MAD MAXXX
Friday 1 Nov 2024 - 10pm-6am // Studio 338, London
"My name is Max. My world is fire. And blood."
This Halloween (Friday 1st November), Fox&Badge invite you to an epic post-apocalyptic world of tribes and warriors, all on a wild high-octane journey through mayhem to redemption, inspired by George Miller’s 5 MadMax movies.
Come experience the thrill and awe of the Aussie outback Open Road; the Thunderdome, the Citadel, Gas Town, Bullet Farm, Refinery and Bartertown; & the refuge of the Oasis and the Green Place
MadMaXXX explores the antithesis to Versailles - moving from an effeminate world of hyper-sophistication to a hyper-masculinised world of toughness and metal, transitioning from light to dark, white lace to black diesel, hyper-civilised order to furious chaos; luxury to ingenious survival. There’s no cake in the desert.
We’re delighted to finally be working with the epic venue, Studio 338 - which was originally London’s largest nightclub, meaning we’ll have lots of space to explore & stretch out in. It was originally launched with one aim: to bring Ibiza to London - & Ibiza’s arid soil is just that orange that we think of in the Mad Max movies.
Amidst all the apocalypse, we seek redemption, celebrating community and humanity - and how we all flourish when we move from solitary individualism into the collective and collaborative. We also celebrate the redemptive power of the grounded feminine, tempering the destructive anarchic violence of the wilderness, moral decay, and ecological collapse.
“I am the one that runs from both the living and the dead... I exist in this wasteland, reduced to one instinct: survive."
YOUR JOURNEY
Come explore all our furious, wild landscapes of flight & redemption:
Our ThunderDome dancefloor, powered by fire & diesel
Our pantheon of female Furiosas, playing driving melodic techno
Our hidden Space of Abundance, a refuge of gentler organic sounds
Our army of Aerialists, swinging through our skies
Our brigade of War Boys, erupting with fire-breathing performance
Our immersive bands of scavengers and survivors
Our Citadel of Sensuality - a sanctum for your senses
Our Tanctuary - or Sanctuary of Tantra - oasis of connection
Our Dungeon of Armageddon, testing your metal ;)
Our arsenal of all-powerful sound and light weaponry
& all kinds of other wild experiences, landscapes and fantasies
We are delighted to be working with WAX (after our joyous collaboration last year at Heaven) as our official partner and exclusive sponsor.
“Where must we go… We who wander this wasteland in search of our better selves?”
DRESS CODE: post-apocalyptic
diesel-fuelled
doomsday DEBAUCHERY

Road warrior or desert queen; gasoline baron or dust witch; scavenger lord or dust mistress; we welcome your raw, rusted glory and unbridled savagery. No vehicle too souped up!

Style: think body-armour, helmets, masks, metal, leather, chain, spikes, utility belts & accesories; smeared diesel grease; fierce tribal makeup; bare body parts
Palette: think black, brown, earthy; dark & dusty - ideally frayed, worn and distressed; fully post-apoc; DIY, makeshift, ramshackle, scavenged from war-zones and wastelands - yet always luscious and inventive

This is a high-production, co-created arts & fetish event. We love sexy, wild creativity. We love intricate, elegant, crafted costumes. We especially love stuff you carefully and lovingly made; look out for our Costume Workshop, which we’ll hold a fortnight before the event.
Absolutely NO daywear, streetwear, businesswear, officewear, banal-wear, or anything off-theme will be allowed. NO T-shirts, shirts, slacks, sneakers - or anything ordinary you’d just wear down the street. If you are trying to figure out how to make this as easy and basic as possible, this is not the event for you.
"I am the chosen one. The mighty hand of vengeance, sent down to strike the unroadworthy! I'm hotter than a rollin' dice. Step right up, chum, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road, right to FREEDOM!"

We celebrate expression over restriction, and take and share photographs of our nights. We always have several amazing professional photographers and videographers at our events to capture some of the magical moments we can’t possibly all experience at once. It is not practical or implementable for our crew to ask every guest in our many vast rooms for their explicit consent; please feel entitled to tell any photographers if you do not want to be filmed or photographed. Images of the night will be shared discreetly on our channels. We will of course instantly honour the request for removal or blurring of any photos you are not comfortable with; your privacy is paramount.
We kindly request our guests to leave their phones to the side as much as possible, not film the night, and simply be fully present; we will share all our beautiful professional photos & videos with our community immediately after the event. There are strictly no photos allowed in dungeons or of any intimate acts. If in doubt, ask. Please only photograph with the utmost consideration, awareness and respect.
-
We want to make our events as accessible as possible; to help us do this please email any questions and access requirements to foxandbadge@gmail.com. We will be as accommodating as possible. If you purchase a ticket to one of our events and it is not possible for you to queue, please email us to arrange faster access in advance.
Electric Brixton has disabled access in the lower part of the venue. You can contact them with specific queries on access at 0207 274 2290.
Due to the shape of existing buildings and the immersive nature of our events, we may have areas that are unsuitable for those with specific access requirements.

“What an incredible, magical night. Fox&Badge thank you so, so much for the unforgettable experience. It was my first time and I was blown away by the amazingness! The production and the unbelievable performances working in sync with the mesmerising music so beautifully and tastefully and all the wonderful people and energies. I can't wait to be back.” -Alina T
“Easily the most epic night ever. I think, what has made the party so special, is that everyone is part of the act. Surely, this is in your manifesto, but it is a totally different thing seeing it and feeling it firsthand.” - Dmitry Z
“What an incredible night! This was our first F&B event, and we've been to a fair few kink events, and we've never seen such creativity and devotion! Without a doubt, it was one of the most memorable events we've been to.” -Jonathan M
“Fox&Badge is a party that is just one of a kind. An epitome of creativity, expressiveness, sensuality, excitement, fun, open- mindedness that a a crazy amount of work goes into. Thank you so much for putting another extraordinary night where the most amazing people came together for a night of euphoric fun.” -Anna
