Need some help with developing an EDM stage name.

Hi, DJ TechTools.

I am 18 and in the process of re-branding myself for upcoming gigs and festivals, and need a new name. I produce drumstep and glitch mainly, and I need some ideas for a punchy, memorable name. I have rattled my brain and cant think of anything particularly catchy apart from “Aphelion”. Preferably, I would like something double barrelled, I just need some ideas…

Thanks…

Variants of skrillex seem quite vogue:

Skrillec
Scrillo
Rillo-C
Skrillem
Skrillox
Squirex
X-Skrill

Then there’s the trend of numbers substituting letters, i.e. :

5krillex
Sk111
S61l8om
Skrillmau2
R1l73x

Anyway, I’m pretty sure music counts for more, stage personas are more cliche by the day anyways.

There are too many variations of Skrillex. Everything has an “x” in it these days…

what about your real name?

10

Ha! That’s not original. Who would want to actually go by that? Your DJ/Stage name shows how creative you are, before you even play anything. People will judge you by that… so it’s gotta be good.

11

Are you trolling?

12

I used to go by the name Aphelion. Not that I ever released anything mind.
Also, my 5 second google search brought up several artists trading by that name.

13

you’re right, i should have went with a more rhyming style of “brutal poodle” instead…wait, just checked and the plural is being used already. how about one of these:

Scarecrow Boat
Mouse Rat
Malice in Chains
Punch Face Champion
Flames for Flames
The Andy Andy Andys
Andy and the D-Bags
Crackfinger
Department of Homeland Obscurity
Fourskin
Puppy Pendulum
Possum Pendulum
Penis Pendulum
Radwagon
Jet Black Pope
Muscle Confusion
Just the Tip
Fiveskin
Threeskin
Angel Snack
Nothing Rhymes With Orange
Everything Rhymes With Orange
Nothing Rhymes with Blorange
Ninja Dick

What if its the opposite though? if everyone is trying to be creative and different is anyone really creative and different?

15

i call dibs on “jet black pope”

16

prepare for the gigs to just roll in

17

I wonder what style i should claim?

18

it’s yours. just be sure your skills are always on point, otherwise people might start calling you “jet black poop.”

19

i get “radwagon” then…

20

how does yours come out?
