DJ Name/Handle

Your putting the cart before the horse, your peers will “give” you your Dj name. But you need to get out, everywhere you can, and see what’s up and introduce yourself(not your persona). The bedroom is FOR SLEEP! Dj’s move into the Living room at my house. (I have a ns-7 , studio Mon.’s, Kaosilater Pro and Computer sitting on the coffee table, (kids set-up)

Deco Del Rey sounds cool to me and is something totally different.
The others just sound like the usual DJ anagrams which is not my style. Also not putting DJ in front of your DJ name is “the cool thing to do” these days. (Thankfully I did that …. I was a rebel at my time hehe)

It took me quite a while to settle on a DJ name myself.. it’s a HUGE decision in my opinion! The key points to remember are:

1. It is easy to say? Try to avoid long names with too many syllables.
2. Can you remember it easy? Remember you want people to walk away from your gig and telling your friends that DJ “XX” was amazing.. and not… “Oh yeah.. that one guy who closed the night was awesome”
3. Think marketing as well. How will it look on an E-flyer or what images can you associate with your name that would be a cool logo?
4. Keep it non-music specific! You don’t want your DJ name to be something like “DJ 100% DubStep” and then you DJ at a Trance gig.. and people will think “umm..that is odd considering his DJ name”

For me I choose my name because I’ve been a Type 1 Diabetic since I was 8… so have always been around medical stuff. I love the red cross logo and it is quite marketable! I throw on a red cross hat and people will automatically know who is up at the decks (plus I like to throw some ambulance/ hospital sounds throughout my mix). Of course I’m no expert by any means and these are just my opinions.. but I hope I was able to help!

Esentially it seems to be that Nicknames= DJ Names lately,so yeah safest route,it’s how i got mine.Always wore a black neckerchief around my neck,still do,people called me black rag so i stuck with it.The sad fact that i was treated like a rag as a kid by others adding to the names deepness.
