x2? 😮💨
Doghousetv is Open 🔓✨
After a brief hiatus from the scene and with new music on the way @doghousetvv is ready to let the dogs loose behind the decks at Open 🐕‼️
Get ready to (re)immerse yourself in a set that channels the heat and grit of the grungiest festival floors 🔥
Idktito is Open 🔓
You may know Idktito for her rousing EDM sets that span Afrohouse and Nigerian subgenres like Mara and Street Pop.
At Open, she’s taking it up a notch: expect an experimental, unrelenting set that pushes Mara, Naija Dance Music, and Street Pop further than ever before.
Get strapped, you’re about to experience Idktito on a new level 🚀
Smallzthedj is Open 🔓✨
If you don’t know @smallzthedj … come on fam 😳
The OG Afrobeats selector is bringing his sauce to our Open Day, reminding us exactly why Afrobeats is the sound that put Nigeria on the map.
Get ready to make steps weep mightily 😛🔥
LMNL is Open 🔓✨
Already known for his killer sets that sit somewhere between the avant-garde and the sexy, @lmnlinvasion is bringing that same edge to OPEN with an invigorating Bouyon set.
Oil your waist in advance for April 3. A word is enough for the wise 🧏🏾🙂↔️
