Jon Gooch, performing as Feed Me, is a pivotal figure in the post-2010 electronic landscape, bridging the gap between the technical rigor of UK drum and bass and the commercial peak of American EDM. Emerging from the DnB scene under the alias Spor, Gooch launched Feed Me as a creative outlet for slower tempos, specifically electro house and dubstep.
His signing to deadmau5's mau5trap label solidified his position as a premier sound designer. His sound identity is defined by 'complextro,' a style involving rapid-fire switching between different synth patches and textures within a single bar. Critically, he is lauded for maintaining a high level of musicality and melodic structure amidst the 'brostep' era's aggression. His influence is seen in the high-detail production of artists like Skrillex and Noisia. Throughout his career, Gooch has maintained a fiercely independent streak, often handling his own visual art and stage design, including the iconic 'Teeth' light show, positioning him as a multidisciplinary artist rather than just a DJ.
