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.

If there’s one word that defines Jean Pierre (Pakate Records, Cuttin' Headz), it’s passion.
Born and raised in the concrete jungle of Queens, New York, Jean Pierre has spent over twenty years living, breathing, and evolving within the electronic music scene. His story is one of relentless hustle—from crate-digging at Brooklyn’s legendary Halcyon record shop to gracing the decks at the world’s top venues.
2024 marked a major breakthrough: performances at Space Miami, Music On Festival, Sunwaves, Unum, and Ibiza hotspots like Hï, Pacha, Amnesia, Eden, and Tantra showcased his powerful blend of house grooves, percussive minimalism, and raw techno energy, shaped by his NYC upbringing and Colombian roots.
Now based in Barcelona, Jean continues to refine his signature sound—one that’s earned releases on labels like Cuttin' Headz, Hot Creations, Mindshake, Rawthentic, Boogeyman, and his own Pakate Records.
A true artist at heart, Jean Pierre’s mission is clear: create timeless dance floor experiences, connect through music, and push boundaries with every set and every track.

Boom-bapping his way out of Denver, Colorado, Rhyme Progression is a hip-hop emcee and producer in the prime of his grind. Rhyme Pro is often referred to as a mix of Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and Grieves. In 2009 Rob “Rhyme Progression” Fischer traveled to NYU to hone in on his musical abilities. While there he met up with many like-minded individuals that gave him a new insight on music. He learned the tricks to making raw underground hip-hop, from sampling records to introspective lyricism. Since the New York experience Rhyme Progression has managed to cause quite the national buzz, doing well over 50 shows in 2011 from Colorado to South Dakota and even Montana. In August of 2012 he headlined his first national tour which hit most of the Western United States. On stage he delivers an energetic, interactive show with DJ Blacksheep(Anthony Kunovic). In August of 2011 Rhyme Progression released his debut full-length album, All I Have is Music, which features Sapient of the Portland, OR based hip-hop group, Sandpeople. Rhyme Progression released the Awoken EP in August of 2012 which has since been well reviewed and been featured on many college radio stations. It features Mac Lethal and while the 5 track EP was entirely produced by Rhyme Pro, there are 5 additional tracks produced by Blacksheep, Crates, and Maulskull. Currently Rhyme Pro is working on Half-Awake Tapes, which is a series of four track self-produced EP's. Keep your eyes and ears out for this new, young, and fresh artist as he continues his conquest of the hip-hop genre. 

I first got into electronic inspired music back in the early 1980's when I was 7 or 8 years old, I didn't really know what it was all about back then but loved the rawness of the sound . Early electric music from Kraftwerk and early hip hop from the likes of Grand Master Flash was to shape my future taste. Towards the end of the eighties the acid house era was bourne followed by rave music, I was drawn to this music even more but it wasn't until the early to mid nineties that I truly discovered my passion. Having spent most of my late teens to mid to late twenties partying in many of the uk's top clubs it was to be the famous Orbit in Morley Leeds that would give inspiration to start collecting as much Techno inspired music as I could. I soon discovered it was the sound of detroit, berlin, brooklyn, birmingham and tokyo that I loved. Shortly after I purchased my first set of decks and started to hone my shills as a dj, although I never got to play any where major I did do some underground parties and loved it. In the mid nineties myself and 3 other like minded individuals got our first taste of production, using the legendry roland 303, quasimidi, yamaha samplers, mics. vocoders and different effects hardware. We called ourselves Dark Colony, played some local parties and had several hours worth of material before we eventually disbanded as our lives took on different paths. It wasn't until 2001 that I met Paul Cottam who was to relight my passion for techno, this guy has given me so much inspiration and determination. I have now been producing and recording for the last twelve months or so and feel I'm improving all the time.
