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 come back just to listen to 55:40 whenever I am having a rough day. Thank you Fred.

You can't not love this dude. Thank you for coming into our lives Fred!

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

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!

This has to be one of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time. I was left in tears at the end. Thank you Fred and Zane.

Have loved Fred Again.. for some time now. Love to see him getting the recognition he deserves. Truly an insanely talented artist.

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

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!

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!

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 again - Kyle ( i found you)

I love Fred so so so much. He’s so authentic and emotionally tapped in. His music truly highlights what it means to be a human experiencing life

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.

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.”

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.

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

How perfect to have you two sitting down together - Fred, your music changed my life❤

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. 👍🏽👍🏽

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.

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

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 ✨✨✨

He makes ZERO sense and COMPLETE sense at the same time! Legend!

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

The greatest. Grateful to have been on this journey and to witness this magic!! Love you Fred

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.

The way Zane looks at Fred 41:56 speaks volumes of the levels of astonishment and respect he has for him

Those 58 minutes felt like another world, especially those last 2 mins. Thankyou Zane and thankyou Fred.

You can see at 41:58 when Zane realizes just how special Fred is and what amazing creative prowess he is bringing to the music scene

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.

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!

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.

Fred is a breath of fresh air in modern music 🙌🙏

This guy man. So unique. So talented. I’ve never felt emotion the way I do when I hear his music

58 mins of being speechless, having goosebumps and feeling inspired. Thanks Fred and Zane! LOVE! ❤️💙🙏🏼

I’ve never smiled so much watching two people talk. Thank you both.

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. 💙

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.

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.

Absolutely loved this. Thank you for bringing it to us.

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's face at 39:07 is a mixture of astonishment and euphoria and shock

True Genius!... Fred Again is truly the most talented, DJ, composer and producer of this generation. FRED Play that track AGAIN..

This man is a genuine talent. Combine that with his dedication to his craft and you've got someone who comes along once in a generation. Not only that, he is humble, kind and a great listener - which i think informs his music. People like him (not just musicians) can change people's lives. They radiate kindness and their energy is revitalising. Watching him talk with Zane inspires me to keep creating and to be kind and humble wherever I go. Thank you Fred and Zane, for this absolute belter of an interview.

Love this guy, so talented

this almost feels like free therapy in a weird way, these two are incredible

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)

Zane interviews never fail because he connects with the artist on a different level it doesn’t feel like an interview just a chilled out conversation between two people! I would love to see Fred again live❤ I’ve only discovered him recently and I am so lucky that I did. He brings my faith in house/ dance music back. He is incredible! ❤

protect this boy at all costs

Fred again ist music from the people for the people.

What an absolute gem of a person. Legend in the making!

These 2 have such great chemistry, I could listen to them both for days

Jamming out/finger drumming is so much fun. The pure bliss of finding the little parts of vocals that just hit that pocket, and give you a dopamine release 🥴

Legit one of the best artists to come out in years. The relaxed power he transmits is heartblowing

Such an amazing conversation,how music can connect us more than anything. We’re all running on different frequencies but music can put us on the same wavelength and connect us in a way like nothing else can. For a moment we’re the same functioning organism. In a world of division and darkness…music is the energy..music is the spark ✨

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!!! ❤

Love this series Zane and Fred again is so so sick i have his boiler room on repeat daily!
