When Feed Me took to his Twitter to vent about the pitfalls of the EDM industry, it didn't take long for EDM's very own twitter gangster Deadmau5 to join the party. Feed Me was initially explaining why he left D'n'B, because he ‘wanted more musical freedom' and also because ‘it's a scene monopolized by greed'. Since leaving drum and bass, Feed Me announced he'll be releasing producing an album as ‘Spor'. He went on even further to say that he has ‘zero interest in ‘EDM', and I've always felt that Joel signed me because I was interesting. Hopefully that's the point'.
It's clear Deadmau5 believes in Feed Me's musical future, as he stated ‘I'd put out any of your D'n'B without listening to it. I still haven't heard a Spor track I didn't like'. Feed Me also said Mau5trap set him free because they have real world ethics. Deadmau5 responded ‘Glad we're doing our best to be fair. I don't give a fuck for money for work I didn't do myself. It's a privilege putting your stuff out'.

I don't want to do interviews, mixes or exclusives.

I stopped D&B because I wanted more musical freedom. But also because it's a scene monopolised by greed

I watched as even fans didn't like change and the scene's top talent moved to new ground to avoid negativity and unprofessionalism

I watched annual awards go to the same old people, and new talent get slung into manipulative contracts that squashed their careers
