London,

This will probably be our last email of 2025, and it’s been a pleasure writing it for nearly 6,000 London ravers this year.

With all the madness going on at the moment, I’ve included a few underground selections for this week below, including secret/free events. You will also find our top 5 picks for NYE if you haven’t got your tickets in yet, as well as some picks for January to get ahead of the game.

I don’t know if you are feeling it too, but there’s a big shift in the scene at the moment, with things moving away from the commercialised nightclubs and back to the underground.

2026 is going to be an exciting one for sure, and you can expect a lot more from Lab in the future.

Finally, we are sold out for our Sound Experiments night at Lab.Club offices this Friday- we’re looking forward to meeting some of you there. If you didn’t catch tickets, we will be hosting these weekly next year!

Have a merry Christmas and NYE; catch you in the new year.
