TAMAS JONES (HEY CONVICT!)

Internationally renowned Aussie champions of the disco rock sound, Tamas Jones and Jason Evans separately made their contributions to the club scene of Melbourne in the '90's. They colided to create Hey Convict! with their 'anything goes' Sunday afternoon Melbourne rooftop parties in 2006.

That same year their first mix together titled 'Time To Noodle' sold out in both the UK and Japan, making Piccadilly Records' top 10 best mixes of the year. Moonwalk records in Japan immediately commissioned another mix 'Drunken Chicken.'

In New York Tamas has guest DJ'd with Jason on Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space radio show (twice), at PS1 Warm Up's 10th anniversary alongside James Chance & The Contortions, Jonathan Kane and Matthew Dear as well as at APT with Brennan Green. He has shared turntables with the likes of DJ Spun, Pilooski, Softrocks, and Greg Wilson. After their debut 12" release on Golf Channel Recordings in 2009, they're teaming up with keystone Krautrocker Dominik Van Senger again for follow up releases that will include collaborations with Justin Vandervolgen (TBD) and Thomas Bullock (aka Welcome Stranger).

Whilst Jason is representing the duo over in NYC, Tamas is here in Sydney. He's without a doubt one of the most unique and talented DJs we've seen with a record collection that would singe even the bushiest of beards.

Wide-eyed disco drama, psychedelic guitars tied together by the taught heartbeat of house music. His DJ sets are never the same thing twice, yet always a good time.
