How did you come up with your DJ Name?

Thats my name! I’d feel a bit pretentious! I’m no richie hawtin!
And a bit of everything, I’ve not really settled on a style, mostly electro house with some dubstep and hip-hop thrown in there.

Richie Hawtin doesn’t have a problem with it, although I hear he’s becoming more active with Plastikman.

Steve Aoki and Calvin Harris don’t seem to have a problem either. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere Calvin Harris is a pseudonym.
How ever I suppose I could use my own name, just worrying about in the future when I have all these number ones releases and groupies, I don’t want them hunting my name down in the phone book…

Well, you can go by Axel Fells, with the following added bonus : if you get to play an 80’s themed gig, you can shorten it to Axel F. :stuck_out_tongue:

You guys have settled it! I’m going to rock the hair metal look.

Devon John Seitz…Use to be DJ Seitz…lolz the irony

Take the first four letters of your name take the first letter of your middle name and the second letter of your last name. I am DJ Chrime!!!

I am DJ Andrlr lol

this is off topic but your videos are very cool Micah! The promo one is very professional and the song is catchy…btw what are those lasers in the 40 sec video? those are sweet.

and i got my name from a tv show called Detroit 1-8-7…they had a tag artist the cops were trying to catch called nuke5 and i just thought it was interesting and different!

i’m pretty sure it’s pronounced Lemon LimThree

DJ Richor lmao

You got a point:

hahaa

This.

And yeah, LmnLm3 is [lemon-lime] remove vowels, but it needed 3 and 3 so a 3 for the E on the end.

But my given name is quite plain, so I needed something with more pop. If My name was Micah though, I think I would play with that, even if you don’t use your last name. Micah → Mike (microphone) ->Phone (headphones) = Micah Phono but that’s just me rambling.

Mic a la Phones =D

Ignore me, I’m silly!
[edit] Haha thank you Duerr, I didn’t see your post there [/edit]

i one day realised that at any party where they would play that kinda music i spin, i would be the guy on the dancefloor (or any other place) jumping around like a mad man.

so thats illstep.

i was going with duttylectric first, but i haven’t yet found a single german person who would pronounce this right and most everybody would write duttyelectric.

Hey,
I’m in trouble with finding a decent name too :disappointed:

I liked “dope” but some say it’s pretencious, and btw there is a metal group called that way too.
Can’t either use my real name, “Alexandre Lacroix” is just too big.

I’m stuck.

No man, it’s just perfect!

Your name sounds good. Better than all the ‘DJ Krunchaholic’ versions and so on…

same issue here.

Suddenly got asked for a gig, unexpectedly, and now i need to come up with a name…

My normal name (bob vrijhof) is too Dutch and sounds weird, and i want something simple thats symbolic for me and my music… ( melodical Deephouse and also leaning toward softer tech house)…

Maybe someone could point me into a direction, but i think i’ll have to come up with something myself eventually.

some parts i thought of using were my middle names (Marcus Carolus) and translating part of my last name (vrij = free) but it mostly turns out cheesy…

its hard.
