Meet the house party professionals bringing Project X to your doorstep

You’ve heard of Father Christmas, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, but have you heard of the hedonistic elves bringing Project X direct to your doorstep? Self-described house party professionals, Lab 54 is the gaggle of young Londoners hopping from kitchen to kitchen, on a quest to deliver you the best night — and worst hangover — of your life.

‘Everyone has the right to blow off some steam, we just help to facilitate it,’ says 23-year-old Joe Gordon, who founded Lab 54 just over a year ago. In the space of 12 months, Gordon has gone from being one man and his decks, to a full sound system, lighting, bouncers, a team of eight, and 6.7 million views on TikTok. Not only that, world-renowned DJs are lining up to get involved and of late they’ve hosted Jax Jones, Sigala and Rudimental, to name a few.
