Johnathan 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.

Biography

Gooch obtained the name Spor from one of the first sets of samples he collected, entitled 'Spore Tactics', and a favorite piece of artwork by a friend, Karl Kwasny.^{[citation needed]} However, he soon dropped the "e" from the word to balance the arrangement of letters when displayed in a graffiti style.^{[citation needed]} After a school friend introduced Gooch to drum and bass, he began experimenting with software to create his own music.

Spor attracted the attention of Renegade Hardware's label manager at the time, Chris Renegade, and secured a deal with the label. Much of Gooch'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 was also involved in a second side project called "Seventh Stitch", which produced alternative IDM. He worked with another artist called Aker.

Gooch also has an electro house, and dubstep project: "Feed Me". A two-track EP titled "The Spell / Raw Chicken" was released under Deadmau5's label, mau5trap. Another track, "Mordez Moi", was released on Noisia's label Division alongside the group's original track "B.R.U.L.". He released a second EP under mau5trap on 25 December 2010, titled Feed Me's Big Adventure. It featured eight tracks, including both electro house and dubstep. His third EP of four tracks called To the Stars was released on 3 June 2011. He released another EP titled Feed Me's Escape From Electric Mountain on 6 February 2012. It features six tracks, with vocals from Hadouken! and Lindsay. On 20 August, Gooch released a new single titled "Little Cat Steps" and soon after it was revealed he was producing a full-length album. On 28 October, he released another single with folk band Crystal Fighters, titled "Love Is All I Got". The EP also features four remixes including Gooch's "Matilda" remix. On 20 December, he stated on Twitter "One more single and two B sides, then it's album and tour time." The tracks were posted on his SoundCloud and were titled "Death By Robot", "Dial-Up Days" and "Gravel". The Death By Robot EP was released on 16 January 2013.

It was revealed in an interview with DJ Mag that Gooch would like to release albums under each of his Spor, Feed Me and Seventh Stitch aliases in 2013.

On May 22, 2013 Gooch released a series of statements on his Twitter informing his fans that come Autumn, he would no longer be DJ'ing. He explained to his fans, 'What I really love doing is making music, art, telling stories; being creative. I don't want a situation where this becomes a back seat.' He later tweeted, 'Seems common to assume writing music means wanting to DJ - I started by accident? It's a fun and enriching social experience but not art.'
