The energy, structures; I love trying to do a set that goes through different environments while staying hopeful, energetic and positive.

What made you want to go back to shorter-form releases?<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Feed Me: <\/strong><em>High Street Creeps<\/em>&nbsp;was very much the product of having a lot of material at once from sessions all over the place, and corralling it all together into something that told a story. <em>Feed Me<\/em> was a lot more personal, like a lot of artists for me it was a lockdown story and very much an insular experience, buying esoteric equipment, using experimental or vintage techniques.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something quite massive feeling about doing albums though, and with more and more new material and ideas building up I wanted to get back to being more episodic. So here&#8217;s the first result of that.<\/p>\n<figure>\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kashikaricoop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/329409520_764539077988893_2232024494815050299_n.jpg\" height=\"620\" width=\"620\" \/><figcaption>\n<p>Feed Me\/Instagram<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>EDM.com: When we last spoke, we discussed how 2021&#8217;s self-titled <em>Feed Me <\/em><\/strong><strong>album <\/strong><strong>was a reset for your project. What&#8217;s changed for you musically since?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Feed Me: <\/strong>Connecting with crowds again, and combining the lessons of that lockdown-detached period of creativity with music for a social environment. It&#8217;s been a case of finding that point between totally indulgent material and tracks I can do more with in a live setting, that translate in a club or a loop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDM.com:&nbsp;In addition to musical changes, what else has changed for Feed Me since your reset?<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Feed Me:&nbsp;<\/strong>I&#8217;ve taken a lot more on personally, but also become a more efficient and less chaotic person in general, which is probably good news for everyone around me. I&#8217;m so fortunate to get to do this, I feel pretty connected to it all lately. I think I&#8217;ve just become increasingly grateful and energized by it all.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"352\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6DrmCyxM6StX9735Lddpy3?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>EDM.com:&nbsp;Your other projects, <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/tag\/spor\">SPOR<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/edm.com\/tag\/seventh-stitch\">seventh stitch<\/a>, have been quite busy lately. What more do you have planned for your other aliases at this time?<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Feed Me:&nbsp;<\/strong>Launching Seventh Stitch has been a huge catharsis, and I have a great team helping with the logistics. Feed Me is my character, a bit of a mask for mischief, but Seventh Stitch is my diary. I&#8217;ve always needed the two aspects to maintain, but making it public feels different. I&#8217;m trying to get a Spor record mastered also.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDM.com:&nbsp;What can fans expect from Feed Me in the near future?<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Feed Me: <\/strong>Some collaborations seem to be coming together. Also I have an EP on Sotto Voce, and something else with Ophelia. I didn&#8217;t see the point in working with a label that&#8217;s new to me unless it was a case of really being involved and feeling connected with what they do. I respect Ophelia and Jeff [Seven Lions] and their artists and team a lot, it&#8217;s inspiring to get that sort of contact and really motivating. I bought a really old car to mess around with also so if I go missing something went wrong.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Listen to <em>Feed Me From The Clouds <\/em>on streaming platforms <a href=\"https:\/\/ophelia.ffm.to\/fmftc\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Follow Feed Me:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Facebook: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/youfeedme\/\">facebook.com\/youfeedme<\/a><br \/><strong>Twitter: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/feedme\">twitter.com\/feedme<\/a><br \/><strong>Instagram: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/feedme\/\">instagram.com\/feedme<\/a><br \/><strong>Spotify: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2Nbc2G0\">spoti.fi\/2Nbc2G0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feed Me&#8216;s first EP in over six years sees&nbsp;the influential producer do what he does best: transform his music into something entirely new while staying true to his sound.
