producing under a pseudonym

Post by datalus »

my chosen pseudonym at the time is also my forum name, datalus, but i was wondering if it was a bit too contrived or unoriginal.

would anyone else agree and as more of a point towards general discussion what in your opinion makes a good name?

I made industrial/hardcore as Element Abuse from the age of about 15 and I never put much thought into it. When i started making techno it took me about 2 weeks to think of Smear, and I only picked it because everyone I asked said they hated the name.

I dunno what makes a good name though. As long as you don't give yourself some horrible spanish or italian guy's name even though you're from Kaunas or Tromso or something, haha.

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 :P
