Fred again.. has announced that he’ll play 10 shows in 10 cities over 10 weeks as part of the rollout of the next edition of his USB releases.
In the British producer’s characteristic hype-building style, the location for each show will be revealed only the weekend before it happens, with the first show announcement coming Sunday, Sept. 28.
Shows are set to feature 10 new tracks that are part of USB002, the second segment of project that started in 2022 and featured tracks including Fred’s collab with with Four Tet and Skrillex, “Baby Again”; “Rumble” with Skrillex and Flowdan; his solo heater “Jungle”; “leavemealone” with Baby Keem; and “stayinit” with Lil Yachty. The project also included remixes from Nia Archives, HAAi and Rico Nasty.
Fred’s most recent releases include June’s “Victory Lap” with Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax, with four remixes of the song featuring Denzel Curry, Hanumankind, That Mexican OT and more subsequently getting released. The producer also recently released the recording of a live performance done on a roof in Naples, Italy, overlooking the Piazza del Plebiscito.
Of this performance, Fred wrote in the video’s YouTube description: “After a show I never quite know what to do. Like you go from being filled with the most adreneline [sic] ever, to suddenly being like alone or basically alone. Often I just play songs I’m working on and jam on my keyboard to try ideas out to try n calm down and stuff, cos I cant really be social often.
“So when I saw fedde commenting on a post that he had a rooftop that overlooked the show I thought wow this could be like my dream afters. Just going straight up there and get [sic] to play songs on my ones and still get to see and feel the energy of the show as everyone leaves! I played this whole set just to Fedde and the beautiful nonna who also lives in this building. It was a lovely sight to look up occasionally and see them both there. Him dancing her sitting. Me a bit of both.”
