Go Behind the Scenes with Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA in New Tour Film ‘under the fabric’

A Creative Convergence: Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA Unveil “under the fabric”

The intersection of global electronic music and local Mexican talent has produced a captivating new audiovisual project. British producer Fred again.. and the rising Mexican trio LATIN MAFIA have collaborated on a 35-minute film titled under the fabric, which offers fans an intimate look at their creative synergy and showcases several previously unheard tracks.

Behind the Scenes of the Mexico City Session

The documentary captures a spontaneous recording session that took place in Mexico City last December. The timing coincided with Fred again..’s high-profile USB002 tour, which saw him making significant waves in the Latin American music scene. The connection between the artists was solidified when LATIN MAFIA made a surprise guest appearance during Fred’s live set on December 11th, electrifying the local crowd.

The film’s aesthetic is defined by a striking visual installation created by Dutch artist Boris Acket. By performing beneath this intricate fabric structure, the musicians created a cocoon-like atmosphere that prioritized raw, unfiltered sound over polished studio production. This approach mirrors the current trend in electronic music where artists are increasingly favoring “live-first” recordings to capture the kinetic energy of a performance rather than relying solely on digital post-production.

Artistic Synergy and the USB002 Legacy

Reflecting on the collaboration via Instagram, Fred again.. expressed a deep appreciation for the organic nature of their partnership. He noted that the “under the fabric” session was captured in a single take, emphasizing that the physical environment-the fabric installation itself-played a pivotal role in shaping the mood of the music. For fans of the producer, this release serves as a vital chapter in the ongoing USB002 tour narrative.

This project is the latest in a series of high-profile collaborations that have defined the USB002 era. Fred again.. has consistently utilized his tour stops to bridge gaps between genres and geographies, having previously shared the stage with legendary figures such as Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk and the iconic UK garage pioneer The Streets. By integrating these diverse influences, Fred again.. continues to solidify his reputation as a curator of modern musical culture.
