Aniko on Revolutionizing Nigeria's Rave and House Music Scene

In this episode of Afrobeats Intelligence, Joey Akan sits down with rising DJ and cultural curator Aniko, one of the key figures shaping Lagos’ growing electronic music and rave scene. Known for her bi-monthly Group Therapy events, Aniko has built a community-driven movement that exists alongside, and sometimes outside of, the mainstream Afrobeats ecosystem. Aniko discusses:

• Her journey from aspiring DJ to international touring artist

• Building a name independently in a fast-changing music scene

• Bridging Afrobeats, electronic music, and Lagos nightlife culture

• Staying grounded while contributing to Africa’s evolving soundscape
