FRED AGAIN.. Berwyn | The future of electronic music
Fred Again.. does not stop, with his fetish singer, Dermot Kennedy, covers the wonderful song ‘Berwyn‘ from his magnificent album ‘After Life 3‘, with a mastery that positions him as the maximum exponent of current electronic music.
Who is Fred Again..?
Frederick John Philip Gibson, born in 1993 in London, is one of the great figures of electronic music today, as well as a multifaceted artist: record producer, singer, composer, instrumentalist and DJ.
By the way, he goes by the name of ‘Fred Again..‘ (including the two ellipses at the end), because he likes a line from Scooby-Doo movie that says just that: “I’m Fred again..“.
In 2019, Fred started a project entitled Actual Life, in which he collects samples from various sources: voice notes, social media clips, music from other artists, etc. and incorporates them into his own original tracks.
The series now consists of three parts:
- Actual Life (April 14 – December 17 2020)
- Actual Life 2 (February 2 – October 15 2021)
- Actual Life 3 (January 1 – September 9 2022)

When I started doing this type of sampling and stuff the feeling I loved was it feeling like a sort of collaborative diary. But I could never have anticipated like just how collaborative that feeling would become and how many people would share in it…

Fred Again.. ft Dermot Kennedy Berwyn | The story behind a beautiful song
Fred Again’s last album has a sequel called “Actual Life 3 Piano EP (January 1 – September 9 2022)” where he revisits some themes with a more intimate tone highlighting the piano.
In it is framed a song called “Berwyn (kennington tube)” to which Dermot Kennedy gives voice.
- In the first version of the song 4 artists participate: Fred Again.., BERWYN, Dermot Kennedy and Guante. This track is titled: ‘Berwyn (all that I got is you)’.
- here is also a new theme in which the sample of ‘Berwyn’ is used again. It is ‘Mike (desert island duvet)‘, which again features Dermot Kennedy, joined by Mike Skinner.
Although both are very good, in Trembol we highlight the piano version ‘Berwyn (kennington tube)‘ because the magnificent voice of the Irish Dermot Kennedy, an artist that Fred has always admired and with whom he already collaborated in his first album, in the song ‘Dermot (See Yourself In My Eyes)‘, can be appreciated even better.
Berwyn is a track steeped in feeling, making the bare piano melody version 🎹 perfect for it.
By the way, if you’re wondering, what does Berwyn mean, what does Berwyn mean?, well it turns out he’s a person, more specifically a singer from Trinidad and Tobago, who says he’s made of 50% water and 50% music.
Berwyn singer
Berwyn collaborated with Fred Again.. in the composition of the song, that’s why he named it after him, as the British artist usually does.
