ez peeps, just bein a curious little bugger and wanted to know how everyone came up with their fancy producer alias names Big Grin There's definately some interesting ones floating about on this site thats for sure!

Anyways, my real name is Ketan, most my mates nowadays call me Ketz anyways - so that one was pretty straight forward! (although my missus called me mr stress oneday when we got stuck in traffic and that got me thinkin - hows about sumthin like "K-Stress"? nah? would work well with different styles of dnb?!!! lol

ha ha , hey man !!!!! well i`ve been djing 4 20 years , but i took me forever to come up with a name , my name is paul clark , and i dont really like being called clarky too much , and as u may well know theres quite a few dj clarkys going around !!! i can play alot of different types of music , i used to play alot in my local area and beyond , playing house and my name was ok 4 that , but as i play hip hop , dnb and other shit as well , i really needed to get a different name , but i always over anylise things and end up coming with nothing , but 1 morning when i woke up about 4 years ago i started thinking about it again , started thinking about STARWARS of course , and things to do with mixing and i was trying everything and then the FADER popped into my head , and then obviously i thought about DARTHVADER , then i put them togther and come up with my name , and it all made sence as that was when i really started changing the music i was playing , hip hop n shit , so there u go , thats how i got my name , take it easy mate , peace !!!!!!!

Nice one ketan, beat me to it

I got my name through scratching, im known for my use of 2 click flares, I pretty much use them in most of my combos, because its really easy to transistion from doing a really compilcated combination of scratches, anyways couple of my boys started calling me 2clix and I liked the sound of it so it just stuck....whats 2clix doing after the party...yep you guessed it 2chix Big Grin

plus it was the dark, mysterious bad guy from final fantasy 7, kinda describes what im trying to produce.
gonna be setting up 2 new myspaces as sephiroth and one under the alias Seraphim which is the highest order of angels under god, Seraphim will be for the lighter dnb, dub-step, breaks, etc. Drummer

Nice for all of you Big Grin Very nice stories...
I got my nick from the book "Dune" (as I presume you know already), Muad'Dib was a kangaroo mice (also, the main character's nick, too).

I am recently trying to transfer myself to another nickname, Andreinalin (or Andreinaline, whatever), alluding to my name (Andrej/Andrei) and the hormone of power (the adrenaline/epinephrine). But it's a bit hard because people are inert, they still come calling me Muad'Dib, and they all know me as Muad'Dib, so I'm sticking the new nickname in parenthesis right next to the old one, hoping one day I get to transfer it. Big Grin

That's the story Smile

about 4-5 years ago ,i had different allias "fat303" fat from that im quite fat Smile and 303 from roland tb303.It was a different story i was learning producing all kinds of shit ,most psy-trance ,and i had no interest in dnb then.

As i was leaving the country for England ,in I knew that i will produce and allready was fascinating with dnb ,i decide to come up with new allias,but i couldent find anything right.So i asked my 13 (at that time) years old sister to help me lol.So she was thinking and she came up with PARASITE which she said will be best for me because i was indeed like a parasite (livin with my parents paying not much for living) and also that sounds preety good compare to cheeseness which i was coming up.And Parasite it was ,but later i find out there is a dnb producer called parasite in England so i just change it slightly to PARACYTE.. there you go.

peace..

There's not much of a story behind my name, it's simply the Welsh version of 'Thomas'.

Well i was called Jimmy C as a few of you will know, which was simply my name and last initial Big Grin

was ok when i was just dj-ing in my local town in clubs etc but since iv stopped mixing and spent more time making tunes i realised i had to change it. Plus its quite similar to another quite well known english dj Tongue

so i was listening to some of my stuff on the bus on my mp3 player and was trying to think of names that would suit my sound and i cam up with Ghost.

Still not 100% with it but it'll do for now and at least its better than Jimmy C Tongue

When I got an AIM screenname The Return of the King just came out and this name was the only Lord of the Rings screenname without a number that wasn't taken. When I registered for the site I just took it because I was keen on just getting access to the sample packs and unlimited play counts Devil

Now I would like to be "Phalanx," it's the name for a formation of Greek hoplites or early Roman troops. I've always been interested in ancient history, especially Roman military history, and I think the word itself sounds pretty cool.

Throw an eye on the Macedonian phalanx organisation, they had pretty impressive strategy and war plan back then!

I came up with friscko when i made my first tunes on hammerhead. Because all of it was actually a joke about Tiësto's Traffic my "name" had to somewhat rhyme on it an be a bit ridiculous.

So I made a Pistache & Vanille EP, with tracks like "The girl from 26 years that smiled at me on the beach in Hawai when I was there on vacation when I was 19"

2 years ago I decided that Friscko didnt cover my productions and my mixing anymore. After thinking and making up unsatisfying aliases I got the idea to do something with Tinnitus after seeing a documentary about it on tv. So started thinkin, just messed up my real given name to Aron and put it in front of tinnitus.
The initials were the same as my real name so i liked it and stuck with it.


I recently picked Friscko up again to make ridiculous ableton clownstep mixes and mashups Big Grin
