The Drummer, Grouch, Hedflux, Evil 9 and Meat Katie. 

Starting in the early 2000s leading the party collectives Circuitree, Gnomelands, Bad by Design, Bass Invaders and Synthplicity; Fat Mandy also known as Mr Faster, has been organising and playing events from Bristol, London, Kent to Manchester, in iconic venues such as SE1, Mass, The Colosseum, Black Swan, Lakota, Jacks Club, Blue Mountain, Concorde2, and Volks.
