Dancing Astronaut’s Most Anticipated Electronic Albums of Fall 2013
As many as 14 full-length albums will hit the digital shelves over the next two months, running the gamut from veterans Kaskade, The Bloody Beetroots and Claude VonStroke to newcomers Krewella and Angger Dimas. This fall's unprecedented streak of electronic album releases coalesced with EDM's advancing digital sales should kindle mainstream headway, the right way. Just ask Disclosure what happens when a fire starts to burn... Here are the most anticipated albums of fall 2013.
Feed Me announces new album’s release date as first week of October
Earlier this year Jon Gooch announced his hiatus from DJing to refocus his efforts on production. Teeth or no teeth, Gooch's alter ego Feed Me has become one of the most critically acclaimed production outfits in dance music, mainly due to his one-of-a-kind sound and art for art's sake approach to music composition. Initially announced as an early September release, the album seems to have hit a bit of a speed bump; Jon has just announced via Instagram that his next full length album will be released the first week of October, a full month after he had originally planned. He's been cooking up the album in his studio since his voluntary departure from the stage and despite the extended wait; fans are hungry for more of what Feed Me has to feed them.
Editorial: Why Feed Me shouldn’t stop DJing, and neither should you
To me, Feed Me’s words touched on a much bigger, disheartening theme. When deadmau5 wrote his ubiquitous “we all hit play” editorial nearly a year ago, it was as if the curtains were drawn on the Wizard of Oz, revealing the DJ to be nothing more than a glorified illusionist.
Feed Me plans to hang up the decks, ‘I’ve got a pressing feeling that it’s not what I’m supposed to be doing’
The British graphic designer and production genius behind Spor and Feed Me, Jon Gooch, has decided to - for lack of a better word - "quit" DJing after this summer festival season. Always an artist first and DJ second, Jon has developed numerous creative projects surrounding his Feed Me persona - including an animatronic version of the green goblin he designed. Like so many producer's in today's dance music world, the act of DJing has simply become a means for performing his work and Jon believes that the experience is "not art." He took to Twitter late last night to express his concerns and his hesitation to continue down the "DJ path" worrying that it may force his creativity in the studio to take a backseat if he continues to pursue it further.
