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."
