Feed Me ditches the teeth, plays an intimate set at Pacha NYC
Last Sunday, the man behind the teeth, Jon Gooch, made his first ever appearance in the hallowed halls of Pacha NYC - joining the nearly endless list of talent that have blown out the speakers at New York's largest club. Despite the Sunday night timeslot and his 1am start time, Pacha's main dance floor was packed to the brim with die-hard bassheads eager to get their dose of Feed Me's signature guttural groans and wobbles. The club, as is to be expected on a Sunday night, was decidedly less hectic than Friday or Saturday, allowing for true fans to force their way front and center - this was a crowd who had come to Pacha with a unified purpose. The lack of his snarling LCD teeth only served to increase Jon's energetic presence behind the decks - he jumped and thrashed haphazardly, swigging drinks and engaging the crowd as they mirrored his excitement. After over two hours of a seemingly endless barrage of bone rattling bass Pacha gave Jon the go ahead to continue playing, re-igniting the packed dance floor as they stomped and flailed until nearly 4am.
Feed Me debuts his heavy hitting Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1
This is the moment Feed Me fans have been waiting for. After teasing us with a short mix on Annie Nightingale's radio show, Feed Me finally delivers a 2 hour long Essential mix for the estimable Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. Showcasing the full scope of his production talents, Feed Me brings his unique style of melodic bass music to the forefront on this mix - traversing much of his own personal catalog of tracks including his unreleased collaboration with Kill the Noise "Thumbs Up (For Rock And Roll)" as well as his incredible remix of the Aphex Twin classic "Windowlicker." Even his old drum and bass persona, Spor, is represented here on the never released "Push Me, Pull You." Have a listen below and then mark your calendars for his Sunday, September 30th DJ set at Pacha NYC.
Feed Me shows his teeth on Annie Nightingale’s BBC 1 with a 20 minute mix
We have a serious question -- why doesn't Feed Me get more credit? His sound is brazenly different, a feat so rarely accomplished in a scene fueled by imitation. He makes an effort to release high quality EPs, rather than one off remixes of pop garbage, and anyone who has seen his live shows will attest to their sheer unique-ness, yet somehow Feed Me continues to attract only a niche amount of fans. It's a disservice to one of the most skilled producers in electronic dance music today. His production style may not be for everyone but the scope of his sound speaks volumes to his talent - his sound goes far beyond heavy bass and groaning wobbles. On this mix, Feed Me features a slew of originals including his heavy hitting remix of AWOLNATION's "Sail" and one of our personal favorites "Bully." If you are looking for your bass fix this Tuesday morning, look no further - Feed Me delivers, just like he always does.
