What went down at Dazed Media’s Christmas party

If you’ve been an avid Dazed reader this year (which you should be, obviously), you may be aware we’ve covered many events across the world. From London and Paris, to the streets of Stockholm, Berlin, Atlanta and New York, we’ve been snapping pictures of guests at parties all year long. So, for the last time this year, we’re giving you our final breakdown of what went down at another party, but this time the celebration was our own festive cheer. 

Hosted at The MOTH Club in East London, the Dazed Media 2025 Christmas party had a leather and metallic theme and started with mountains of food courtesy of Nando’s UK. Throughout the night, the decks were spun by the likes of debbiesthuglife, Kemarr, Lagoon and Miss Jason, who also hosted a quickfire karaoke session. During the party, there were also tooth gems available, thanks to Tooth Gems London. 

Alongside all teams, there were guests from the world of Dazed Media, including new and alumni Dazed 100 such as Straight Diva, Opia, Mina Galan, Stephen Isaac Wilson, Michaela Stark, A Sai Ta, Darkwah, Gracie Brackstone, James Massiah and Jesse Glazzard.

Elsewhere, roaming round the party were also some of our contributors and friends, including Thurstan Redding, Princess Julia, Harry Fisher, Drybabe, Lulu Kennedy, Amelia Abraham, Troy Fearn, Kyle Dominic, Bessie Mae, Virgin X, Mesh Henry, Henrik Lische, Kaiden Ford, Emma Matell and Taiba. 

The night would not have been the same without The MOTH Club as a backdrop, which is currently facing the threat of closure. This Thursday, 18 December, Save Our Scene and Kickers will be hosting an event in support of the iconic East London venue. Head here to get a free ticket via an email action to Hackney Council, urging them to support keeping the space open and alive.
