I knew I shouldn't have said it!

You know what I mean though, ultra sexy tight t-shirted DJ in shades posing, with a suitably sexy name like Juan Romero Valentino, who was actually born in Bognor Regis and his real name is Hector Sugden or something. And probabl plays a sample CD on all of his sets swooningly moaning 'Juan Romero Valentino In! The! Mix!'......you know the kind of guy i'm on about

jajajajjaja que risa! muy cierto.

it has happen more than once that when i see an alias that is just way too silly, i will not listen to his demo. Sometimes its just stronger than me to think that a bad alias rhymes with bad tastes. Also It can happen that a badly chosen alias makes me think the artist is hunting for a certain stardom which is another thing i cant stand. For instance, names like "minimal penetration" or "ultimate love" are IMO not something i want to promote through my label, even if his music is great... i just find it lame.

As for the name datalus, sounds cool to me

I also believe that the music will make the name cool or not, unless you have some nickname like pheek's examples; otherwise you can look how Troy McClure, Sara Goldfarb, Jickael Mackson, The Hacker, 2 dollar egg...have made the names look cool once you hear the music (IMO).

LOL! That is just an awesome name. Seriously, it's so lame that it's cool. Minimal Penetration. I will use it as a title, that's for sure.

How about the name Loco Motive? Is that something good?
