“Faded Presents played a pivotal role in helping our collective, Cherry Jamz, take our first proper step into the club world by connecting us with Club Makossa, where we had our debut booking in July. This opportunity gave us visibility, confidence, and content that we wouldn’t have had otherwise. Looking back on this year, that event stands out as a key spark that helped us grow Cherry Jamz into a consistent, community-driven event series with regular bookings.

It’s notoriously difficult to break into the scene without prior experience, but the Faded Presents community does an amazing job of breaking down those barriers and providing a platform for grass-roots talent. I’m very grateful for Cat’s guidance and for the doors she has opened. Faded Presents is making a real, tangible difference in London’s grassroots music community, and we’re a testament to that - ben

“The Faded Presents Project experience was great! Such a good opportunity for myself and other local DJs to get together and play out in a sound space. It made me remember how much I love putting events on and it's definitely something I'd be interested in doing again.

The marketing fund paid a designer to create our artwork & social media assets; a perfect amount for an event of this size as we felt that digital marketing was all we needed. The online guides were insanely helpful and became an essential tool. Thanks again!” - Blaynee

“Thanks so much for your help in the early stages last year!! The first event was a big learning experience but since then I’ve had 4 consecutive sell outs up North in Manchester selling over 700 tickets! So glad I signed up was such a help in taking the first step risk-free, honestly has changed my life thank you so much” - EmRE
