Fred V & Grafix are an English drum and bass duo made up of Frederick "Fred V" Vahrman (born 12 January 1990) and Joshua "Grafix" Jackson (born 14 June 1991). The duo was signed to Hospital Records and hailed from Devon, England. They have guested on BBC Radio 1 shows including Annie Mac. They released their debut album Recognise in 2014, which entered the UK Albums Chart at number 106. The album's second single "Forest Fires" (featuring Etherwood) entered the UK Singles Chart at number 77.
In December 2018, the duo announced their split and the continuation of their solo careers.[1]
On 11 May 2026, Drum and Bass record label Hospital Records (who Fred V and Grafix were signed to prior to their split) hinted at the duos possible imminent return in an Instagram post[2] on both Fred V and Grafix and Hospital Records pages.
On 12 May 2026, Fred V and Grafix officially confirmed their return with the revival of the track 'Rain is Falling', the last track they worked on (but never released) as a duo seven years ago before their split[3]. The song features vocals from Lottie Jones, who has previously been a vocalist on multiple of Fred V's independent songs[4].
