British electro producer and DJ Feed Me releases his second EP on Ophelia ‘One Real Antler, One Imagined’.
The two-track project features the moody and progressive “Heart On The Line” with vocalist Leo Leone. Titular track “One Real Antler, One Imagined” is the B-side anthem with a dance-floor ready blend of trance and electro house. The release follows his Ophelia debut on ‘Feed Me From The Clouds EP’ and comes around his support show for Seven Lions at Echostage.
For British born DJ/producer Jon Gooch, fitting in has never been much of a priority. Transforming between the electro/house sounds of Feed Me, the dark drum and bass of Spor and the more creative leftfield output of Seventh Stitch, Jon has released multiple projects across multiple labels, most notably becoming the first outside act to sign with deadmau5’s label, mau5trap, in 2010. Fast forward to 2019 and
Feed Me’s critically acclaimed album High Street Creeps receives widespread press and radio support, in turn leading to a multi date “LiveTeeth” US tour and an appearance at multiple UK festivals, including a set on the generator stage at Creamfields. Entering 2020 off the back of two releases via Spinnin’ and NightMode, this year is set to be even bigger for the DJ/producer as Jon and his many aliases continue to grow and evolve.
