Overview
- The livestream, which began Tuesday at 1 p.m. local time, is running on YouTube under the title “making a mixtape with latin mafia and staying here until we finish it” and will continue until the artists complete the project.
- The mixtape grew from a spontaneous December 11–12, 2025 session in Mexico City that was filmed beneath a Boris Acket fabric installation and released as the 35-minute film under the fabric on July 26.
- Fred again.. and LATIN MAFIA say they have worked on ideas together for years and decided to consolidate those scattered pieces into a single, cohesive release by finishing it in the trio’s home city.
- LATIN MAFIA are brothers Emilio, Milton and Mike de la Rosa and the collaborators stress a family-like chemistry that they say shaped the sound and helped the material cohere quickly.
- The open, indefinite stream follows Fred’s recent USB002 run and reflects a wider trend of artists using live feeds to demystify production and offer direct fan engagement, which could change how collaborative projects are developed and released.
