Having recently celebrated its second anniversary in March 2025, the collective now enters a new chapter with the support of the Studio Monkey Shoulder grant.

The winning project, ‘See The Sound’ was spotlighted in recognition of its innovative multi-sensory storytelling, which deepens audience engagement while preserving Lagos’ underground electronic scene.

With DJs, immersive audio-visual installations, and creative talks, the project safeguards a vital cultural movement while amplifying its visibility on the global stage, positioning Lagos as a key origin point for new and relevant sounds.

In line with the grant, Mainland House Lagos will bring this project to life at the See The Sound Event taking place on September 27th, 2025, in collaboration with Worldwide FM and Monkey Shoulder.

 

“They’re clearly building something exciting on the mainland in Lagos,” Giles Peterson noted.

 

“I love how they’re taking their distinct sound and community and want to build an experience that showcases the DJs, their stories and the energy of their scene. It’s a great opportunity to cement Lagos’ place on the global electronic scene and develop the unique Lagos house sound.”

 

As part of the award, the project will receive global exposure through Worldwide FM’s radio and film broadcasts, connecting Lagos’ scene to new international audiences.
