BIOGRAPHY

Darin Epsilon is a globally renowned DJ, producer, radio host, and label owner, widely celebrated as one of the pioneers of Melodic House & Techno and Progressive House. As the host of the Perspectives radio show and podcast, he has reached tens of thousands of listeners each month, solidifying his influence within the global dance music community. Since launching his label Perspectives Digital in 2010, Darin has continually expanded his artistic reach, further establishing himself as a key figure in the electronic music scene.

Originally from Chicago, Darin’s early career was shaped by his pivotal residency at the legendary Vision Nightclub. This was followed by his move to Los Angeles in 2008, where he worked with renowned brands such as Insomniac at Exchange LA, GIANT at Avalon and Vanguard, and Monday Night Social. His journey continued in 2017 when he relocated to Berlin, the world’s electronic music capital. By 2022, he further cemented his position on the global stage with a highly coveted DJ residency at Ritter Butzke, one of Berlin’s most beloved venues. 

Darin's career milestones are a testament to his pure talent and determination. In 2011, he gained international recognition by winning John Digweed’s 'Structures Two' DJ Competition, sponsored by Bedrock and Ableton Live, and in 2016, he was nominated for 'Best Progressive House Artist’ at the Beatport Awards. He also became the first artist ever to release a Progressive House production tutorial after teaming up with SonicAcademy.com, further demonstrating his expertise and commitment to music education.

Throughout his lengthy career, Darin has released on the industry's most recognized labels such as (in alphabetical order) Einmusika, Katermukke, Renaissance, Ritter Butzke Records, Selador, Siona Records, Sudbeat, and Warung Recordings. His tracks have consistently charted in Beatport's Top 10, and he has garnered widespread acclaim working alongside top-tier artists such as DJ CHUS, Fur Coat, Jerome Isma-Ae, Hernan Cattaneo, Miss Monique, Quivver, Robert Babicz, Sasha Carassi, Sebastien Leger, Sydney Blu, among countless others.

Over the years, his distinct melodic sound has been supported and played by the biggest DJ’s in the world including Adriatique, Agents of Time, Eelke Kleijn, Einmusik, Fideles, Hannes Bieger, Hernan Cattaneo, Innellea, John Digweed, Joris Voorn, Korolova, Miss Monique, Nick Warren, Nora En Pure, Pete Tong, Sasha, Solomun, Township Rebellion, Vintage Culture, Yotto, and the list goes on and on.

As a gifted student of music from an early age, former record shop employee, and former director of a college radio station, Darin draws inspiration from his nearly encyclopedic knowledge and genuine appreciation of electronic music. He cites a variety of important influences in the past decade, from the early Leftfield and Future Sound of London albums, to the iconic Global Underground compilation series, to the sweeping sounds of Paul Oakenfold circa 1999, to Sasha & Digweed's mind-blowing Delta Heavy tour in 2002.

If you have ever been in the audience to catch one of his live sets, it becomes immediately apparent that he is proficiently skilled as a DJ as well. His ability to connect with audiences is unparalleled, and his relentless touring schedule has taken him from the world’s most prestigious venues—Ministry of Sound and EGG (London), Avalon and Exchange (Los Angeles), Stereo (Montreal), The Bow (Buenos Aires)—to the most popular festivals such as Amsterdam Dance Event, Burning Man, Ultra Music Festival, BPM Festival, South By Southwest (SXSW), and Berlin Dance Music Event.

However, it would be foolish to say that his achievements have been purely confined to the club setting. Darin’s music has also caught the attention of global brands like MTV, Algoriddim djay, American DJ, Elation Professional, and Global Truss, for whom he has licensed content and provided the soundtrack to their promotional videos. His tracks have also been featured in several feature films, placing him among a select group of producers whose music has graced the big screen.

With hard work, passion, unwavering dedication to his art, and support from the industry's most revered names, this Chicago native turned Berlin transplant aims to prove that this is only the beginning to a long and promising career.

Born and raised in Sinaia, a small famous Romanian mountain town, believes that the next quote is very representative for him as well as for every music lover „Without music, life would be a mistake” (Friedrich Nietzsche)

The very first time I felt true fervor for music was in 1996 when I started to collect and listen as much music as I could. I found out later that it was that moment when I have chosen this way, when I have decided to devote my life to the music. So the very next move was to start playing music as a DJ, step by step, in several clubs.

In 1997, I began to collaborate with Radio 21and another level came to light with a brand new perspective on my life. As a fresh member of the Radio 21 team, at first I was a DJ and then a local station manager. Next, I strengthened my professional background working with Radio Brasov, Mix FM and Radio 21 Bucharest.

My first approach with quality house music was when I played as a resident DJ in OFFICE Club Predeal & Bucharest, a pioneer in Romanian clubbing industry. During my residency in OFFICE Club I had the chance to experience the true vibes of house music for which I developed a great taste and passion. It was there I got to be known as “DJ SMILEY” because everybody was absolutely astonished by me being so serious while mixing and so they couldn’t help calling me “smiley”.

In 2005, I breathed the air of morning parties in a legendary after-hours club called SUGAR where I had the opportunity to play beside most of the top Romanian DJ's and since then I became addicted to after-hours parties.

After that, I had several residencies to other after-hours clubs like Posh, Gossip, Metropolis, Barocco and Shade Club. Between spinning the records there, I had gigs in all major cities from the mountains to the sea, and everywhere there are appropriate conditions for a good performance.

Meanwhile, I am the fashion show music producer and after parties DJ for Fashion TV Romania.

In my sessions I like to include and explore top quality house music in order to gather the people on the dance floor and make them feel united. My mixing approaches are a combination between passion, human empathy and fine taste and gather all afro house, organic house, afro tech, melodic house techno, old school house.

After two long years of absence from the underground music scene, at the same time with the beginning of 2011, I am ready to come up with new music projects like a radio show, a new residency, promoting parties and events and the last but not least I am thinking about touching seriously the side of producing and try my luck to a record label.

Not willing to bore you with more details, I will let you discover the new me  and looking hopefully to keep following my vibes because the future has never been so close!
