What You Are Getting
A genuine full-size silver microphone signed in bold black marker by Fred again.. (Frederick John Philip Gibson) — the two-time Grammy-winning British producer, DJ, and singer-songwriter widely regarded as the most influential electronic-music artist of his generation. The signature is sharp, high-contrast, and unmistakable, applied directly to the satin-finish microphone body where it photographs cleanly under any light.
The piece is Beckett (BAS) Authenticated — the gold standard for autograph authentication — and carries the tamper-evident holographic Beckett sticker with serial number BQ08820 applied to the mic shaft. The serial is independently verifiable in real time by scanning the adjacent QR code, which links directly to Beckett's online authentication database. This is third-party authentication, not seller opinion.
The lot ships as a complete display package: the signed microphone, the included clear acrylic hand display stand (a striking presentation piece that turns the mic into a finished display-ready object), and a Gauntlet Gallery letter of provenance documenting the consignment chain.

Authentication
This microphone has been authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS), one of the three universally accepted third-party autograph authentication houses in the world (alongside PSA/DNA and JSA). Beckett's authenticators are professional forensic signature examiners who compare submitted autographs against extensive exemplar databases, evaluating stroke order, pressure, flow, pen lifts, and other forensic characteristics that cannot be replicated by autopen or skilled forgers.
The authentication is permanently affixed to the mic body in two parts: a holographic tamper-evident sticker (which destroys itself if peeled) and a QR code linked to Beckett's online database. Scanning the QR code with any smartphone returns the live authentication record for serial BQ08820, including signer name, item description, and authentication date — verifiable in real time, by any buyer, at any moment, directly from Beckett's servers. This is not a paper COA that can be replicated — it is a live, third-party-hosted record.
About Fred again..
Fred again.. (real name Frederick John Philip Gibson, born 19 July 1993 in Balham, South London) is a British record producer, DJ, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist regarded as one of the most influential electronic-music artists of his generation. He began his career as a teenager in the studio of Brian Eno, who became his long-term mentor and creative collaborator after Gibson joined an a cappella group at Eno's London studio at age 16.
His career milestones include:
- 2020 Brit Award for Producer of the Year — the youngest recipient in the history of the award
- Two Grammy Awards at the 2024 ceremony: Best Dance/Electronic Album for Actual Life 3 (January 1 – September 9 2022), and Best Dance/Electronic Recording for "Rumble" with Skrillex and Flowdan
- 2024 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist
- Boiler Room London set (July 2022) — the third most-watched performance in Boiler Room's history, the moment that turned him from cult favourite into global headliner
- Coachella 2023 closing set with Skrillex and Four Tet, added at the last minute after Frank Ocean's departure — widely cited as one of the festival's all-time defining moments
- Sold-out Madison Square Garden performance with Skrillex and Four Tet (February 2023)
- Glastonbury 2023 debut and Bonnaroo 2024 headlining slot
- Production credits for Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Headie One, Halsey, Charli XCX, and others
- 2023 ambient-pop collaboration album with Brian Eno titled Secret Life
His "Actual Life" album trilogy — built from voice memos, sampled conversations, and emotionally direct production — redefined what electronic music could feel like in the post-pandemic era. Authenticated Fred again.. autographs are scarce in the secondary market: he tours infrequently, signs even less frequently, and his career trajectory continues to compound. This is exactly the type of memorabilia that ages well.

How does Gauntlet Gallery verify authenticity?
Every piece is reviewed against available authentication documentation before listing. For signed prints we cross-reference COA issuers, publisher records, edition counts, signature placement, and known release details. For music and space memorabilia we work with Beckett, JSA, PSA, and Zarelli Space Authentication. Items that cannot be documented to our standard are not listed.
How do you document condition?
We photograph each print under consistent lighting to show the actual paper, frame condition, ink saturation, and any aging or edge wear. Condition notes describe observable marks, foxing, deckle wear, or print aging in specific terms — not vague labels like "good." If a piece has a flaw that affects collectibility or value, we say so explicitly. Request additional close-ups before purchase.
How is the print packed and shipped?
Prints ship flat between two acid-free rigid boards inside a corrugated outer mailer with rigid corner protection. Larger prints over 24×30 may ship rolled inside a thick-walled tube with archival tissue. All shipments are insured for full value with tracked carrier service. Framed pieces ship in custom-cut wood crates with foam edge protection. Signature on delivery required over $500.
What documentation is included?
Original COAs, publisher certificates, third-party authentication letters, and Gauntlet Gallery condition reports ship with the artwork. Every piece also gets a blockchain-verified COA on Polygon via TrueCOA, permanently anchoring provenance. Specific documentation for each listing is noted in the product description.
Why buy from Gauntlet Gallery instead of a marketplace?
Marketplaces give access but leave buyers to judge authenticity, condition, pricing, and seller credibility alone. Gauntlet adds a trust layer through detailed photos, item history, condition notes, pricing context against 50,000+ market comps, fake-risk review, and blockchain-anchored documentation. Every listing is prepared by the same curator who sourced and reviewed the piece.
