Name and promoting assistance needed please

So I’ve been a strip club DJ for close to 13 years and never had a DJ name ( i keep it as hip-hop/club/ as I can)…never really needed one. Now I’m trying to promote myself and the clubs I work at via FB and Twitter and have no alias save my name (Pat or Patrick). Noob request I’m sure but any help picking one would be appreciated as I’m crap for picking names (that don’t sound like super-villians or mad scientists). So far I’ve cracked about:

DJ DecibelKing (everyone says I have the music LOUD)

DJ RMX (I’m the one that usually brings in the new, remixed, or forgotten tracks)

DJ Tech (3 homebuilt desktops, IOS devices, and tech support to all my friends)

P.A.T. (one of my boys say my name stands for personal air time)

Also what do you think about using Facebook and Twitter for promoting?

decibelking sounds too ghetto imo

rmx reminds me of the hercules rmx controller

dj tech is a crappy chinese company that makes fisher price like dj controllers.

p.a.t. i dunno not feeling it.

remember the biggest dj’s in the world just use their own name. john digweed, sasha, paul oakenfold, bt (are initials), etc…

keep it simple, less is more.

good point, I read a post on here tonight (can’t remember the author) but they said they used “music by…” for their gigs. I thought about doing that as well. it’s just Patrick Martyn-Dow doesn’t seem to vent the Dj aura either hahaha.

4

do you have any mixes up on soundcloud? giving a listen might inspire me a bit (and others as well

5

not yet…it’s crazy cause I’ve been doing this for 13years or so but I just started working and making moves to take it beyond the strip club. A friend started using it to upload his mixes and I was looking into doing the same.

6

honestly I think PDMD is pretty good.

write the logo like EPMD and youre good to go.

7

damn.
i would love to spin at a strip club for 13 years.
haha

but yeah dude, keep it simple.
for instance my name is just ChrisEPIC lol random myspace name i had quite a few years back lol

8

what’s wronmg with sounding like a super-villians or mad scientist?

9

Nothing!

Actually, everything is right with those options…seriously guys, who of you does not dream of a career in super-villainism? I know, I do :sunglasses:

10

then we are sworn enemys. better watch your back the next time you try to rob a bank

and once again, the day is saved thanks to…

THEORY!

In theory…

Lol, the crotch rockets plate is SPRVILLN…love passing people with that tag on the back

A quick Soundcloud demo mix

https://soundcloud.com/pdmd/soundcloud-demo

Came into work and worked together the types of songs I’d drop on a busy night/peak hours. Mind you it’s a stripclub and I 'm still figuring out the mapping and functions of the 100se with Virtual DJ Pro Full (plus can’t figure out how to get it to let me listen to the main program and cue at the same time)

I used: 13" MBP, Audio 2 DJ, DJX750, and the VCI-100se.

14

Man, I would f*cking love to DJ in a strip club!

15

no you wouldnt.

as a guy thats dated 3 girls in the business. youll find only 2 kinds of girl in a strip club.

some of the smartest women youve ever met in your life, and some of the dumbest, low self asteem women youve ever met in your life.

theres no middle ground “in the business”

16

all i had a flash of when i heard strip club dj was to that southpark episode “lil crime stoppers”

“And now give it up for the lovely Rebecccuhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

( i tried to find the clip but am late for work and didnt have enough time :disappointed: )

17

So you speculated an idea to save the day, shared it with your super hero counterparts and discussed it? :wink:

18

True enough…the only middle ground are those who do it for a short (2weeks-1year) time. Working in one will give you not only the most incredible mind fuck of your life but the most in depth knowledge and perspective things it take most people a lifetime to decipher…Double edged sword, that.

umm any thoughts on a name, i’m thinking of going the PDMD route but not sure how the epmd logo would work. found this that could be reworked (Lord knows the mix i did needs the same touch).

I like T N A, of course I’d love to DJ in a strip club!

I never said I wanna marry a stripper! lol
