Perspectives is involved with various projects that contribute to its success.  Music licensing, live events, and remix competitions have assisted in growing the label and expanding its fanbase.  Record label showcases are organized and held during the world-renowned events such as Amsterdam Dance Event and Miami Winter Music Conference.

In 2015, Perspectives Digital partnered with Beatport Play to organize a remix competition for "Outliers" by Darin Epsilon and Cid Inc.  The competition proved a major success with over 250 submissions.  Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic vs. Rick Pier O’Neil were named the Grand Prize winners with Subandrio, SummerMarian, and Solid Stone as the runners-up.  The Community Pick winner was awarded to Las Vegas based producer Nathan Clement.

Perspectives teamed up with Sonic Academy in June 2017 for a remix competition of Darin Epsilon's "One Thousand and One Nights".  Epsilon provided Sonic Academy detailed videos explaining how the track was made, later giving the contestants an opportunity to download the project file and stems.  Even though this was the first time any website created a tutorial dedicated to producing classic Progressive House, Sonic Academy received a record number of submissions with Paul Kardos, Ejaz Ahamed, and Magnetic Brothers being named the winners.

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 in Sunderland, Dharma has surfaced with a formidable musical background - performing as a multi-instrumentalist in orchestras, bands, and most recently as an electronic music producer. Dharma’s distinctive, yet unique sound takes major influences from the likes of The Prodigy, Aphex Twin.

Still only in his twenties, Dharma has released on a flurry of labels, most notably, Permanent Vacation where he received support from the likes of Alan Fitzpatrick and CRI.

The start of 2022 saw Dharma release 3 EP’s over a 4 month period. The first being on Newcastle based label Ape-x where he delivered a monster 4 track EP ‘Escaping The Harddrive’ which explores the realms of ambient, house, techno, breakbeat, jungle, and beyond. 
The release received a wide range of support and received positive feedback from dance music heavyweights Daniel Avery, Skream and Erol Alkan.

Aside from his own productions, Dharma has been on the receiving end of a wide range of remix projects. Some of the remixer's names include the likes of Marc Pinol, Omri Smadar and Boy Short’s and in 2022 Dharma delivered some of his own remixes, most notably, remixing fellow north easterner Man Power on his renowned ‘Me Me Me’ label.

2023 plans to be a huge year for Dharma as he prepares for releases Me Me Me and his much anticipated debut on the dance music heavy weight R & S Records.

DJ Merritt is one of those premier DJ's that was not only  comfortable on stage in front of thousands, but also spinning to over 250,000 people every week on his famous Saturday night mixshow EdgeClub for almost two decades.  Merritt carried that realization when he went back to college in Shreveport, La. and on his startup college radio show on Centenary's KSCL.  "...I had a show called the Friday Night Rave.  Nobody had ever even heard the term rave before, but the weird thing was people were starting to take notice.  This was a tiny station with not much footprint and yea... people were listening."  Merritt was still living and attending school in Shreveport and was having friends smuggle tapes back so they could hear the newest sounds.  "Hearing Jeff K do Edgeclub was validating what I was doing on the college station.  I knew I had to get back to Dallas."  The scene was moving fast.  The time was fresh, "...and we knew we were on to something special" Merritt recounts. "The scene was growing, but the number of players were still small." Merritt, still shy of his degree in college,  "..knew I needed to be closer to the action and found a school an hour away that would take all of my credits from Centenary.  I would work all weekend and sometimes during the week driving back and forth to my apartment at East Texas State University in Commerce, TX."  

The schedule was rigorous, "I remember getting off work at 4am on Sundays at the Lizard Lounge, getting back to my apartment around 6am and then be in class at 8:20am for a full day."  The hard work paid off when he received a call from his mentor Jeff K.  "I remember the call vividly.  It was the first week in October [1994] and I was outside after one of my classes.  I get a call from Jeff asking to help him out each Saturday on Edgeclub." 
In 1996 Jeff K took up an opportunity to move to LA and help start the county's first electronic music station, GrooveRadio. After the nerves settled, Merritt took Edgeclub to new heights.  "It was crazy.  Everybody and their mothers were listening.  Here we are playing unfamiliar music and we're the number 2 show in all of Dallas/Ft. Worth."  By 1999, the show was enjoying it's highest ratings ever.  Edgeclub's market share was showing 1 out of 4 people listening to the radio on Saturday nights were locked in to DJ Merritt & Edgeclub.

With over a quarter million listeners it was inevitable that DJ Merritt would start producing music.  "I had started to accumulate some gear here and there.  A sampler, synthesizer, and a computer to tie it all together."  The summer of 1999 saw the first release from Merritt, "Slappin' Skinz" on the Torchbearers Compilation.  "From that point on it was a new bug... producing."  DJ Merritt has worked in the studio and released numerous tracks with Dave Aude, Left/Right, DatGuy, LehtMoJoe, Darren DuVall, Funk W, Kelly Reverb, Blake Potter and many more.  2001, saw the major label release of American DJ, Volume 2: Dallas with DJ Merritt at the helm.  
Over the years, Merritt has provided the opening sets alongside greats like: The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Todd Terry, Fabio & Grooverider, Groove Armada, Frankie Bones, DJ Dan, Derrick Carter, Fatboy Slim, Moby, Sven Vath, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, John Digweed, Ferry Corsten, & Green Velvet, Mark Farina, Carl Cox, & Dub Pistols to just name a handful.   
Edgeclub ended in November 2010.  It was the longest running and highest rated mixshow in the US.  Merritt has won the "Best DJ in Dallas" award a staggering 6 times from the Dallas Observer and in January 2015 was listed in the SunTimes as one of the top 100 DJ's in America.
He resides in Dallas with his wife, Kimberly, and 2 children.
