Fred you are an absolute magician , touching and changing so many peoples lives . Such a beautiful man you are , thank you so so much for everything you do and I hope we get to meet you again . Bumped into you in Glasgow outside Sub club 🥲🧡 will never forget that moment . Seen you perform 3 times now and will Again In Hamburg ! 🥰 Your music is on another level and we listen to it nearly every day since we found you 🙏🏼
@@lepythagore3288 the meaning behind his music and the quality of each and every song is something not that many modern artists have in my opinion. The way he delivers his live performances by mixing it in and playing so much of it actually live. I really think he’s going to inspire a whole new generation of artists with his creativity. But that’s just my opinion and I’m very biased towards him hahahaha
@@rss8784-w6v Fair, I do think he's making cool music and has a distinct sound but I'm not really seeing how he's bringing something radically new to the table personally
@@lepythagore3288 what stands out to me is how intimate and raw a lot of his work feels. In a world where so much music (and media in general) is processed and manufactured, he's creating something that feels genuine & authentic that you can connect to on a more human level like nothing I've heard before.
It’s hard to put into words why I’m so drawn to his art. His music is so captivating and somehow feels inclusive. The energy and sense of community is really palpable. On a personal level his music just ticked so many boxes for me… this level of recognition is beyond deserved.
Totally agree. It feels nostalgic and surreal. It makes me long for a time long ago even though I can't place what exactly I'm even missing, probably because that distant memory isn't even real, just like a dream.
It's the authenticity for me. A breath of fresh air in the world of pressure, keeping up appearances and superficial conversations.He really seems to be iiving his best life
The second half with Fred actually touching the equipment and breaking down his music was sublime. Zane I’d love for you to do more interviews like this. Conversations but also space for them to share and explain their music.
I agree but most of the artists wouldn’t be able to articulate the production and compositional aspects of creating the sonics that goes into the creation process because they are not the ones performing and they have to maximize the person who’s names are on the marquee/selling tickets strengths.
It’s crazy cos when he talks about himself he’s quiet tense and gets quiet nervous (judging from his body language) but the second he speaks about music the cups down and he’s regains that confidence and you can tell music does a lot of good for him and really helps him just as much as his music helps everyone else ❤️
crying because of the joy he feels when he does this. THIS IS WHAT MUSIC SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL. pure love, pure emotion. He embodies passion more than anyone I’ve ever witnessed in this industry.
That look at 41:55 is pure admiration and Zane knowing how special this moment right there is and what this beautiful human is creating right in front of him. What an incredible conversation (cause this is no ordinary interview, don't be mistaken!)
Zane is like that conversation you have in a random kitchen at 4am, with a stranger, who's now your soulmate, after you've double dropped and are levelling out
This man is a wordly treasure. How lucky are we to live at the same time as him and his music? Went from not knowing who he was 2 months ago to listening to him for at least a half hour a day every day since the boiler room set went live.
Fred is that once in a generation kind of guy. The way he uses dead vocal space to heighten the message of what he’s trying to say takes talent. Fred saved my life and I’ll forever owe that to him.
@@observermanj8904 no point anyone answering this because if you ask it in the first place you clearly lack understanding and/or experience, to say the least.
Fred is pure and the environment he creates exudes nothing but that: Purity and ecstatic connection. He's given us hope and a galvanizing sonic community during such a time of reckoning, personally and collectively. Weirdly enough, last night I had a dream I hung out with him. He sat me down and played some of his new music and asked what I thought. I woke up aching that it wasn't "actual life". Glad I have this video to pretend I'm Zane Lowe to haha See you guys at Fred's next NYC party!
I loved when Fred talked about making music in a club using headphones with noise cancellation and then shutting everything out yet being able to observe everything so beautifully. I did this at a festival I attended a few weeks ago. I was honestly not having the best night. I was trying to find my friends in a different camp but being too drunk and tired I ultimately just gave up and thought to myself I had to head home for the night and come back tomorrow. So for the first time ever during a festival I put on my headphones, pumped the volume all the way up, and put on Delilah (pull me out of this). Ironically that was probably the moment I remember the most from that 7-day festival. I felt like I became one with the music and my whole body just wanted to move. Walking through that festival alone and observing my surroundings while listening to Fred was just so incredibly beautiful - like I felt like I was in a movie. Thank you Fred for blessing us with your art
I literally only stumbled across Fred in the last few weeks and it's blowing my mind seeing how much thought and introspection he has for the music and his way of creative thinking. Fascinating and inspiring!
He’s like the polar opposite of artists who write a song and hardly ever listen to/ play them again. He constantly revisits and re works pieces. Truly unique and intriguing!
17:08 I am obsessed with the thought of keeping that childlike enthusiasm alive. The world has many unique and unknown things that invoke emotions in us. A kid is not thinking about how x will help me to do y. A kid is just experiencing that moment and emotion in its full glory. I can definitely feel this captured and expressed in Fred's music.
When I listen to Fred, he pulls the most intense emotions out of my soul. Always releasing, enlightening and purifying. Such authenticity and substance. Around 6:15 he puts into words exactly how his music makes me feel- “Taking life’s fleeting moments and trying to expose as much beauty as is -in them. Like watching a hummingbird in slow motion, a whole new emotional framing.”
i listened to the last speech twice because i couldn't believe what i was listening to. all of this interview is pure magic. i started to listen and know about fred this last two months and he is making me feels thing about music that i've never felt. this guy is literally changing the industry
one of the greatest interviews ive ever witnessed honestly, zane lowe is a gift to the collective creative community. such a compassionate and empathetic guide on conversations that can only be had when you really feel like what you're sharing is being understood, appreciated, and unjudged. love this man so much
Fred has taken the most pivotal step of his life by owning his music & unleashing his talent as his own. I think he clearly has a unique personality and he probably recently understood that this fact, in fact, does well for an artist’s public image.
Don't know why, but this video made me cry. I adore it when I see people so passionate about their craft and go the extra mile to inspire others, like Fred does. Needed this video, truly
this entire interview was so inspiring and moving. i discovered Fred around last year and have been so incredibly in love with the way he produces and samples his songs. hearing him explain this entire thing and the different stories behind his music was beautiful. i could tell he was a bit nervous in the beginning, probably because he's never done such a big interview before but he did such a great job and i loved every bit of this conversation. i'm now taking in all the things he said. thank you Zane for interviewing Fred. i cannot wait to see him live in berlin this november. this show will probably be a very emotional one for me! much love
No words can accurately describe the love I have for this man, his mind and music. Nothing has provoked such a variety of emotions in me as Fred’s music and energy has. The best part about it all is that I don’t think he even realises how good he is and why he is so loved, he’s just doing what he enjoys. 💙
Spot on! Feel the same… the emotion, the connection you feel… he’s really got something special. I’m blown away by him as a person too. I just want to have a few beers with him for an hour! Actual Life complete ❤️💛💙
That moment at 40:59 just created tingles right up my spine and now down my arms. It’s those moments where music can just stop all the talking/thoughts/ideas in your brain and you just become absorbed by music. Those are the moments I love the most.
41:50 just seeing zane absolutely mesmerized by fred's talent is such a beautiful thing to see, when he looks at fred you can tell he really is looking at a masterpiece.
Still riding the high on life from getting to see/meet him earlier this month. This man and his work are true treasures of our time and I'm grateful to be a part of it. Thank you for all your beautiful contributions Fred, may you shine in greatness as bright as you deserve.
As a person who discovered Fred Again via the boiler room set, it’s talked about in the last part of the video. Around 46:00 in the “Being Present in the Moment” part. 👍🏽👍🏽
41:29 As someone who has been fortunate to see him live… this part gives me chills. You can just tell by Zanes reaction… I can only wish everyone who is a fan of his music gets the chance to. This guy is something special. Biiiiig big love. Thank you Fred!
My AL3 vinyl just shipped today, so excited for it. This man is really drawing me in, I love the vibes, I love the depth, the titles "Actual Life" really summarises what all those samples are about, it's emotional, it's reflective, it makes you fall into it. Fred man, you're a star dude, loving your work!
Good ol Fred. One of the true gems of our generation of music. I think a lot of people can relate with this, but both your albums helped me through some really, really rough times. What a great human and musician. We cherish the gift you have given us.
Everytime I have a bad mood or something is off in my mind I open this video and play it from 36:55 and everything seems to be ok all of a sudden, thank you Fred you inspire me so much
That two minute speech at the end is exactly what I think when I’m in the supermarket ( weirdly specific) going down the escalator and I can’t put it into words. It’s like I’m greatful those things happened around me and to me because it means I can understand people more so than others and you have a more deeper connection to life even though it comes with stress like anxieties- it is counteracted with the ability to relate to others and see through people and read how they are feeling( emphasise) quite easily.
One of the best interviews I have watched to-date. Felt like I was in the room with them. The conversation beautifully flows and I feel that sense of connection, and for once I totally understand the emotions from other side of the screen. Grateful to be living in a time as Fred, to not just know his music but to also know his character and his love for the craft. To know tiny details of his life has definitely been a life changing experience for me. He inspires me to love what I do without being hard on myself but to only enjoy and grow.
Met Fred on my 21st birthday a few days ago. Genuine guy, very kind, he wished me happy birthday when i met him and during the concert because i was front row. Cheers mate.
Two artists speak to my soul. Ben Howard, and now luckily Fred Again has added to that list. I don't even want it explaining, I just enjoy it beyond belief. What a man!
Fred is my inspiration. His music guided me through my awakening and now I want to start doing something similar and help others express their emotions through music. I’m starting college to study psychology to get a deeper understanding about frequency’s and how they affect the human brain. This could be life changing for the EDM world. Thank you Fred ❤
One of the most inspiring talks I've ever heard. I now realise why Fred has resonated with me ever since I first started picking up his songs and performances... thank you for being such an inspiration and thank you Zane for creating such an intimate atmosphere.
I love this interview! I genuinely feel so connected to his music and what he expresses. Fred Again's music hits me deeply, It's like he's speaking right to your soul through the speakers, making his music more than just a sound - it's an experience. What an amazing artist, I'm so glad I get to live his development and upcoming tracks!!!
"you can't make projects called 'Actual Life,' and then get mad when actual life presents itself" 👏👏👏❤❤❤ beautiful quote and the perfect summation of the Boiler Room set. Part of the magic that is Fred again..
When zane says that in a strange way rappers or singers are manifesting there reality through song, it’s because they are seeing and feeling what they are channeling at that moment and in that moment there hearts are open and their energy field is open to receive so that’s a message sent out into the universe amplified with emotion and speech 🙏🏼 beautiful
His ability to draw from his own emotional experiences, all of it, and communicate that in such a life affirming way through his music, is unparalelled. Beautiful Stephen Colbert quote at the end, to feel gratitude for *all* of life’s experiences … this guy is wise beyond his years, like a Buddha ✨✨✨
Zane is my favorite music interviewer ever, from like the dawn of media up through today. He understands art and people on a level that matches the artists he interviews
We are immeasurably grateful for you. I can't possibly put in to words how much your music has helped me, life's been tough recently, it's helped lift my spirits.
That last moment with Colbert in the background, speaks to such a universally, terribly wondrous part of all of this. Stoked to see that bleed into more of Fred’s work.
@@eofvib3 I'm late to the question, but I recognised the other voice was Anderson Cooper and found it by searching "Stephen Colbert Anderson Cooper Suffering"
I feel like music is supposed to give you a ride to somewhere, building up your view of that place, letting you know it properly until you leave it to rejoin it again someday. There are places you like to place more than others, obviously. Fred makes such a good environment that I keep on getting in it over and over again. Thanks for that.
Experienced a wide spectrum of EDM since the early nineties. Have an ear for the right notes and bars...had my favourite artists and influencers over the years...but this man...this guy...is UNREAL. On a different level
I listened to Actual Life today for the first time. The intro I was hooked then, Kyle (I Found You), came on. I was flooded with so many memories and then found myself thinking of my current friend group. I am so grateful for them and for the life I have. I was getting ready for my stream and listening to this song on repeat. I then decided to play those two tracks on my intro and then had everyone asking "WHAT IS THIS!!" I went on camera and finished out the track. I began to talk about the feelings and things in my head and could not hold back the emotion. Today Fred Again made me feel something I haven't felt in a long time. I learned something today. I found you. I thank you.
The way he describes his approach, trying to capture those fleeting special moments and stretch them out for as long as possible is so accurate. The inexplicable feeling you get when you hear his music is so rare yet happens every time I play it. Beautiful, special talent.
Zane, it is a true gift for you to have captured something so special through this interview. The way you both interacted through conversation on the couch is something I search for everyday. It wasn’t only an interview. It wasn’t hard to see the emotions bouncing off the walls through every next question you presented. More than conversation, what you were able to put into just 1 hour of time has me deep in thought and inspired…almost as much as when I listen to the newest drop from Fred. 😂 the way you and Fred interact makes me desire so much to share that kind of interaction but I know those times are to come in my own life. Thank you for creating this piece of art, I’m sure I will be viewing it over and over again!
What he described from the 6 minute mark is what I've been doing with playlists for the past 12 years! I describe it as capturing the "in-between moments" and personifying them through music.
I am so grateful to have found this. Fred again is not only a genius but an incredible human💕 Hadn't finished the interview yet and the interview he played at the end got me...wow!!! ❤
Fred Again.. is in a class of his own. If you ever get a chance to see him live, don't hesitate. My god, his sets are an emotional roller coaster. I saw him at Coachella and then back here in Chicago at Lolla. You know an artist is unique when they can bring out the tears and dancing at the same time. And I hope he gets royalties from Native Instruments. I ended up buying a Maschine Plus. I know he kind of moved to the AKAI, but both are so much fun!
The way Fred uses these “drones” notes an voices makes it feel so familiar, relatable, and in some way intrusive to your feelings the songs feel part of you in the moment, I got lost in my thoughts, kind of like in the chaos I found you, I’ve been lost, put you loving arms around me and in the end I adore you (me)
been obsessed with music since forever, have used it as a mental lifeline as much as a career path, and I've never come across works that have moved me as much as Fred again's have.. truly life changing for me
that boiler room set is so beautiful.. the amazing songs and having the people so close + fred performing, i love it.. its love in a video, wish i was there.
Zane was the voice of radio for me when I was growing up. So to do my first in depth interview like this wit him was a total honour. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
What a wonderful hour this is.
You deserve it all Fred!
You're genius
Thank you for being you and showing that through your music.❤️
Fred you are an absolute magician , touching and changing so many peoples lives . Such a beautiful man you are , thank you so so much for everything you do and I hope we get to meet you again . Bumped into you in Glasgow outside Sub club 🥲🧡 will never forget that moment . Seen you perform 3 times now and will Again In Hamburg ! 🥰
Your music is on another level and we listen to it nearly every day since we found you 🙏🏼
When Zane says "Don't stop, don't stop!" @39:24. Phoof. Speaking for every viewer in every way. This whole thing was pure joy.
Yeah man ....!!!! Can we please get a kinda jungle remix of that track....that would be awesome
Could have listened to that for an hour
just a huge eargasm
Pls make a song

@@tomford7012 absolutely spot on this, couldn’t agree more mate🙏🏻
It’s hard to put into words why I’m so drawn to his art. His music is so captivating and somehow feels inclusive. The energy and sense of community is really palpable. On a personal level his music just ticked so many boxes for me… this level of recognition is beyond deserved.
I love all of what you have said here.. couldn't agree more
the way you put it is really beautiful
Totally agree. It feels nostalgic and surreal. It makes me long for a time long ago even though I can't place what exactly I'm even missing, probably because that distant memory isn't even real, just like a dream.
What you said bro greatly put it +100
It's the authenticity for me. A breath of fresh air in the world of pressure, keeping up appearances and superficial conversations.He really seems to be iiving his best life

To know tiny details of his life has definitely been a life changing experience for me. He inspires me to love what I do without being hard on myself but to only enjoy and grow.
This guy man.
So unique. So talented. I’ve never felt emotion the way I do when I hear his music
Met Fred on my 21st birthday a few days ago. Genuine guy, very kind, he wished me happy birthday when i met him and during the concert because i was front row. Cheers mate.
Actual Life 1 literally changed my life. There’s just something different about Fred’s music. Something we can’t quite explain but are all aware of
How perfect to have you two sitting down together - Fred, your music changed my life❤
I don't know Fred personally but he just radiates this beautiful energy. What a special human being.
Two artists speak to my soul. Ben Howard, and now luckily Fred Again has added to that list. I don't even want it explaining, I just enjoy it beyond belief. What a man!
Didn’t expect to see Benny boi’s name here! On the same page my man
Fred is my inspiration. His music guided me through my awakening and now I want to start doing something similar and help others express their emotions through music. I’m starting college to study psychology to get a deeper understanding about frequency’s and how they affect the human brain. This could be life changing for the EDM world. Thank you Fred ❤
One of the most inspiring talks I've ever heard. I now realise why Fred has resonated with me ever since I first started picking up his songs and performances... thank you for being such an inspiration and thank you Zane for creating such an intimate atmosphere.
I love this interview! I genuinely feel so connected to his music and what he expresses. Fred Again's music hits me deeply, It's like he's speaking right to your soul through the speakers, making his music more than just a sound - it's an experience. What an amazing artist, I'm so glad I get to live his development and upcoming tracks!!!
"you can't make projects called 'Actual Life,' and then get mad when actual life presents itself" 👏👏👏❤❤❤
beautiful quote and the perfect summation of the Boiler Room set. Part of the magic that is Fred again..
When zane says that in a strange way rappers or singers are manifesting there reality through song, it’s because they are seeing and feeling what they are channeling at that moment and in that moment there hearts are open and their energy field is open to receive so that’s a message sent out into the universe amplified with emotion and speech 🙏🏼 beautiful
Fred is a breath of fresh air in modern music 🙌🙏
@39:11 Is the face of a man who is in total disbelief of what he has just witnessed in a good way. Fantastic.
His ability to draw from his own emotional experiences, all of it, and communicate that in such a life affirming way through his music, is unparalelled. Beautiful Stephen Colbert quote at the end, to feel gratitude for *all* of life’s experiences … this guy is wise beyond his years, like a Buddha ✨✨✨
Zane is my favorite music interviewer ever, from like the dawn of media up through today. He understands art and people on a level that matches the artists he interviews
We are immeasurably grateful for you. I can't possibly put in to words how much your music has helped me, life's been tough recently, it's helped lift my spirits.
Fred Again has been one of my most fav artist this year. Please keep up the great work!
He’s so down to earth which is so refreshing for someone so talented to be. One of the worlds best producers
That last moment with Colbert in the background, speaks to such a universally, terribly wondrous part of all of this. Stoked to see that bleed into more of Fred’s work.
That Stephen Colbert speech at the end with the Brian Eno drones in the background was utterly mesmerizing.
do you know where to find the one he's playing? can't find this only whole speech without this music
@@eofvib3 I am also looking, and can't find it on UA-cam. Maybe it was a TikTok? Please let me know if you find it.
@@eofvib3 I'm late to the question, but I recognised the other voice was Anderson Cooper and found it by searching "Stephen Colbert Anderson Cooper Suffering"
I feel like music is supposed to give you a ride to somewhere, building up your view of that place, letting you know it properly until you leave it to rejoin it again someday.
There are places you like to place more than others, obviously. Fred makes such a good environment that I keep on getting in it over and over again. Thanks for that.
I’ve never smiled so much watching two people talk. Thank you both.
Every part of this was beautiful and reminds me why I love music so much.
Thank god we have you both.
moves me to tears this guy is so pure
Experienced a wide spectrum of EDM since the early nineties. Have an ear for the right notes and bars...had my favourite artists and influencers over the years...but this man...this guy...is UNREAL. On a different level
Legit one of the best artists to come out in years. The relaxed power he transmits is heartblowing
Fred Again is such a fresh new breath of air..............shout from South Africa
The raw energy and soul defining music - a musical genius
I listened to Actual Life today for the first time. The intro I was hooked then, Kyle (I Found You), came on. I was flooded with so many memories and then found myself thinking of my current friend group. I am so grateful for them and for the life I have. I was getting ready for my stream and listening to this song on repeat. I then decided to play those two tracks on my intro and then had everyone asking "WHAT IS THIS!!" I went on camera and finished out the track. I began to talk about the feelings and things in my head and could not hold back the emotion. Today Fred Again made me feel something I haven't felt in a long time. I learned something today. I found you. I thank you.
The greatest. Grateful to have been on this journey and to witness this magic!! Love you Fred
39:09 BROOOOOOO , just wild skills
this almost feels like free therapy in a weird way, these two are incredible
so grateful we get to have these amazing interviews available to us for free
He makes ZERO sense and COMPLETE sense at the same time! Legend!
What a beautiful human being! Creating music thst spans generations and changing the face of dance music in a pure way.
The way he describes his approach, trying to capture those fleeting special moments and stretch them out for as long as possible is so accurate. The inexplicable feeling you get when you hear his music is so rare yet happens every time I play it. Beautiful, special talent.
Watch this after watching the boiler room set and I fall in love so hard with his music & his personality. Shout out to Rodney!
Didn’t want the creative process part to end. The story telling and music is incredible
Thank god you've come to the party & can display your amazing talent, you are rare & people like you only come around once in a lifetime
Zane, it is a true gift for you to have captured something so special through this interview. The way you both interacted through conversation on the couch is something I search for everyday. It wasn’t only an interview. It wasn’t hard to see the emotions bouncing off the walls through every next question you presented. More than conversation, what you were able to put into just 1 hour of time has me deep in thought and inspired…almost as much as when I listen to the newest drop from Fred. 😂 the way you and Fred interact makes me desire so much to share that kind of interaction but I know those times are to come in my own life. Thank you for creating this piece of art, I’m sure I will be viewing it over and over again!
What he described from the 6 minute mark is what I've been doing with playlists for the past 12 years! I describe it as capturing the "in-between moments" and personifying them through music.
protect this boy at all costs
I am so grateful to have found this. Fred again is not only a genius but an incredible human💕
Hadn't finished the interview yet and the interview he played at the end got me...wow!!! ❤
Fred took me to one of the worst months of my life. I thank him for all he's done and I hope I will sometime in the future him live!
Fred Again.. is in a class of his own. If you ever get a chance to see him live, don't hesitate. My god, his sets are an emotional roller coaster. I saw him at Coachella and then back here in Chicago at Lolla. You know an artist is unique when they can bring out the tears and dancing at the same time.
And I hope he gets royalties from Native Instruments. I ended up buying a Maschine Plus. I know he kind of moved to the AKAI, but both are so much fun!
The way Fred uses these “drones” notes an voices makes it feel so familiar, relatable, and in some way intrusive to your feelings the songs feel part of you in the moment, I got lost in my thoughts, kind of like in the chaos I found you, I’ve been lost, put you loving arms around me and in the end I adore you (me)
This is my favorite short on UA-cam. I never skip it.
been obsessed with music since forever, have used it as a mental lifeline as much as a career path, and I've never come across works that have moved me as much as Fred again's have.. truly life changing for me
that boiler room set is so beautiful.. the amazing songs and having the people so close + fred performing, i love it.. its love in a video, wish i was there.
Zane’s facial expression at 41:55 captures everything you need to know about this interview
This is the comment I was looking for! 💯
Fred again - Kyle (I found you)
