James Tombling (aka FATBAZ)
A previous winner of the Centre for Music's dubplate competition, James's track 'Freak' was pressed on a double A side vinyl release.
James was so inspired by winning the Dubplate competition that he decided to release an album 'Concussion' alongside the dubplate release.
James studied Robotics at UWE Bristol and was a regular user of the Centre for Music (CfM)'s DJ room..
He makes huge DnB bangers as well as doing a bit of DJing in Bristol, including a blistering set at Amplify 2020.
