The USB002 run is built around surprise and immediacy — a short, rolling series of pop-up shows that blur the line between club set and concert. In Vancouver, that format translates into a tightly focused night: modular staging, evolving mixes, and the kind of sequencing that treats each crowd reaction as part of the composition. Expect a program that folds new drops into familiar beats, designed to land in the moment and expand on what a live electronic performance can feel like.

At the centre of it all, Fred again.. drives the evening with a producer’s ear and a performer’s timing — sampling crowd energy, stretching motifs, and letting songs breathe into fresh shapes. His sets often pivot between cathartic peaks and hushed interludes, pulling the room through texture and emotion rather than straight narrative. Backed by precise visuals and a live rig that emphasises immediacy, his performance style turns the audience into a collaborator: reactive, present, and often surprised.

Vancouver’s Convention Centre (West Building) is a fitting host for USB002 — big enough to hold widescreen production but intimate enough for Fred’s set-by-set spontaneity to cut through. The city’s late-night music crowd and club culture make it a natural match for a show that behaves like club theatre one night and anthemic live set the next. If you’re in Vancouver on Nov 28, expect focused sound, pulsing visuals, and an evening that feels less like a static performance and more like a living, shifting experience.
