Twenty six year old Jon Gooch, known as ‘Spor’, has quickly risen to the forefront edge of Drum & Bass production. Spor, from Hertfordshire in England, got his name from a combination of one of the first folders of samples he obtained, entitled ‘Spore Tactics’, and a favorite piece of artwork by a friend. Graffiti outlining eventually meant he would drop the ‘e’ to leave a more balanced arrangement. After a school friend introduced Spor to the world of Drum and Bass he began experimenting with software to create his own music. After attracting outside attention, he landed himself an exclusive deal with one of Drum & Bass’ most prestigious labels, Renegade Hardware, and leading-edge label, Barcode. This opened up many DJ opportunities and after playing his first set at a club in London, Spor has continued traveling the globe playing music. |Nowadays he co-runs the cutting-edge music-label “Lifted Music” with Chris Renegade, Ewun, Evol Intent & Apex. He continues to release dark, solid, drum & bass through this label and others, and we can only expect more to come. He also produces under alias Feed Me, mainly house and dubstep. |
