Darin Epsilon (born September 26, 1983) is a music producer, DJ, radio personality, record label owner, and music critic from Chicago, widely considered the birthplace of House music. He currently resides in Los Angeles as of 2009.

He is primarily known for electronic dance music, with productions appearing in the compilations of Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo , Armin van Buuren , Markus Schulz , and Paul Oakenfold , among many others. His music has appeared on film and television, and is used by global brands such as MTV, American DJ, American Audio, and Elation Professional. USL Magazine proclaimed him "King of Progressive House" in May 2012, and Clubbing9ine.com referred to him as "North America’s leading figure in pure Progressive House" in December 2012.

He currently hosts a monthly radio show and podcast called Perspectives. Established in November 2006, the show is split into two parts, with the first being his own 60 minute set, followed by a guest mix from an established artist. Perspectives has allowed him to feature dozens of respected names in the industry including Darren Emerson (formerly of Underworld (band)), Max Graham, Robert Babicz, Max Cooper, Guy J, Jody Wisternoff (one-half Way Out West with Nick Warren), and many more. The first broadcasts were on Digitally Imported (DI.fm), but the program has since moved to Frisky Radio. His record label Perspectives Digital was launched in November 2010 as an extension of the brand, further solidifying his influence and presence within the global dance community.

During the summer of 2011, John Digweed named Darin as one of the winners in his 'Structures' DJ Mix Competition, sponsored by Bedrock, Ableton Live, and Novation. The all-star panel of judges comprised of Oliver Lieb, Nick Muir, Gavin Kingsley (King Unique), Robert Babicz, and Digweed himself. Contestants were required to put together their best 25 to 30 minute mix using the tracks that appeared on the 'Structures Two' compilation. To make it even more special, 'Structures' DJ tools were included to weave into their sets.

As a DJ, he has shared the stage with many of dance music’s superstars including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, John Digweed, Sasha, James Zabiela, Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, BT, and countless others. He has performed at North America’s biggest festivals including Beyond Wonderland, White Wonderland, Nocturnal Wonderland, and Ultra Music Festival. He has also been invited to headline shows in Argentina, Kenya, Russia, UK, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Bulgaria, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica.

Asides from focusing on his own career, Darin has a monthly column in Tilllate (formerly M8 Magazine), where he reviews new releases in the Progressive House and Tech House genres. Each issue is viewed over 250,000 times, according to Calameo.com, with its primary audience being in the United Kingdom.
