DJ NTY’S Urban Fusion Returns With “Urban Rave”
– A Night of Music, Energy, and Culture
On a warm Friday night in Victoria Island, Lagos, Mantra became the beating heart of the city’s nightlife. From 10pm until the early hours of 4am, the second edition of Urban Fusion, tagged “Urban Rave,” brought together hundreds of people under one roof to celebrate music, energy, and community.
Curated and hosted by DJ_NTY, the official DJ for Davido’s DMW record label, the event was more than just a party. It was a showcase of collaboration, culture, and the spirit of Lagos nightlife, delivered in partnership with After Hours.

The Vision Behind Urban Fusion
Urban Fusion was created around a clear idea: music is stronger when shared. Instead of relying on a single act to carry the night, the event places multiple DJs on the same stage, allowing each one to share their unique sound. This approach keeps the energy dynamic, fresh, and unpredictable.
With DJ_NTY as the headliner, the goal of Urban Fusion is not only to shine a spotlight on his artistry but also to build a platform where other talented DJs can step into the light. The result is a community-driven experience that reflects Lagos’ diverse music scene, blending Afrobeats, Amapiano, hip-hop, and house music into one seamless journey.
A Packed Night at Mantra
By the time doors opened, the anticipation was already high. Over 300 people filled Mantra, which transformed from its usual stylish lounge vibe into a full-blown rave atmosphere. Neon lights, thundering speakers, and a crowd that came ready to dance set the tone for the night.
The DJ lineup was carefully crafted. DJ NTY, the man at the center of it all, delivered a headline set that combined crowd favorites with new mixes, showing why he continues to hold his place as one of the leading figures in Lagos nightlife. DJ MNSTR kept the dance floor alive with infectious rhythms, while DJ FARATI and DJ NAYA each brought their own flavor of energetic transitions and bold mixes. DJ TYRAN pushed the night into its final, high-energy stretch, making sure no one slowed down until the lights came on.
The hype men were Adelz, The Edo Boyyy, and TifeControlla, which added another layer of electricity. Their call-and-response interactions, crowd engagement, and sharp timing ensured that the audience never lost momentum. Together with the DJs, they created an immersive experience where every beat and every drop felt amplified by the crowd’s reaction.
Why “Urban Fusion” Stands Out
In Lagos, nightlife is more than entertainment it is culture. Events like Urban Fusion capture that essence by giving people a space to connect, celebrate, and lose themselves in the music. What makes “Urban Rave” unique is the format. It is not just about a single headline act but about celebrating collaboration and showing that Lagos has more than enough talent to fill a night with energy from start to finish.
Special guests also made appearances throughout the event, adding to the sense of excitement and surprise. That unpredictability is the idea that anything can happen which is part of what makes Urban Fusion a must-attend series.
What’s Next for Urban Fusion
The success of this second edition makes one thing clear: Urban Fusion is not just an event, it is a movement. Designed as a concert tour that travels from city to city and even across countries, the series is steadily building momentum. With the support of DJ NTY and his dedicated team, more editions are already in motion, each promising to raise the bar, deliver bigger experiences, and expand the brand’s global footprint.
For those who missed “Urban Rave,” the message is simple: stay ready!. Urban Fusion will soon be coming to your city, bringing the same energy, sound, and culture that has already set Lagos alight, with every next edition only getting bigger, louder, and more unforgettable.
