Feed Me releasing new EP 6th February, includes Gemini collaboration 'Whiskers'

What a busy time Jon Gooch a.k.a. Feed Me is having. He takes his Teeth across North America in March and April and is now set to drop a new EP on Monday 6th February 2012 on mau5trap. The only confirmed track so far his 'Whiskers', which is co-produced by Gemini and premiered on the UKF Dubstep channel this afternoon.

 Expect more news as to what other tracks the yet-to-be-named EP will include and the name of the EP itself, although I'd be surprised if 'Trapdoor' isn't included.

Guardian: Skrillex to play Sonisphere Festival 2012

The Guardian, in an article about the apparent lack of truth in the death of Rock, have leaked that Skrillex will be playing Sonisphere Festival this year.

He points out that hugely successful dance acts such as Nero, Chase & Status, Skrillex and Pendulum blend rock with electronica. Pendulum played at the Download heavy metal festival last year, and Skrillex has been booked for this year's other big metal festival, Sonisphere.


In the same way Chase & Status have caused controversy for being booked for Download this year, I'm sure Skrillex will have the same effect, having already ruffled feathers within in the metal community for hooking up with Korn on their latest album 'The Path to Totality'.

Sonisphere Festival in the UK is due to take place Friday 6th - Sunday 8th July 2012 at Knebworth House, Hertfordshire.

Dr. Phonics - Troll in the Dungeon

Dr. Phonics unleashed a brand new drum and bass track last night which samples a certain line by Professor Quirrell from a Harry Potter film. From what I've heard Jacob didn't originally have the idea for the sample but wiped the floor with the person who did with this!



'Troll in the Dungeon' is the follow up to his debut single, 'Whiplash', released at the end of last year.

Legalities of the sample aside, you can download the song for free above.
