The final instalment in Fred again..’s USB002 mix series revisits a night that helped spark his collaborative mixtape with the Mexican trio. This release captures the energy of the unforgettable Fred again DJ set in Mexico City. As a result, it is a moment that has become iconic among fans.
Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA’s Mexico City USB002 DJ set is now available exclusively on Apple Music in Spatial Audio. It was released on September 11 and features tracks from their live Mexico City DJ set. The recording completes a three-part series documenting selected performances from Fred’s USB002 run. This comes after earlier releases from Lyon and Toronto.
The mix captures a meeting between Fred’s evolving club project and the Mexican trio in front of a hometown crowd. For fans who experienced the unique Fred again Mexico City DJ set, it offers a chance to revisit an important chapter in their creative relationship. Previously, this was before that connection developed into the collaborative mixtape 9 months & 50 hours.
A Mexico City Finale for USB002
Fred’s ten-week USB002 run was built around ten songs released across ten cities. Each stop was shaped by its surroundings and audience, and the Mexico City DJ set—featuring Fred again—arrived at the close of that journey. At this stop, LATIN MAFIA joined him inside the booth.
The performance took place at Expo Santa Fe. Apple Music lists the recording as a 55-track mix running for three hours and 25 minutes. Therefore, it gives listeners an extended document of the closing stop. Its accompanying editorial notes highlight selections involving ROSALÍA, Tokischa and cellist Mabe Fratti. Notably, the energy of Fred again and LATIN MAFIA during this Mexico City DJ set is a key feature. Explore the full mix on Apple Music.
That local presence gives the release its particular significance within the series. With LATIN MAFIA sharing the booth, the Mexico City edition brings the artists’ developing connection directly into the live setting. In the same way, this is much like what made the Fred again Mexico City DJ set so memorable to those in attendance.

From the DJ Booth to 9 months & 50 hours
The relationship formed around the Mexico City performance would help lay the foundation for 9 months & 50 hours, Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA’s collaborative mixtape, released earlier this summer. This connection traces in part back to Fred again’s DJ set in Mexico City. Thus, it marks an important milestone.
Ahead of that release, the artists invited fans into their process through a 50-hour livestream. The Mexico City recording now provides an earlier point of reference for listeners. This is especially true for those interested in the story behind Fred again’s Mexico City DJ set.
Heard in that context, the set carries an additional layer of interest. It documents the artists sharing a booth and an audience during the period that helped bring their collaboration into motion. For fans following both projects, it connects the live Mexico City DJ set with the music that followed and brings the journey full circle.
