Jonathan Gooch (born August 22, 1984 in Hertfordshire, England), more commonly known by his stage names Feed Me and Spor, is a drum and bass, dubstep, and electro house producer and DJ.
Background
Gooch obtained the name Spor from one of the first set of samples he
collected, entitled 'Spore Tactics', and a favorite piece of artwork by a
friend, Karl Kwasny.However, he soon dropped the "e" from the word to balance the arrangement of letters when displayed in a graffiti style.After a school friend introduced Jon to drum and bass, he began experimenting with software to create his own music.
Career
Spor attracted the attention of Renegade Hardware's
label manager at the time, Chris Renegade, and secured a deal with the
label. Much of Jon's work was released through this label, and soon he
began DJing sets. He has also released work under the name 'Final
Reckoning' with Codex, as well as under the name 'Unicron'. After a
successful partnership with Renegade Hardware and Barcode Recordings, and releases with Teebee's Subtitles Recordings, in 2006, Spor and long-term friend Chris Renegade launched Lifted Music and signed music from producers such as Apex, Evol Intent and Ewun & Phace.
On 24 February 2010, Spor released his second double EP, Conquerors and Commoners on the Lifted Music label. In an interview with K Magazine, he said the title was inspired by a quote by Harlan Ellison.
The album was well received by drum and bass fans, with two of the
tracks from the album ("Halogen" and "Kingdom") being played on Andy C's Nightlife 5 mix CD.Spor has since then been playing his music at clubs across the world under the Lifted Music guise.
Gooch also has an electro house, dubstep, and moombahton project: Feed Me. A two track EP was released under Deadmau5's label, mau5trap, along with a track on Noisia's label. He released a second EP under mau5trap on 25 December 2010, titled Feed Me's Big Adventure. It features eight new tracks, including both electro house and dubstep. His third EP of four tracks called To the Stars has been available to the public since 3 June 2011. He released another EP titled Feed Me's Escape From Electric Mountain on 6 February 2012. It features 6 new tracks, with vocals from Hadouken! and Lindsay.
Jon was also involved in a second side project called 'Seventh Stitch', which produced alternative IDM. He worked with another artist called Aker.
He has said he would like to release his debut album in August, 2012.
