BALLISTIC SOLUTION7 Nov 2003, 15:08 i've listened to t[]c for quite some time, & have, within the last 6 months explored other artists in the genre... i thought this evening, well, what the hell were some of these people on when they came up with their names?! some i can understand, like the whole trance-(add your word here) ;) no offense t[]c, yours is one of the better ones...you make trance your bitch! lol :lol: . & trancefuzion...ok, cool, anything with "trans" is open...just god forbid that there is "trancevestite" or "trancesexual" out there somewhere...lmao... (i swear ben, i'm not trying to single you out! sorry man, buy you a beer :) ) ok, so here's where i'm going with this...just heard a track from jon the dentist...outstanding name, albeit for a punk band or industrial outfit like i used to be in...so what off topic (as you will) names have you folks come up with before settling on the ones that you go by now? it puts the "what happened on your birthday" question to shame! sorta...
cheers,
mac....now known as "two point five"
aka "ballistic solution" formerly known as "vektor_fiv" , "choking on lies" , "chemical warfare" , "i hate everything" , "rehab4quitters" , "jesus christ action-figures".... the list goes on....Dj-M7 Nov 2003, 18:27 I used to just use my name (Salim Shaksy). But then I came up with the name Dj Mandazi. Wich is kind of stupid. Mandazi is a kind of food we eat around here. :D .OneLoneMan8 Nov 2003, 01:25 I know that this doesn't fit your question as I have never had a band much less a name for one. But how about "Tranceportation"? Or "Tranceparent"? Or "Trancefixed"? Or "Trancecontinental"? :woot:Trancefuzion8 Nov 2003, 01:58 OneLoneMan wrote: I know that this doesn't fit your question as I have never had a band much less a name for one.

Hehe I know that both Tranceparent and Trancecontinental are taken already.
Actually Tranceparent used to be one of my favorite groups. Check them out:
www.mp3.com/tranceparentterraplex8 Nov 2003, 14:13 I was just gonna be DJ Alex C as its my name, but i found there was someone else called it, so terraplex poped in 2 my head and its stuck ever since!TranceSynthVania8 Nov 2003, 16:29 At first I went under "DJ K" and made shitty music, and then I changed to TranceSynthVania, and still made shitty music :D
But I think a name like TranceSynthVania is too weird.. so when I'm gonna send in demos, I'm gonna find another name to use.ephex8 Nov 2003, 17:07 If you want a really spectacular name, just let one come to you. The more you try to make one the harder it will get...
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I came up with my name, but it's surprisingly uncommon... so I stuck with it.David McGowan9 Nov 2003, 00:41 I used to have alias's like Dj gray , or mx6, but i kinda got tired of everyone being DJ this or Dj that. and someone on the boards thought for some strange reason my real name sounded cool, why i do not know. so i decided id just produce under my real name, and have done so for a while now.
David :lol:ephex9 Nov 2003, 04:38 I never did get that either! All these artists with DJ in front of their name when they are really producing not DJ'ing...
David McGowan is a kind of cool name though, Chris[topher] Farber isn't that great so I will probably never release tracks under my regular name.Dj-M10 Nov 2003, 14:46 some people use 'DJ' something because they used to be DJs then started to produce..............not me though :Plingk17 Nov 2003, 14:44 I use lingk, its said " link " but I have a " G " in there because my first and last name start with a G, so I thought I would put it in there.. but a funny thing I found out, is that it's a last name in some parts of the world... I think I'm going to keep it, because well I'm well known by that name on the net and in real life so. I might change it when someone complains about it sometime or a nother, so. yeah, thats my story and i'm sticking to it!OOBE20 Nov 2003, 06:50 Yead David, your same sounds very cool...that's the first thing I noticed when I first signed up here. :)
It has this artistic air to it :Pt[]c lover21 Nov 2003, 00:25 i am nothing. i dont make music, but machineries of heaven has nothing to do with anything.
