DJ Venum Sets the Deck on Fire at Mainland Block Party 2025

Lagos stood still on May 24th, 2025, as DJ Venum — real name Aletor Jordan, popularly known by his electrifying moniker Venum Ondeck — delivered a blistering performance at the highly anticipated Mainland BlockParty: Ilé Ijó. Held at the vibrant Secret Garden in Agidingbi, Ikeja, the event proved to be more than just a party; it was a dance-powered cultural explosion — and DJ Venum was the undeniable heartbeat of the night.

From the moment he stepped behind the decks, DJ Venum took full command of the soundscape, blending Afrobeats, Amapiano, House, and hip-hop-infused rhythms with a finesse only few in the game possess. His transitions were razor-sharp, his track selection flawless, and his energy contagious. As the “House of Dance” theme encouraged bodies to move, Venum’s set elevated the experience from exciting to unforgettable.

While Ilé Ijó featured standout performances from artists like Mr MayD, Bella Shmurda, and Zlatan, and was powered by top MCs and hype men, it was DJ Venum’s showmanship that truly stole the spotlight. His set became a masterclass in crowd control and musical storytelling — keeping the massive audience in sync, song after song, drop after drop.

No stranger to the Lagos nightlife scene, Venum’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. As the resident DJ at Soakers, he’s already known for turning regular nights into sonic spectacles, but his Ilé Ijó performance solidified his reputation as one of the most commanding DJs in Nigeria’s entertainment landscape today.

With every event, DJ Venum continues to defy the boundaries of what it means to be “just a DJ” — he’s a cultural force, an experience curator, and at Mainland Block Party 2025, he proved once again that the stage is his, and the crowd is always ready.
