Darin Epsilon presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 011

Darin Epsilon (https://soundcloud.com/darinepsilon) presents United We Stream Podcast Nr. 011 🗯🗯 How Did Corona change your artist life? 🗯🗯 It changed virtually every aspect of my life as an artist. All my upcoming dates were cancelled overnight and any potential future gigs were put on hold indefinitely. My booking agency (which is now defunct) and I were in the middle of discussions with promoters in Argentina, Australia, Czech Republic, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Canada, and more. I was touring Thailand when I started noticing the situation becoming very serious. The Full Moon Party, which is the largest gathering in Koh Phangan and a huge part of their economy, was suddenly stopped without warning. By the time mid-March came around, I was in Hawaii doing my last performance before all international flights were blocked and lockdowns began. Running my record label Perspectives Digital has now become my full-time job. Mentally it’s been very challenging going from touring nearly every week down to zero, but thankfully there have been some positive things that came out of the pandemic. I’m spending more time at home and working on things that I previously didn’t have time for, such as studying German and watching production tutorials. I feel more connected with friends and family, plus I’m getting more sleep and staying healthier. 🗯🗯 Where did you record the mix and how did you feel? 🗯🗯 I recorded the mix in my home studio feeling extremely honored. I moved to Berlin 3 years ago hoping to accelerate my music career. It was so exciting to be approached by the Berlin Club Commission and be asked to provide a guest mix for United We Stream. Thank you so much for the chance to participate in such a unique concept and opportunity! 🗯🗯 What are your wishes for the time after Corona? 🗯🗯 I hope things return to normal soon and the economy bounces back quickly. It would be great if clubs can keep public hygiene in mind even when we’re not fighting a pandemic. If there’s one change I’d like to see going forward, it’s that promoters should not be so overly dependent on adding huge international acts to their lineups. I see this problem all the time when traveling to other countries. Many times people don’t feel interested to attend a show or think they won’t have a good time unless the event has at least one big headliner. The truth is, these extremely overpaid “big names” are merely just hype and not worth the price of admission. The audience can often have just as good of a time listening to local DJ’s. Local artists are the glue that hold this industry together and they deserve way more respect (and pay) than they’re currently getting! Don’t forget that every big headliner DJ you know started his or her career in small clubs. ✘ Darin Epsilon (Berlin / Los Angeles / Chicago) SC - https://soundcloud.com/darinepsilon FB - https://www.facebook.com/darinepsilon Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/darinepsilon Insta - https://www.instagram.com/darinepsilon ✘ United We Stream (Berlin / Global) FB - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/ WB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/ INSTA - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/ ✘ ARTE United We Stream https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/RC-019297/united-we-stream/
