The artist of electronica music known
as R.D. Peoples has released his latest EP record, titled, “Meta,”
to the delight of EDM fans everywhere. The record is comprised of
five original tracks for an approximate total playing time of 30
minutes, making for a fairly comprehensive introduction to this
talented, up-and-coming digital composer. It has been released on the
Good Noodles music label, the creation of which was publicly
announced in April of this year and is owned and operated by Peoples,
himself. The tracks on “Meta” are wholly electronic, colorful,
whirling and pounding, with tempos that range from 87 to 175 BPMs.
With energy and adrenaline enough for all the digital underground to
live and breathe in, “Meta” is poised to solidify R.D. Peoples as
one of the modern day's most exciting new artists.
R.D. Peoples' vibrant personality
echoes in the reverberating beats of “Meta.” Its sound pulses
with the spirit and undertones of R.D. Peoples' main artistic
influences, such as DJ
Dara, Dieselboy, Klute, Grooverider, DJ Rap, and Laidback Luke.
Peoples' most famed works include the “Long Live Everything” LP,
which crosses genres and subgenres frequently, and his dubstep
release project, ”The Boogie of Babydoll,” which mix was inspired
in its entirety by the video-game-styled movie, “Sucker Punch,”
and named for the film's main character.
A renowned participant in the cosplay
and video gaming communities, four of the five tracks on Peoples' new
EP are titled after popular games such as “Resident Evil” and
“Fable.” While his popularity is quickly gaining ground in the
US, his solid reputation soars in China, Japan, and the United
Kingdom. He has opened for such artists as Skrillex, Hopsin,
Macklemore, Reid Speed, Tech N9ne,and Borgore.
“I
began DJ-ing in my bedroom,” writes Peoples of his musical history.
“We would throw small parties and spin on belt-driven turntables. I
was heavy into the electronic scene. I always wanted to produce EDM,
though.”
Concerning
the themes of “Meta,” he explains that “It is simply to convey
my love for EDM; especially drum 'n’ bass. I hope it makes people
want to dance, of course, but I really hope the emotion I tried to
carry through each track [is perceived]. I want people to open up to
themselves, enjoy the experience, and not be afraid to feel something
different.”

Peoples, who is also sometimes known as Raiden Integra, is a man of
many (surprisingly varied) talents. In addition to his well-known and
admired work in EDM, cosplay and gaming, he is also a model, gymnast,
