Feed Me & No Mana
Feed Me: Multifaceted British EDM producer Jon Gooch developed his Feed Me moniker in the late 2000s as a vehicle for his dubstep/electro-house hybrid tracks. Working with Deadmau5’s Mau5trap imprint, Gooch’s tracks of wobbly bass and scattershot drum programming evolved over a nonstop stream of singles, remixes for big-name artists like Robyn, and studio albums like 2013’s Calamari Tuesday. Born in Hertfordshire, England, in 1984, Jon Gooch first made a name for himself under the alias Spor, crafting hard-edged drum’n’bass tracks. In 2008, he debuted the Feed Me moniker and a more dubstep-leaning sound on his first track, “The Spell.” Still active as Spor (and a handful of other aliases), Gooch’s work as Feed Me was largely released on the Deadmau5-run label Mau5trap. His first full-length album, Feed Me’s Big Adventure, materialized in 2010, and new tracks came at a steady clip in the form of new singles or EP releases like 2011’s To the Stars and 2012’s Escape from Electric Mountain. He also increased his profile by remixing the likes of Chase & Status (“Let You Go”), Nero (“Innocence”), Gorillaz (“On Melancholy Hill”), and Robyn (“Call Your Girlfriend”).
No Mana: Inheriting his grandad’s love for techno and trance at a very young age, L.A,-based producer No Mana (born Jordan Orcaz) grew up surrounded by electronic influences, which, as is often the case, made him interested in producing. Debuting with a remix of Black Morphs & Elexem’s “You & I,” the young producer quickly caught the eye of electro heavyweight Deadmau5, who promptly signed Orcaz to his Mau5trap label. Maintaining his video game-inspired aesthetic, the producer made his label debut with the two-track “1UP” (2015), followed that year by sequels “2UP”, “3UP”, “4UP, “5UP”, and singles “Tell Me” and “Claws.” A varied set of offerings, the musician’s early efforts danced through genres from trance to electro house, bound by a punchy, crisp sound reminiscent of ‘s founder.
