Live @ Avalon Hollywood w/ James Zabiela [May 28 2011] by Darin Epsilon

It’s hard to move forward while you’re looking behind. Sure, I appreciate the music and influence of those who came before, but I’m always looking ahead, searching for the next big thing.  Music, after all, is constantly evolving. There’s a time to reminisce, but one of the things that makes music fun is the fact that it’s an ever-changing art. Sometime the “establishment” sounds like they’re playing it safe. Where’s the innovation? They’ve made it to the top, they say. Why change the formula now?

Enter the future.  LA-based DJ/producer Darin Epsilon may be the man to save a dying genre. His mixes consistently floor me; the flawless blends, intuitive structure and mind-blowing technical abilities are all a cut above. Did you check out his Structures Mix Competition entry earlier this month? It’s no surprise he’s been chosen as a finalist. And some of the new music he’s released? Top-shelf! Between gigs, recording his Perspectives Radio Show, managing the Perspectives Digital label, and preparing for the release of “Detour On 44“ (out now!), I was able to pick his brain a bit about just how he got where he is today…

For the uninitiated: How do you classify your sound? Sell me in a single sentence…

I would say that the music I’m doing is a new combination or hybrid of Progressive and Tech House.  Call it proggy tech or techy prog, they’re both similarly related and influencing each other at the moment.

If there were a sentence to sum up my sound, it would be “dreamy and atmospheric with a chugging vibe”.
