Jon Gooch, more commonly known by his stage name Spor, is a drum & bass producer and DJ from Hertfordshire, England.
[edit] Biography
Jon Gooch a.k.a. Spor obtained his name from one of the first set of samples he collected, entitled 'Spore Tactics', and a favorite piece of artwork by a friend, Karl Kwasny. However he soon dropped the "e" from the word to balance the arrangement of letters when displayed in a graffiti style. After a school friend introduced Jon to the world of Drum & Bass he began experimenting with software to create his own music.
Spor quickly attracted attention from big names in Drum & Bass, and finally secured a deal with one of the most revered labels in the industry; 'Renegade Hardware'. Much of his work was released through this label, and soon Jon began DJing sets. He has also released work under the name 'Final Reckoning' with Codex. Spor has since then been traversing the globe playing his music at clubs across the world. After a successful partnership with Renegade Hardware and Barcode Recordings, and releases with Teebee's Subtitles Recordings, Spor and long-time friend Chris Renegade from Renegade Hardware launched Lifted Music with fellow dark Drum & Bass producers Apex, Evol Intent and Ewun.
Spor's electro house side project, Feed Me, has also been rather successful. A two track EP has been released under Deadmau5's label, mau5trap, along with a track on Noisia's label as well. Spor is due to release a new EP entitled Conquerors and Commoners which features his new tracks Overdue, Kaori, Halogen and kingdom. Spor is also expected to release an album for lifted music around summer 2010.
