Fergus Jones

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list of like-minded musicians, lyricists and vocalists, including Huerco S, James K, Koreless, Birthmark, ELDON and Withdrawn of Bristol’s Cold Light crew, Laila Sakini and Lia T. Ephemera featured on numerous Best of 2024 lists by publications such as The Quietus, Phonica, Gorilla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.
