Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA Release Mexico City USB002 Set
Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA release their Mexico City USB002 DJ set exclusively on Apple Music, completing the three-part mix series in Spatial Audio
Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA’s Mexico City USB002 DJ set is now available exclusively on Apple Music in Spatial Audio. Recorded on December 11, 2025, the set features a special appearance from the Mexican trio and captures the final stop of Fred again..’s ten-week USB002 run. The performance would later become an important part of the story behind their collaborative mixtape, 9 months & 50 hours.
From the USB002 Booth to “9 months & 50 hours”
The USB002 run was built around ten songs released across ten cities, with each stop taking on its own character. In Mexico City, LATIN MAFIA joined Fred again.. inside the booth in front of their hometown crowd, bringing the two acts together months before their full collaborative project was released.

That connection eventually developed into 9 months & 50 hours, which was released on July 31, 2026 as a 14-track mixtape. In the days leading up to its release, Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA spent around 50 hours completing the project during a livestream from Mexico City, allowing viewers to follow the recording process as it happened.
The project later continued into a sold-out show at Palacio de los Deportes, where more than 20,000 attendees saw the pair perform together following the livestream. That wider run gives the newly released USB002 set more context, capturing one of the earlier moments in a collaboration that eventually grew into a full mixtape and live show.
The Final Release in Fred again..’s USB002 Apple Music Series
The Mexico City mix completes a trio of USB002 performances released through Apple Music, following sets recorded in Lyon and Toronto. The Lyon set featured Floating Points and Caribou, while the Toronto performance brought Fred again.. together with Four Tet. All three are available on demand through Apple Music.
With the third release now available, the series gives listeners three different snapshots of the wider USB002 run while also returning to the night in Mexico City that preceded Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA’s biggest collaborative project so far. The Mexico City USB002 DJ set can now be streamed exclusively on Apple Music in Spatial Audio.
