Biography
Jon Gooch has been quoted as saying his sister Caroline was one of his greatest musical influences, enjoying her Spice Girls albums from a young age. He 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 attracted the attention of Renegade Hardware
