Artist Guide
Spor remains one of those names that instantly changes the temperature of a lineup. Jonathan Gooch built the alias on technical precision, bad-intention bass design and a kind of futurist aggression that still sounds sharp when heavier styles come back around. Even people who know him from Feed Me read Spor as the serious-pressure version of the same brain: colder, faster and more devastating.
The draw is not just nostalgia. Spor records still feel detailed, mean and highly controlled. His drops do not depend on volume alone; they work because every midrange shape and drum transient is placed with purpose. That makes the alias useful on a bill like LOCUS, where the tougher end of the spectrum needs a booking with history, identity and enough weight to reset the room.
If you want the 'heads lock in' moment, this is the act. A Spor appearance brings rare-set value, real pedigree and a different shade of darkness than the festival's more liquid or vocal-led names. He is the artist you schedule around if the plan is to trade cocktails for full concentration. That tension between beauty around the site and violence in the speakers is exactly why he fits Bali so well.
