Party pics from the euphoric dancefloor at Get Your Fckin Laws Off My Body

Last night, 14 years of Tory rule came to an end, as the Conservative party were voted out of government to make way for a Labour landslide. 

This might have been what we were all hoping for circa the last general election in 2019, but now, in 2024, it basically means more of the same, as Labour leader Keir Starmer and his crew continue to cement themselves as ‘Tories in disguise’ – Starmer has previously refused to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, backtracked on his stance on immigration, cosied up to fast fashion brands the rest of Europe is clamping down on, and stated that trans women do not have the right to use women’s spaces, despite vowing to protect them in the lead up to the vote.

It’s for this reason that nights like Get Your Fckin Laws of My Body are more vital than ever, as the queer community comes together to fight back against the legislation that takes away their agency and body autonomy. Taking over London’s Peckham Audio last month, the sweat-drenched night saw cult musician – and Lady Gaga go-to – Planningtorock take over the stage with a live performance and Lewis G Burton and Wax Wings get behind the decks for a night of drinking, dancing, and joyful resistance. 

On hand to capture it all was photographer Dani d’Ingeo, who headed through the throngs to document the best looks, tender moments, and those going for it on the dancefloor with wild abandon. “Planningtorock is a music legend and their history and legacy is immense,” they explain. “It’s been such a joy to follow their career and journey and the attendees [at the party] definitely shared a similar feeling. Die hard fans, party queers and weirdos all came together for an evening of electronic hedonism and powerful messages. The atmosphere was buzzing with the kind of joy that’s no stranger to queer and trans people – one that mixes political angst, euphoria and liberation.

The crowd inside are captured candidly in animated conversation or mid-dance, with Dazed family like musician and author Tom Rasmussen and photographer Thurstan Redding among them. “I like to be a part of the crowds I’m capturing and frame them as they are seen from inside, rather than above,” explains d’Ingeo. “I usually find myself drawn to people who are dancing freely, who are in communion with others around them, move with kindness and make the space richer.”
