about

the faded community

Originally called Faded Society Events , this was founded in 2021 after a successful Halloween party above a pub. This project slowly transformed into a brand and relaunched into what is now called The Faded Community (T/A FS Events & Marketing Ltd)

It’s an events & marketing agency dedicated to provide space, opportunities, resources and platform for grassroots creatives to pursue their music dreams.

Today in 2025, there are multiple events held in diverse venues; from intimate basements to large-scale warehouses. There are also many free open decks for the community and the popular Back2Back DJ Battles across London - not to mention the signature Halloween every year!

To avoid confusion, the social account for the brand is called @TheFadedCommunity to separate from Cat, the artist name Faded Society

JANE aka JFOX

Jane is the Strategic Operations Coordinator for the Back2Back DJ Battle, working directly with Cat to drive the competition's success. With a background in management and a passion for music, you'll find her behind emails enquiring about sponsorships or sending silly memes to encourage DJs for their battle.

As an artist herself, Jane brings a unique perspective to her role. She's a rapidly rising DJ who has performed at notable London venues and debuted in Tokyo and Ibiza. Trained by industry experts, she spins a dynamic mix of genres. Drawing from her own experience, Jane is passionate about building a supportive space where artists can thrive and share their sound.

AFAAN aka Kafn

Afaan is a queer South Asian troublemaker juggling too many hats — DJ, promoter, music producer, marketing professional, and occasional merchant of chaos. With roots in India, Africa, Middle East and a base in North London, he’s bounced between the worlds of underground raves and shiny entertainment brands, pulling from both to carve out his own weird corner. Obsessed with digging for oddball sounds and spotlighting artists who deserve way more shine, he’s one of the voices shaping The Faded Scene.

When he’s not stress-eating deadlines, you’ll find him co-plotting boutique raves with Did Someone Say… — the crew behind nights like Chill:In, Ether, and CounterCxlture.
