After yet ANOTHER hiatus due to a multitude of life events outside of my control, I have returned. Episode 8 of the Techno Reactions youtube series brings us my darkest techno track that I’ve reacted to date. This track is a pure joyride to listen to from start to finish. A dark, sinister masterpiece by none other than “RECID”, whose real name is “Andrey Dyachenko” hailing out of Ukraine. I discovered this artist about a couple of years ago and did not get the chance to listen to his full music catalog. But suffice to say that this track is a hidden gem, to say the least. RECID is an artist wh ..read more

So in light of this year being quite a horrid one for the rest of the world, amidst all the covid-19 adversity, I made an update on the Techno Reactions Youtube channel. It’s been quite some time since I uploaded an episode and I felt that it was my due diligence to explain myself for going mia. Although it was within good reason, sometimes life gets in the way and throws a speed bump towards your momentum. Since starting this project, I arrived at a fork ended road with three destination choices. Should I keep going? Should I stop? Or should I give it some more time to take care of personal l ..read more

My name is Brandon Peoples and electronic music has served as a large contribution to overall my growth and who I am as a person. It is a passion that defines who I am since I was in diapers. In my memory, there are fond recollections of dancing in diapers as a toddler to the sounds of techno. As a teen, I would lock myself inside of my mom’s car while listening to live trance sets on the car stereo that were burned to CD’s. By definition, I am what you would refer to as a “musical empath”. Music by definition is: “vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce be ..read more

  So first off, happy new year all you techno addicts! This is my first post in a few months here on my blog so while I’m anxious to get into the meat and potatoes of this post, ‘we need to talk’. Why I took my Hiatus Scary words right? Well, 2020 has already started off to quite an interesting ride, and needless to say, alot can change in just a few months of living. Due to unexpected family emergencies, and my own personal health, I had to shift my full attention and focus on such occurrences.  The good news is that everyone is ok including myself. Bad news? Well, there’s no bad news when e ..read more

Techno Reactions- “A Musical Empath’s Journey”    Hello Techno Addicts! This long awaited project is finally becoming a reality. The first video of my new Techno Reactions series has been uploaded. I’ve decided to upload it on a new Youtube Channel. I considered that uploading it to a new Youtube Channel would ensure that the content does not interfere with the older content. This is an idea that I had for over a year now, that no one else has really done before. With the help of my combined total of 10,000+ YouTube and Blog fans I am finally turning this idea into a reality. Techno Reactions ..read more

The story behind “Interstellar” Late last year, I made a post on my instagram where I mentioned how I was digging up my old IDE hard-drives from 2012 and prior to retrieve some old musical projects of mine. Unfortunately, some of the hard-drives were unrecoverable but others were. Luckily, with the drives that were recoverable, I was able to retrieve some old Techno and Trance tracks I made back when I was a teenager. One of the tracks I found, was a trance track I created in 2009 called, “Interstellar” by my Trance alias Astrophillix.      I’m not sure if anyone remembers a site called CTG m ..read more

In this post I’m going to share with you a blind buy I did on Amazon a while back that resulted in owning the best pair of headphones under 50. When I’m searching in the market for a great pair of headphones, I always try and aim for that perfect balance of audio quality and comfort. Considering the fact that most of my computer sessions involve spending upwards to 16 hours doing various tasks on my computer. Including producing and mixing music, and video editing. With that being said,  I couldn’t help but write out a full review to extend this recommendation to other music producers out ther ..read more
