Boring Divine pres. Lucas Abela ft. Matthew Taggart & Lara Dorling
2025-11-22 20:00 - 23:00 | _____g.s, Shop 13, 375 William Street, Boorloo, 6000
“Lucas is just captivating. It’s incredible how they can flip the feeling of a room upside down and sonically there’s just no other sound like theirs” – ZACH HILL. – Death Grips.
“One moment you hear John Coltrane playing a volcano, the next you hear a string section being squeezed through a toothpaste tube” – David Rees – The New York Times.
Maverick improviser; Lucas ’Granpa’ Abela’s (formerly Justice Yeldham) singular journey performing on shards of broken glass is the stuff of legend. For over twenty years now they have relentlessly toured the globe, the glass evolving over that time from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an incredibly versatile instrument producing organic outsider electronica. Played somewhat like a reed instrument, Abela vibrates the shards edge with their lips, producing both audio signal and control voltages. These feed a complex modular patch of parallel chains where the performance modulates itself to give the instrument the illusion of a ghostly accompaniment that together forms dense layers of anomalous music.
On 31st of October, Lucas Abela & Zach Hill released a collaborative album on Warp Records, “Bag of Max Bag of Cass”.
Lucas will have merch including a limited amount of the new LP on the night.

Raras Sukardi - Performance Residency
2025-11-24 - 2025-11-26 | _____g.s, Shop 13, 375 William Street, Boorloo, 6000
The return of our long-dormant DIY performance residency series is made possible in partnership with new studio space and gallery _____g.s.
This performance residency series is about offering a musician an opportunity to “sharpen the sword” and test experimental ideas through back-to-back nightly concerts. This is a rarity in Boorloo, where experimental gigs are still relatively infrequent. But it’s essential to some experimental music practices, which thrive on the energy brought by an audience.
We’re pleased to host Raras Sukardi for our first redux of this series. In recent years Raras has been determinedly researching freeform musics throughout Asia by travelling and collaborating. She usually works with suling, clarinet, tubes, noise & feedback. We don’t know what she’ll do for these shows yet. Come find out with us (:
_____g.s’s gallery space is very small, and these performance are deliberately low pressure & micro-scale. You need to book in advance to attend.
About Raras:
Raras Sukardi (she/her) is an Indonesian-born, Australian-raised clarinettist, actively exploring improvised and experimental music. Her Indonesian heritage shapes her identity, creating a deep sense of belonging and natural connection towards Indonesian culture, people, and land. This connection inspires her artistic journey, driving her to explore the interrelationship between art, nature, and spiritual energy. Currently engaged in clarinet teaching, Raras continually seeks to learn new techniques and broaden her community to deepen her artistic practice.
Accessibility:
The performances are held in a very small space which will likely feel crowded. Limited seating is available. Lighting may be dim. Performances may be very loud at times. The space is wheelchair accessible via the courtyard entrance, although the wheelchair accessible bathroom on-site is being serviced at the time of writing. Please feel free to write to info@tonelist.com.au if you have any accessibility concerns.

Fremantle Biennale: Whalefall
2025-11-27 - 2025-11-28 | Port Beach Shed, Cnr Tydeman Rd & Port Beach Rd, Fremantle, WA
Artists Ben Frost and Tom Mùller collaborate on Whalefall, a new temporary work conceived in response to the landmark Port Beach Shed — a skeletal, stand-alone structure that stands sentinel at the intersection of Tydeman and Port Beach Roads, gazing out over the vast Indian Ocean.
The work pays homage to a rare and solemn event: the appearance of a lone sperm whale, the largest of the toothed whales, which came dangerously close to Port Beach before becoming stranded on a sandbar near Rockingham. Despite efforts to assist, the whale died, leaving behind a haunting presence.
Whalefall transforms the existing edifice into a sanctuary of sound and light — a spectral memorial to this marine giant. The structure becomes an illuminated carcass, pulsing with sonic echoes that reference the whale’s extraordinary acoustic world. Sperm whales communicate and echolocate through powerful clicks, trumpets, and codas, with vocalisations reaching up to 230 decibels — the loudest of any animal on Earth.
In this work, Frost and Mùller evoke the ghostly resonance of these underwater signals, reimagining the shed as both a beacon and a requiem — a place where land meets sea, memory meets myth, and silence is filled with the language of giants.

Tone List presents Aviva Endean (Naarm) & Josten Myburgh, Making Out (Ngambri/Ngunnuwal) & Izzy French
2025-12-01 19:00 - 21:30 | Local and Aesthetic, 769 Beaufort St, Mount Lawley, WA, 6050
Tone List presents a lineup of interstate-local collaborations at Local & Aesthetic. Two high-contrast duos exploring thoughtful blends of electro-acoustic sound, one dynamic & noisy, the other evasive & subtle.
Aviva Endean & Josten Myburgh have recently been experimenting with a duo language that combines softly humming layers of electronics generated by sustain pedals, under their acoustic clarinet & saxophone. Playing at whisper-quiet volumes and gliding in and out of silence, the electronic tones are like a mirage behind the acoustic layer: all the sounds weaved together, almost indistinguishable. This is their first live performance of this project after recording it on Dja Dja Wurrung Country earlier this year.
Making Out (Rosa Bassett) and Izzy French meet for the first time in a first-meeting performance. With a shared investment in noise, electro-acoustic improvisation and experimental rock music, both artists employ games, restrictions and challenges to discover new possibilities in improvisation and composition, and are active organisers in their respective scenes. They work with aesthetics that can at times be bracing & brutal and at others dynamic, intense and unusual. Lots of alignments – but as they’ve never played before we will only find out what they’ll do on the night.

WWIMakeshift
2025-12-12 16:00 - 21:00 | King Street Arts Centre, 357 - 365 Murray St, Perth, WA, 6000
~~ Making, co-posing, rupturing, overlapping, permeating, percolating …~~
If you came to WIMMake-shift last year, this one is slightly different! A 2 hr workshop will be facilitated by the very special AliceC and Annika Moses, artists who bring their brilliant knowledge and passion for improvisation, embodiment, movement and sound. Following this is a 1-hr long open improvisational performance for workshop participants, with an audience. Everyone is welcome to join the workshop (RSVP below!) and the performance is for public viewing!
AliceC says
‘Through my love and commitment to improvisation, I am interested in cultivating practices that shift, transform and elucidate states of moving and being.’
Alice is an interdisciplinary artist, working in dance, film, performance and installation, with a 40 year history of contemporary performance making. She is a provocative and versatile performer whose enduring aesthetic enquiry into the moving body creates work that interrogates and disrupts social and cultural narratives. The materiality of her work emerges from an attention to inner and outer worlds, inviting an intimacy with the body and place, wrestling an entwinement of personal/artistic, colonial and planetary histories. Alice has been an educator and mentor to a generation of Australian artists, influencing diverse disciplines of dance, theatre, writing, sound, visual art, sculpture and film making. Since returning to Boorloo/Perth in 2022 she has been actively engaged with STRUT Dance teaching and mentoring young and mid-career artists. Her most recent work terra first realised as performance, Holmes à Court Gallery, Perth (2024) and further film iterations by Cobie Orger with global distribution as a 3-channel 4K video installation and single channel HD video.
Annika says
‘Every musician has a body, though Western music has spent centuries trying to obscure this fact, and every movement artist makes sound. Since the beginning of my improv practice in 2016, I have been curious about the ways musicians and movement artists can get slippery with those labels, cultivating curiosity in the between-space that is neither Sound nor Dance but something more like Listen.’
Annika lives and makes on Whadjuk Noongar land in Boorloo (Perth), so-called Australia. On this land she also likes to write, play, listen, and sew. Annika contributes to the musical projects Nika Mo, Great Statue, Didion’s Bible and Lyndon Blue, and is co-director of Boorloo-based exploratory music org Tone List. She has developed a practice of improvisation alongside sound-makers and movers since 2018.

Tone List presents Will Guthrie (Naarm/France), Flora Carbo (Naarm) & Radiation
2025-12-20 19:30 - 22:00 | _____g.s, Shop 13, 375 William Street, Boorloo, 6000
For the noise heads & jazz fiends alike we are stoked to present a concert headed up by one of the world’s most jaw-dropping drum kit players, Will Guthrie, joined by prolific Naarm-based saxophonist Flora Carbo & elusive ambient noise duo Radiation.
Will Guthrie‘s drum solos are unbelievable in their combination of head-nodding rhythmic intensity, hardcore physicality and unashamed virtuosity. At the same time as being brutal workouts they are undeniably nuanced and driven by a synthesis of influences as diverse as chopped & screwed hip hop, rhythmic avant-jazz, classic electroacoustic music, noise & gamelan music. Will has released on Black Truffle Records, Erstwhile, Editions Mego and many others, played with legends from Mark Simmonds and Roscoe Mitchell to Richard Dawson, Oren Ambarchi and Mark Fell, and founded Naarm’s celebrated institution, the Make It Up Club. After some knock-out sets more than a decade ago in Boorloo under Tura’s stewardship, we are thrilled to bring Will back to the west coast.
https://will-guthrie.com/
Flora Carbo is among the continent’s most recognised and exciting young jazz saxophonists, and an unbridled lover of music & music community. Her saxophone playing is grounded in melody and the voice-like qualities of the instrument. Flora’s solo sets piece together folk-like tunes, wobbly electronics & drum machines in a mix that recalls Arthur Russell’s evasiveness, the Art Ensemble of Chicago’s playfulness, the moody thrill of a late-night trad session, and the intimacy of singer-songwriter performance. The recipient of multiple awards and commendations for her involvement in the jazz scene, Flora’s recent solo performances sit in a new, emerging place in her broad practice.
https://floracarbo.com/
Radiation are the duo of June Last & Nathan Kelly on synthesizers & guitar respectively, layering distorted string skronk and submerged melodic waves. Their recent cassette publications on New Hesperia are captivating, textured & mysterious.

Will Guthrie: Poly-rhythmic / Poly-metric
2025-12-21 11:00 - 13:00 | _____g.s, Shop 13, 375 William Street, Boorloo, 6000
Join renowned Australian drummer Will Guthrie for an in-depth workshop exploring polyrhythmic and polymetric techniques in contemporary percussion. Drawing on his collaborations with Mark Simmonds and Mark Fell, as well as influences from Gamelan traditions and Carnatic rhythmic systems, Guthrie will guide participants through complex rhythmic concepts in both theory and practice. This session is ideal for drummers, electronic musicians, and rhythmically curious artists interested in pushing time beyond the grid.
Please bring: Your instrument. For drummers it’s recommended to just bring one smaller instrument rather than a full kit. A PA is available if required. Keep it simple 🙂

About Will
Will Guthrie is an Australian drummer / percussionist living in France. He plays solo using different combinations of drums, percussion, amplification and electronics, and leads the contemporary hybrid percussion / gamelan group ENSEMBLE NIST-NAH. His music has been released on labels such as Black Truffle, Editions Mego, Erstwhile, Clean Feed, Gaffer Records, Hasana Editions, 23five, iDEAL and his own label Antboy Music.
Guthrie first made a name for himself within the Australian jazz scene, establishing himself at a young age as a major presence by winning the Wangaratta National Jazz Awards for drums in 1997 and going on to perform with many of Australia’s most celebrated jazz musicians such as Mark Simmonds, Julien Wilson and Ren Walters. In the new millennium, his work took a long detour away from the drum kit through junk electronics, extreme amplification and electro-acoustic techniques, documented on a series of solo and collaborative recordings from these years.
Alongside continuing his electro-acoustic work, in the last decade, Guthrie has returned to the drums with a vengeance, developing a series of solo works marked by a radical single-mindedness, from relentless rhythmic workouts to earth-quaking explorations of the bass frequencies of gongs and other metal percussion instruments. In the crowded world of free jazz/improv percussion, Guthrie’s work is distinguished from the delicately pointillist approach of much European improvisation by its rhythmic sophistication, unashamed virtuosity and undeniable physicality, touching on aspects of world musics from Javanese gamelan to South Indian Carnatic music.
As a dedicated grassroots and DIY concert organiser, while still a student in Melbourne Guthrie (alongside Ren Walters) established the weekly concert series ‘Improvised Tuesdays’, now known as the Make It Up Club, Australia’s longest running performance series for improvised and experimental music. On moving to Nantes, Guthrie joined the collective CABLE#, curating and organising regular concerts and an annual festival.
Guthrie has released over 50 Albums, as both soloist and in collaboration, on labels such as his own Antboy Music, and also Black Truffle, Editions Mego, Gaffer Records, Ideal, Ipacac and Clean Feed. He has performed at countless venues and festivals all over the world including Lieu Unique (Nantes), Cafe Oto (London), Berghain (Berlin), Super Deluxe (Tokyo), SPRING Performing Arts Festival (Utrecht), Meta House (Phnom Penh), MONA FONA (Hobart), Suoni Per Il Popolo (Montreal), Lampo (Chicago), Oct Loft Jazz Happening (Shenzhen) and the Geometry Of Now (Moscow).
Regular collaborators past and present include Oren Ambarchi, Container, Sarah Hennies, Mark Fell, Roscoe Mitchell, Ahmed Ag Kaedy, James Rushford, Ghassen Chiba, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Erell Latimier, Chulki Hong, Mark Simmonds, Jérôme Noetinger, Keith Rowe, David Maranha, Ava Mendoza, the film maker Hangjun Lee and choreographer/dancer Mette Ingvartsen.

For a laaaast minute summer silly season soiree ONO Records and MOVE team up to present Vancouver dance music legend PILGRIMS OF THE MIND!
After a 25 year hiatus from touring, Pilgrims of the Mind has made their maiden voyage to Australian shores performing live at Un:send festival and Miscellania in Naarm this summer so far. A downright seminal figure in the 90’s and early 2000’s Vancouver scene, producer Stephane Novak released a string of stone-cold classic records showcasing his utterly unique and forward thinking psychedelic house, tripped-out downtempo and shimmering ambient productions. From his early house and bleepy techno excursions on labels Outersanctum, Interchill and Map Music (The track ‘Who. Is. That.’ being an ONO favourite) to dropping two classic LP’s on Map Music, ‘Welcome to the Lotus Land’ & ‘What’s Your Shrine? ‘ defining the Pilgrims of the Mind sound. Novak’s work is so coveted that most of these records have been reissued over recent years, on labels such as Echovolt and Heels & Souls.
To pair with POTM’s smooth sounds we have a stellar lineup of local legends…

Tone List presents: Jean-Philippe Gross (FR), Rich Wh, Morals and Ethics
2026-01-18 18:00 - 21:00 | PS, 22 Pakenham St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
Tone List presents a double bill of electro-acoustic experimental music buoyed by extended curiosity-piquing DJ sets by two of Boorloo’s finest. Throughout the event try having a yuzu soda or prosecco alongside handmade veggie samosas & vegan patra by Khanna (Means Food).
Jean-Philippe Gross is an electroacoustic musician based in France. He is a self-taught musician and an exceptional improviser on the no-input mixer (a mixing desk transformed into an instrument using feedback). Jean-Philippe’s music is marked by its compositional precision, decisiveness, and attention to the grain and texture of lengthy sustained drones. Jean-Philippe sustains collaborations with forward-thinking musicians globally including Clare Cooper, Jean-Luc Guionnet, and the orchestra ONCEIM. Contemplative, risky, frisson-inducing stuff.
Rich Wh is a local electronic musician working with a refined sound palette on modular synthesisers. In his music, chaotically interacting drones, pulses and crackles are sounded with a sense of veiled darkness. He performs and releases frequently in the orbit of Burnt Seed Records, NoizeMaschin!! and the Boorloo modular synthesis community.
Morals and Ethics are the emergent DJ collaboration between indie scene mainstays Jameson Feakes & Rhian Todhunter (the former a Tone List founding member, the latter of outgoing Out to Lunch fame). Collagistic, pan-genre deep-diving and joyous intrigue.

Circuit Central Live: Artificial
2026-01-31 18:30 - 23:30 | PS, 22 Pakenham St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
31.1.26–> for the first cab home for the year we’re cruising into a puritanically LIVE event that skirts the edges of music you know, love and have never heard before.
Over at CC HQ we are still pinching ourselves that the kernel of the eve should be Artificial (a.k.a Nicole Skeltys), an artist who has released across the temporal and aural spectrum. We’ve experienced her projects as feeling out liminal sounds; serenely staunch IDM, acidic boppers and tinkling jingles to have you twirling into the early morning. You may have crossed paths with her music under the guise of B(if)tek (with Kate Crawford), an essential staple of nineties & noughties Aus. It’s true that tweeny Circuit Central was raised on nothing but a Saturday morning bowl of cornflakes and an endless loop of Biffers on Rage.
There’s too much to say about the special musicians who will be sewing the sonic quilt before Artificial. Lia T & Lyndon Blue will teach us new things about the viola, a presumed dubbed out exploration of Basic Mind with Clouds Come Rain, the syrupy hip shakers of Blood Knows, and a moment pouring one out for our favourite kind of surface with Dedicated Floor.
As always, loving you all too much for gassing up these events- we’re taking a temporary pause from parties after this one so would love to give you all a big squeeze on the 31st @ PS.

Goolugatup Sounds: R. Rebeiro / Josten Myburgh & Jules Reidy / Patience
2026-02-07 17:00 - 21:00 | Goolugatup Heathcote, 58 Duncraig Rd, Applecross, WA, 6153, Australia
Coming up on Saturday, February 7, Goolugatup Sounds No. 29 welcomes the fierce electronics and avant-club experiments of Naarm legend R. Rebeiro (@r_rebeiro); alongside, for the first time, the wild intercontinental combo of sax + sound enchanter Josten Myburgh (@jostenmyburgh) in sonic dialogue with Berlin-based, Boorloo-born guitar/electronics powerhouse Jules Reidy (@jules_reidy). As if that wasn’t enough, new exhibitions open and twinkling selections through the night from ascendant star Patience (@tamaramarrington)

Perth Festival: Roomful of Teeth
2026-02-13 19:30 - 22:00 | St Mary’s Cathedral, 25 Victoria Ave, Perth, WA, 6000
Grammy Award-winning and globally acclaimed, Roomful of Teeth are dedicated to reimagining the expressive potential of the human voice. By engaging collaboratively with artists, thinkers, and community leaders from around the world, the group seeks to uplift and amplify voices old and new while creating and performing meaningful and adventurous music.
The band defies traditional conventions with their adventurous world-building and contemporary classical precision. Drawing from their lauded album Rough Magic alongside a kaleidoscope of works from their expansive catalogue, this high-powered and poignant octet dissolves boundaries between ancient music and cutting-edge experimentation.
Founded in 2009 by Brad Wells, Roomful of Teeth were incubated at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), where members studied with some of the world’s most extraordinary singers and teachers. Through experimentation, exploration and plenty of failures, the group learned that the boundaries of the human voice are never what they seem, that rules can be bent, even broken – and perhaps they should be.
Through their unique collaborative process, Roomful of Teeth have worked with many of today’s most compelling musical creators to build a significant and continuously growing repertoire. They have collaborated with a wide range of artists and ensembles spanning genres and art forms.

Liquid Architecture Presents
2026-02-18 18:00 - 22:00 | Lawson Flats, 4 Sherwood Ct, Perth, WA, 6000
Liquid Architecture and Perth Festival present a lens to Asia-Pacific’s unrulier sound currents. The program traces a line from conceptual composition to scorched-earth noise praxis to the outer edges of contemporary rap.

From Yogyakarta arrives Aditya Pandu Wijaya, a key figure in Indonesia’s noise vanguard and the force behind Bergegas Mati, his harsh-noise vehicle known for its eroding, heat-warped extremity. Pandu’s networked practice spans global collaborations, split releases, raw-collage digital art and his cassette-driven imprint Gerpfast Records, which has quietly become a clearing house for scenes that refuse to align – shoegaze, hardcore, metal, electronica and the vast detritus between. His new project, D.O.V.E., pushes further into violent oscillatory abrasion, reaffirming noise as both rupture and communion.
Cutting through these intensities is Pette Shabu, the Quezon City rapper shaping a distinctly Southeast Asian reading of experimental hip-hop. Her work fuses boom-bap, metal, ballroom, industrial and rave architectures into a kind of incendiary vernacular theatre – language as protest, pulse and provocation. On her recent debut SPRAK, she fractures genre into a riotous, multilingual cipher: political, playful, deeply embodied. Live, Pette operates at a threshold where club energy collides with underground poetics, a charged presence carving out new trajectories for regional rap.
Failing Upwards, the ongoing alias of Chris Cobilis, works in the long shadow of late-20th-century conceptualism, folding film scoring, installation and procedural performance into a practice that treats sound as both material and thought experiment. From self-duplicated record-shop replicas to the multi-device micro-drama of INSTAPHONICS, Chris navigates the frayed interfaces between technology, perception and non-music with a misanthropic humour that feels increasingly diagnostic.
Ben Aguero selects some recorded music on the night, playing selections before and between performances.
Together, these artists outline a terrain where form blurs, pressure builds and sound becomes a vector for instability, resistance and raw proposition.
Part of Summit at Lawson Flats – an unmissable series for the curious and thoughtful. Join us at Luis’ for a drink before the event or stay on for dinner afterwards. Reserve a table via Lawson Flats Reservations or email concierge@lawsonflats.com to book directly.

Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi (UK/AUS) w/ Nika Mo & Ben Buchanan
2026-02-20 19:30 - 22:30 | Rosemount Hotel, 459 Fitzgerald St, North Perth, WA, 6006, Australia
Sophia performs live at Rosemount Hotel on Friday February 20, joined by supports Ben Buchanan and Nika Mo. This rare, intimate seated performance offers a close-up experience of her music and is not to be missed.
Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi is a detail focused experimental ambient-folk songwriter, combining expansive evocative sound worlds with intimate storytelling.
With her first album Undertow, London-based composer/singer-songwriter Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi reveals stark vulnerability nestled in a dark ambience that is both intimate and expansive. Voice and cello provide the bedrock of a detail focused record, that threads together memory, grief, growth and connection. Undertow took its shape during an acclimation of sensuality and self, through a period of processing trauma, and all of life, love and loss that it surrounds and intertwines with. ‘Undertow’ binds this intimacy with the corporeal, spanning violation and deep trust. It deals with the fallout of the victims of violence against women, voyaging through fear and pain to absolution.
“The cello is widely considered the closest instrument to the voice. This is something that continually bleeds into my practice, finding the connection between voice, cello and body. The physicalization of this combined practice creates a sense of corporeality in my sound. I let it be intuitive, my playing and singing guided by my breath and the way my body moves. I found the duality of this expression informed reflections of sensuality and intimacy throughout the album.”
Undertow coalesces in a unique combination of clarity in its folk/singer-songwriter storytelling with a wholly alive and reactive bed of instrumentation. Instead of traditional structures and overly virtuosic solos, all aspects of production and performance lean heavily into spontaneity and gut feeling, reaching closer to a sense of unfiltered emotional truth. The result is an act of reification: songs with a sense of touch, of ears and eyes and flesh, coming to life around the mouth.
With the skilled Brooklyn producer Randall Dunn as a collaborator, Undertow pushes further into the abstract, a dark and dissociative space. Dunn carves intricate space with vast void-like atmospheres and cinematic intensity, with an unrelenting foregrounding of vulnerability. With instrumentalists Peter Zummo, Marilu Donovan, Henry Fraser, Luke Bergman and Brent Arnold, the arrangements on Undertow draw breath into a minimalistic sonic landscape, occupying a cohesive improvisational latitude.
Born in Perth, Hansen-Knarhoi grew up surrounded by the natural world. ‘Undertow’ draws on the stark landscapes and vast waters of Western Australia. At moments, field recordings are woven into the work, while at others, arrangements reflect its beautiful barren environment through memory. “Engulfing myself in nature has always been a way for me to process the world, to bring me back into my body and my senses”. ‘Undertow’ revels in this remote sonic landscape, submerging stories in the depths of truth.

Pneumatic & Wishful Thinking presents Fergus Jones (UK - Live), Melānija and Rare Faction
2026-02-21 19:00 - 22:00 | Ode to Sirens, 25 High St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
Join us for a night of beautiful live music from special guest Fergus Jones, joined by Melãnija, and Rare Faction at Ode To Sirens in Wayalup, Fremantle.

Fergus Jones (UK/FELT):
Fergus Jones is a Scottish artist living and working in Copenhagen. A producer and DJ lauded by Boomkat as “one of the underground’s key, if liminal, hyper-connectors,” he runs the label and event series FELT, which has released records by the likes of Civilistjävel! & Carrier.
Previously known as Perko, Jones released his acclaimed debut album Ephemera on Numbers in 2024. Developed with collaborative energy as the creative priority, the album was produced by Jones alongside an extensive list of like-minded musicians, lyricists and vocalists, including Huerco S, James K, Koreless, Birthmark, ELDON and Withdrawn of Bristol’s Cold Light crew, Laila Sakini and Lia T. Ephemera featured on numerous Best of 2024 lists by publications such as The Quietus, Phonica, Gorilla vs. Bear, and First Floor, with Pitchfork columnist Philip Sherburne highlighting “Heima” as the year’s best trip-hop single and Resident Advisor recommending its “masterful storm of trip-hop, dub and downtempo.”
Ephemera followed three releases on Numbers under the Perko alias – 2018’s NV Auto, 2020’s The City Rings, and 2023’s Prang, which was included on Resident Advisor’s Best Tracks of 2023 – and 2020’s Galerie on Denmark’s Posh Isolation.
Praised for his productions, live performances, and DJ sets, Jones has notably contributed mixes to the long-running FACT and Truants series, and is a frequent guest on radio stations such as NTS, Rinse, and the Lot. He has toured in Australia, China, and Japan, and performed at clubs worldwide, including Berlin (Tresor), London (Ormside Projects), Barcelona (Nitsa), Glasgow, and in his adopted city of Copenhagen.

Smerz
2026-02-25 20:00 - 23:30 | Freo.Social, Parry St, Fremantle, WA, 6160
Norwegian duo Smerz make their long-awaited Australian debut at Freo.Social on 25 February 2026, celebrating their new album Big City Life (2025). With their moody avant-pop, minimalist production and hypnotic, almost-whispered vocals, the pair have built a significant cult following for music that drifts between club culture, performance art and late-night introspection.
Smerz have earned major international acclaim for their distinctive sound, and they’re now in Australia for a limited run of shows and festival appearances, offering a rare chance to step into their lucid, slow-burn dream world.
We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and recognise that the land and sovereignty has never been ceded.
