Electro Monster Feed Me Plays Middle East w/Skism & Terravita, 6.29.11. Ticket Giveaway!
Friday, June 24, 2011 at 9:39AM 
Next wednesday Embrace Boston brings another massive producer to Cambridge to work the Middle East’s subwoofers: Feed Me! Also known as Spor to drum and bass fans, as well as Jon Gooch to his parents, this guy has become very well regarded as a producer during his short, yet significant, music career of 6 years.
Feed Me’s earliest work under the “Spor” alias reaped the rewards of several very successful 12” singles and EP’s released on popular drum and bass labels such as Subtitles, Renegade Hardware, and Lifted. Thanks in no small part to Andy C’s rinsing of his tracks in the UK, as well as Evol Intent and Ewun’s support of his work on this side of the Atlantic, this guy became established very quickly. Many producers aspire to Gooch’s high level of skill in the studio.
In 2008, Deadmau5 signed him to his Mau5trap label to put out what was supposed to be a “side project” consisting of house and electro. Momentum and support was so strong for the release, which included “The Spell”, that we can pretty much call the rest history. His “Big Adventure” LP, released last year on Mau5trap, devoured the Beatport Top 100 late last year, many of its tracks becoming nightlife staples. Since then, he has released several respectable remixes for Chris Lake and Robyn, on flagship labels Nervous Records and EMI respectively.
Although Feed Me stays pretty true to his electro and house sound, culling massive drums and booming bass against piercing synths and catchy hooks, he also dabs in dubstep on occasion as well. “Strange Behaviour” on his most recent EP on Mau5trap a good example.
If just a little dubstep isn’t enough, Skism will also be there to provide support in that arena. With a wobbly, dancefloor driven sound, he is a perfect fit for a mid-summer heater and has plenty of original material to bring to the table(s). I’m personally a fan of his throwback (and Henry Rollins)-laced “Rave Review” on Never Say Die, but also be sure to check his cuts on Rottun Recordings, which event openers and local favorites Terravita also happen to be signed to.
Feed Me/Spor/Gooch has not been to New England since 2005, when he played a party in Providence with good friend and label mate Ewun/Kill The Noise. He touches down with Skism, Terravita, and Efrain Vargas at the Middle East Downstairs (472 Mass Ave) on Wednesday, June 29th. 8-12:30 PM. Facebook Invite
And here’s your chance to win a pair of tickets. As we have done in the past, leave your full name and email in the comments section below. I will draw a winner at NOON, on Tuesday June 28th. Thanks to Embrace once again, good luck and see you on the dancefloor next week.
