Fred again.. Extends USB002 Tour with 10 New Shows in New York and London

Fred again.. has announced 10 additional dates for his ongoing USB002 tour, extending the project with a new run of shows across New York and London.

The newly added dates include six performances at New York’s East End Studios in January on 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 & 31 and four shows at London’s Alexandra Palace in February. on 12,13,26 & 27. Each performance will once again feature the immersive Boris Acket installation, a suspended, moving fabric structure that floats above the crowd and has become a defining visual element of the USB002 live experience.

The announcement arrives shortly after the conclusion of the original USB002 rollout tour, which wrapped last week with a final show in Mexico City. That ambitious run spanned 10 weeks, 10 cities, and 10 releases, with Fred debuting a brand-new track at every stop. As the tour progressed, the scale and energy of the shows continued to grow, with surprise guest appearances from artists such as Sammy Virji, Kettama, Four Tet, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, and dubstep legends Skream & Benga.

USB002 represents a continuation of Fred again..’s unconventional approach to releasing music, blending pop up shows, evolving live performances, and immersive production into one interconnected experience. The newly announced New York and London dates extend that vision into early 2026, giving fans another opportunity to experience the project live.

Tickets for the new USB002 dates go on sale Thursday, December 18.

Ο Fred again.. επεκτείνει την USB002 περιοδεία με 10 νέες εμφανίσεις σε Νέα Υόρκη και Λονδίνο

Οι νέες ημερομηνίες περιλαμβάνουν έξι εμφανίσεις στα East End Studios της Νέας Υόρκης τον Ιανουάριο, στις 16, 17, 23, 24, 30 και 31, καθώς και τέσσερα shows στο Alexandra Palace του Λονδίνου τον Φεβρουάριο, στις 12, 13, 26 και 27. Κάθε εμφάνιση θα περιλαμβάνει ξανά την immersive εγκατάσταση του Boris Acket, μια αιωρούμενη, κινούμενη υφασμάτινη κατασκευή πάνω από το κοινό, η οποία έχει εξελιχθεί σε βασικό οπτικό στοιχείο της USB002 live εμπειρίας.

Η ανακοίνωση έρχεται λίγο μετά την ολοκλήρωση του αρχικού USB002 rollout tour, το οποίο έκλεισε την προηγούμενη εβδομάδα με την τελευταία του στάση στην Πόλη του Μεξικού. Η φιλόδοξη αυτή περιοδεία διήρκεσε 10 εβδομάδες, 10 πόλεις και 10 κυκλοφορίες, με τον Fred να παρουσιάζει ένα ολοκαίνουργιο track σε κάθε στάση. Καθώς η περιοδεία εξελισσόταν, η κλίμακα και η ενέργεια των shows μεγάλωναν διαρκώς, με απρόσμενες guest εμφανίσεις από καλλιτέχνες όπως οι Sammy Virji, Kettama, Four Tet, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, καθώς και τους dubstep θρύλους Skream & Benga.

Το USB002 αποτελεί συνέχεια της αντισυμβατικής προσέγγισης του Fred again.. στην κυκλοφορία μουσικής, συνδυάζοντας pop up εμφανίσεις, διαρκώς εξελισσόμενα live sets και immersive παραγωγή σε μία ενιαία εμπειρία. Οι νέες ημερομηνίες σε Νέα Υόρκη και Λονδίνο επεκτείνουν αυτό το όραμα στις αρχές του 2026, δίνοντας στο κοινό ακόμη μία ευκαιρία να ζήσει το project από κοντά.

25:T35c4,

From Fred again.. to KI/KI’s “5 HOURS”, these are thirteen more picks from the dancetoday crew and community - and the nights we would love to live in Greece.

Some names make you check the date before you check anything else. Others become even more tempting when you see who is joining them behind the decks, or what kind of set they are playing. Following Part 1, our crew and community’s wishlist continues with thirteen selections. The order is not a ranking, and previous Greek appearances do not rule anyone out. We are thinking about the artists, partnerships and formats that would give us a reason to make plans around the music.

FRED AGAIN.. - From Athens Pop-Ups to a Bigger Dream

Fred again.. has a special place in the hearts of the dancetoday crew and community. “Delilah (pull me out of this)” is part of why: songs that feel personal, even when thousands share them. Greece has already experienced that closeness through his intimate September 2024 show at Lake Vouliagmeni, previewing his album ten days, and his Latraac pop-up parties in Athens in May 2025. So, those small settings make us want a full live show here even more.

For an artist who sold out the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a Greek concert on that scale once felt like a distant wish to us. Now, imagine Fred at Kallimarmaro. The iconic setting and room for his full production could make this a date Greek fans plan their year around, with fans travelling from abroad, too. We would love to see Athens become the destination for one of those Fred nights people wish they had been part of.

SKRILLEX - Nine Grammys, and Still Making Us Curious

Skrillex has nine Grammy wins, including “Rumble” with Fred again.. and Flowdan in 2024. But we hear his genius in the records: from “Bangarang” and his “Cinema” remix to the very different sound of “Rumble”, he keeps making unfamiliar ideas feel instantly recognisable. His 2026 collaboration with Chase & Status, “Essa Tá Quente”, keeps that curiosity alive.

A late Greek festival headline set would be our choice. His name has weight across generations, with earlier fans bringing memories and newer listeners arriving through recent collaborations. We would want the full range of his selections. With Skrillex, the reputation draws you in, but the curiosity about what he will do next makes you want to stay.

CHASE & STATUS - Drum & Bass With the Pull of a Headliner

Chase & Status won the 2024 BRIT Producer of the Year award, with records that explain their reach. “Baddadan”, made with Bou, and the UK Number One “BACKBONE” with Stormzy have taken their music beyond the regular drum & bass audience. A sold-out UK arena tour and their Milton Keynes National Bowl event show the scale they can command.

For Greece, we would want a festival headline DJ set, with the sound system and space that their bass-heavy music deserves. Their name could bring dedicated bass listeners together, while those hits give newcomers a reason to join them. The attraction is drum & bass presented as the main event, by an act with the stature to carry it.

STEVE ANGELLO B2B SEBASTIAN INGROSSO - A Shared History Worth Gathering For

We are huge Swedish House Mafia fans at dancetoday, so Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso have a special place in our hearts, too. Their connection goes back further than the group: childhood friends who were sharing records before Daft Punk helped send them into the studio together as teenagers. From Buy Now to their Tomorrowland B2B sets, that friendship has become a musical partnership worth seeing together.

For Greece, we would love a festival mainstage set that brings that history into the present. The attachment to the iconic “Don’t You Worry Child”, "Reload", "Greyhound" and their wider catalogues gives people a reason to gather, while their club selections offer another side of the pair. Two friends who helped shape our love of this music, sharing the decks here... that is a night we would really want to be part of.

JOHN SUMMIT - House Music on an Arena Scale

John Summit’s upcoming CTRL ESCAPE tour includes major North American arenas and a December booking at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. That is a substantial step for an artist whose appeal starts with “Where You Are” with HAYLA. Alongside Experts Only, he now has both familiar records and a party identity people can follow.

We would picture a Greek festival headline set, bringing together listeners arriving through the songs and those following his club selections. A melodic vocal can invite people in, then the rest of the set gives them more to discover. We would love to catch him while that audience is growing.

MAX STYLER B2B LAYTON GIORDANI - Two Names On Their Way Up

Max Styler and Layton Giordani are building identities people can follow beyond individual releases. Max Styler’s 2026 I Don’t Think I Can Stop EP puts more music behind the attention, on his own Nu Moda label. Layton Giordani has MADMINDS and “When It Kicks” with Green Velvet, a record supported by names including John Summit and Solomun.

We would love an extended indoor B2B in Greece. Styler’s house hooks and Giordani’s heavier house-and-techno range could bring their listeners into the same room. Two names on the rise, sharing the decks—that is a night we would want to catch here.

MEDUZA B2B JAMES HYPE - Two Hitmakers, One OUR HOUSE Night

“Piece Of Your Heart” and “Ferrari” give MEDUZA and James Hype immediate recognition. OUR HOUSE gives them something to follow together: a shared party now in its fourth Ibiza year. Their recorded Amsterdam B2B also shows this partnership in the format we would want here.

An outdoor house stage in Greece feels like a strong fit. MEDUZA’s melodic appeal and Hype’s fast, hands-on mixing offer different attractions within the same set. Familiar records could bring people in, while the pairing gives the headline slot its own character. We would love a Greek OUR HOUSE-style night with this B2B at its centre.

MARCO CAROLA B2B FRANKY RIZARDO - Music On Weight Meets FLOW Momentum

Marco Carola brings a name people already associate with a whole night of partying. Music On gives that following somewhere to gather, while Franky Rizardo’s first FLOW residency at Pacha in 2026 shows his own party identity growing. Its August closing was listed as sold out, with records such as “Shinjuku” giving fans another reason to follow him.

For Greece, an extended outdoor house set would be our choice. Carola’s established pull meets an artist whose own parties are gaining ground. We would want a night built around the pair, with the groove and time to make the partnership the main attraction.

FISHER B2B CHRIS LAKE - A Party People Already Recognise

FISHER’s OUT 2 LUNCH welcomed more than 40,000 people in Australia in 2025, while Chris Lake released his debut album Chemistry that year. Together, their Under Construction project has a party identity of its own, documented in their three-hour-plus Hollywood Boulevard set. “Losing It” and “Turn Off The Lights” give each artist a recognisable connection.

For Greece, we would want a big outdoor house event centred on a long B2B. FISHER brings a larger-than-life party presence; Lake brings a catalogue club listeners have followed for years. Their shared concept gives followers of both something to gather around. We would love the full Under Construction experience here.

CASSIAN B2B KEVIN DE VRIES - A Pairing With Real Mainstage Weight

Cassian brings Grammy-winning mix work on RÜFÜS DU SOL’s “Alive”, while his pairing with Kevin de Vries already has a Tomorrowland mainstage set and a UNVRS set behind it. Their 2025 performance and shared “Payback” remix (of the Steve Angello and Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman original) give us a clear reason to want both names together.

We would picture a Greek festival headline slot after dark. That “Payback” connection could bring listeners with progressive-house memories alongside fans following their melodic techno direction today. Their shared music makes this a pairing worth seeing together.

HARDWELL - Spaceman Memories With a Harder Sound

Hardwell’s two DJ Mag Number One titles give his name real festival weight. And the attachment to his music is still visible: “Spaceman” placed eighth in the community-voted Tomorrowland Top 1000 in 2026. His harder REBELS NEVER DIE direction and “Bang On The Drums” with Bassjackers give that history a current musical context.

For Greece, we would want a festival mainstage headline set with production that suits his sound. The attraction is hearing a name associated with years of festival memories bring his harder music to that same scale. We would love a night where those older connections and his current direction make sense together.

MARLON HOFFSTADT - Daddy Trance Is Reaching Bigger Stages

Marlon Hoffstadt’s 2026 includes a Coachella Sahara debut and an Ultra B2B with Armin van Buuren. DJ Daddy Trance is reaching bigger stages, with “It’s That Time” giving fans something familiar to gather around. His August album Das Ist Daddy adds more music behind the growing attention.

We would love a late indoor rave in Greece built around his name. The fast rhythms, direct hooks and playful trance references give it a clear character, with the Armin pairing also giving older trance fans a reason to pay attention. Hoffstadt feels like an artist worth catching while the following and the opportunities are growing together.

KI/KI “5 HOURS” - A Whole Night Worth Commiting To

KI/KI’s rise now includes two upcoming Ziggo Dome “5 HOURS” shows on October 22 and 23, both listed as sold out. The show builds on the production concept she brought to a sold-out London Roundhouse. That is a following prepared to make her the reason for the whole evening.

She has already played Athens, so our wish is about experiencing this particular format here. A dedicated indoor night would be our choice. Also, “5 Mins Of Acid” gives the request a familiar musical connection. Her mix of acid, trance and techno gives the five-hour idea a clear musical identity, so, we would love to see Greek fans gather around that full experience.

Your Turn

These thirteen selections complete our crew and community’s two-part wishlist. Some carry years of memories, others have momentum we would love to catch, and several become especially appealing through a particular partnership or format.

Which would you most want to experience in Greece, and what kind of set would make you plan your night around it?

The UK electronic music scene has been living a contradiction. Since the pandemic disrupted nightlife, one in three clubs across the country has closed, raising serious concerns about the future of grassroots spaces. Yet at the same time, the industry itself continues to grow.

According to the Fourth Electronic Music Report, the sector recorded £2.47 billion in measurable activity by the end of 2025, marking a 3% year-on-year increase. The UK ranks second globally in artist development, and music exports reached £86.8 million, underlining the country’s continued global influence.

But behind the strong headline numbers lies mounting pressure. Independent and local venues are operating on an average profit margin of just 0.48%, leaving little room for survival. Adding to the strain, 64% of nightclub royalties are reportedly miscalculated, further weakening already tight finances. The broader industry may be expanding, but the domestic ecosystem that nurtures talent is under stress.

Audience behavior is also shifting rapidly. Free events now account for 15% of electronic music gatherings, up 34% year-on-year. Daytime events have surged by 82%, and sober events have risen by 92%, reflecting cultural changes as nearly 40% of Gen Z abstains from alcohol. Geography is evolving too, with 51% of events now taking place outside London for the first time. The Northern Region alone has seen a 93% increase in events between 2022 and 2025.

As Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, points out, demand for electronic music remains strong. The challenge is not interest, but sustained economic pressure.

The UK scene is adapting through new formats, new regions, and new audiences. The question now is whether its core venues can survive long enough to support the next generation of talent.

2a:T2f7b,

On Friday 13/2/2026, during his USB002 residency at the iconic Alexandra Palace, Fred again.. invited the absolute pillars of UK electronic music on stage, Underworld, for an iconic B2B performance. And when “Born Slippy” echoed across that historic hall, it felt like time folded in on itself.

Because exactly 30 years ago, on 23/2/1996, "Trainspotting" was released. Directed by Danny Boyle, the film did more than shock audiences... it redefined how electronic music, rave culture and club identity were perceived worldwide.

So, this article is not just nostalgia. It is education. Also, for the older generation, it is a reminder. For the younger generation, it is context. And for artists and producers, it is a lesson.

Trainspotting: More Than a Film

When "Trainspotting" hit cinemas in 1996, rave culture was still largely underground. Yes, clubs were thriving, warehouses were full and Ibiza was evolving. But mainstream cinema had rarely taken electronic music seriously as a narrative force.

And "Trainspotting" changed that.

Instead of treating club tracks as background noise, the film placed electronic music at the emotional core of its storytelling. The soundtrack was not decoration. It was identity.

Based on Irvine Welsh’s novel, the film followed a group of friends navigating addiction, alienation and the search for meaning in 90s Britain. It captured a generation suspended between nihilism and possibility.

And its sonic backbone helped define that feeling. The soundtrack included acts like Iggy Pop, New Order, and of course Underworld. But one track became immortal:

Underworld - Born Slippy .NUXX

Originally released in 1995 as a B-side, “Born Slippy” was not designed to be a global anthem. Yet cinema transformed it!

b25lY21zOmJiNTkyMWIwLWYxMjgtNDdhZi04OTljLTY3M2VlYWIyMzA1ODo5NDE3MGIwNi1iMGRiLTQ1YmItOGM2YS1mMjc1ZjNhZjQ0M2Y=.jpg

The Final Scene That Changed Everything

If you have seen "Trainspotting", you remember the final scene: Renton walks away. The monologue begins. The tension builds. And then... “Born Slippy” explodes.

It was not just music placed over visuals. It was synchronization at its most powerful. The track became the emotional release valve of the entire narrative. The repetitive, hypnotic structure mirrored the chaos of the characters’ lives. The fragmented lyrics reflected confusion and disorientation. The relentless drive felt like escape.

That moment turned a club track into a cultural symbol. After the film’s release, “Born Slippy” climbed to #2 on the UK charts and Underworld became one of the defining electronic acts of the decade.

But its deeper impact was not commercial. It was psychological.

How "Trainspotting" Redefined Club Culture

Before "Trainspotting", rave culture was often portrayed as hedonistic, shallow or dangerous. However, after "Trainspotting", it became cinematic. The film did not romanticize addiction. It did not sanitize chaos. Yet it treated the soundtrack with seriousness and emotional weight.

And electronic music was no longer just party music.

It became:

A vehicle for storytelling
A reflection of urban alienation
A symbol of generational identity
A bridge between underground and mainstream

This shift mattered, because culture moves when narrative changes.

Trainspotting helped move electronic music from warehouses into living rooms, from subculture into collective consciousness. In many ways, it did for 90s rave what punk documentaries did for the 70s. It gave it myth.

For deeper context on 90s rave history, platforms like the British Film Institute and electronic music archives such as Resident Advisor’s long-form features offer valuable background reading.

Born Slippy: From Track to Anthem

“Born Slippy” is not a conventional pop song. Its structure is hypnotic rather than melodic. Its vocals are fragmented rather than clear. Its emotional arc builds gradually rather than exploding instantly.

That's why it works in clubs. And that's why it worked in "Trainspotting".

The track became:

A symbol of 90s rave consciousness
An expression of alienation and freedom
A sonic bridge between underground techno and mainstream culture

Even today, when a DJ drops “Born Slippy” at 6AM, something changes in the room. It is not just nostalgia. It is collective memory. And 30 years later, it remains one of the most powerful closing tracks in club history.

Why This Still Matters in 2026

Seeing Fred again.. play B2B with Underworld at Alexandra Palace was more than a cool booking. It was symbolic continuity.

Fred again.. represents a generation raised on emotional sampling, storytelling through production, and digital-native club culture, while Underworld represent the architects of a previous era.

But the bridge between them is narrative-driven electronic music. And that bridge was strengthened by "Trainspotting".

And for younger ravers, understanding this context is essential. Club culture did not just start with TikTok edits or Spotify playlists. It was built in warehouses, documented in cinema, and amplified through moments like that final "Trainspotting" scene.

Also, for older ravers, revisiting the film is not just nostalgia. It is remembering where part of this movement crystallized.

The Business Lesson for Artists and Producers

From my point of view, there is also a music business lesson here: "Trainspotting" demonstrates the power of synchronization. A well-placed track in film can transform a B-side into a global anthem.

Today’s equivalent might be a Netflix series placement, a viral clip, or a cinematic moment in digital media. But the principle remains: Music becomes timeless when it connects to narrative.

So, as artists, producers and DJs, we should not only think about streams. We should think about moments. Because moments create legacy.

Conclusion: Why You Should Watch It

"Trainspotting" is not just a 90s cult film. It is a cultural documentary. It shows how electronic music moved from subculture to mainstream without losing its emotional weight and demonstrates how cinema can elevate a track into mythology.

If you lived through that era, watch it again.

If you were born after it, you should watch it as well to understand what shaped today’s club culture.

Because when “Born Slippy” plays, you are not just hearing a track. You are hearing history. And history, when understood, makes you a better artist, a better DJ, and a more conscious participant in the culture we all claim to love.

2b:T1a56,

“Less is more” might sound like a cliché, but in modern electronic music production, it’s becoming a philosophy worth revisiting. With an overwhelming number of plugins available today, producers often find themselves chasing the perfect sound instead of actually finishing tracks. So the question stands: does having more tools make you more creative, or just more distracted?

According to Fred again.., the answer is clear. Speaking on the Tape Notes podcast with host John Kennedy, the acclaimed producer shared a perspective that challenges the plugin-heavy culture many artists fall into.

Fred admits that, like many producers, he has spent countless hours diving deep into plugin choices, obsessing over minor differences between EQs, compressors, and distortions. In hindsight, he sees much of that time as wasted.

His solution is surprisingly simple: limit your toolkit.

By stripping his Logic Pro setup down to a small selection of trusted plugins, Fred has removed unnecessary friction from his workflow. Instead of scrolling through endless menus, he works with a curated set of around 8 to 12 plugins, all housed in a single streamlined menu.

The result is not just efficiency, but clarity.

fredagain_tinydesk_selects-5-efc639212a8559a8d8a51ceb283b6e26c78efc1d.jpg

At the core of Fred’s advice is a shift in focus. When producers spend too much time comparing technical tools, they risk losing sight of what actually matters: the music itself.

He points out a common pitfall. You can get so caught up choosing between compressors or tweaking subtle settings that you stop asking the important questions. Does the chorus feel right? Is the chord progression emotionally effective? Is the track saying something?

These are the decisions that define a record, not which EQ you used.

By reducing options, you free up mental space to listen more deeply and make better creative choices.

That said, Fred doesn’t advocate for minimalism across the board. He draws a clear distinction between functional mixing tools and creative instruments.

While EQs, reverbs, and compressors may offer diminishing returns when endlessly compared, experimental plugins are a different story. New synths and unusual sound design tools can spark ideas, introduce happy accidents, and push a track in unexpected directions.

In his view, these playful, unpredictable plugins are worth exploring. They serve inspiration rather than perfection.

Fred’s message isn’t about restricting creativity. It’s about protecting it.

Choose a handful of plugins you genuinely like. Learn them deeply. Build your workflow around them. Then stop searching.

Because at the end of the day, no listener will ever ask which compressor you used. But they will feel whether your music connects.
