LFpHUNK wrote:1) the majestic elephant is my favorite animal

2) LFOs are the best

3) black eyed peas had an album titled elefunk (i think)

4) spelling funk with a 'ph' rather than an 'f' makes me cooler

thus, LFpHUNK = Low Frequency funk but also = elephant with funk

It was actually Elephunk. Are you sure you want to be associated with the Black Eyed Peas though?

basicanarchy101 was an old hacer kid alias from when i was a little elementary school nerd! Over time, it got shortened to Basic A. and then plain Basic... here I am 10 years later n half the people in town refer too me as such n thats what I produce, forum, blog, promote, anything under... I dont know why people alwyas wanna change thier name, I couldnt imaigne beng anything but Basic A. ... then again, maybe mines just more a natural thing...

Anyone tryin to choose something, go with something catchy enough to become a full time nickname

... Its kinda nice when people who dont even know your works call you it.

Mike Higbee was a simple young man trying to spread the word of the Book of Mormon when he picked the wrong house to preach at! The owner, a porn director named Dubstep, tells his henchmen to kill the guy at the door who interrupted their scene, but Mike fights off the guards with great skill, which impresses Dubstep so much that he offers Mike the lead role in the movie he's making at the moment: Deadly Habit, which is about a sex superhero who fights crime with his Mid Range Wobbles and Big Fat Subs, his sidekick. Mike, against his beliefs, takes the job so that he can pay for the wedding he plans for he and his fiancee, who he doesn't tell about his risque new acting job. However, when the movie becomes an amazing hit just about everywhere and he finds out that Big Fat Subs has created a real Mid Range Wobbles, Mike is in some serious hot water!

I am pretty sure you described a dubstep version of the movie Orgasmo

Tangka · Post by **Tangka** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 6:54 am

for tangka, i just looked up above my desk one day and my name was on the wall. but it's actually spelled thangka i just thought that would be a bit too much.

for my new name, it took fucking forever, these are some discards:

4rtifact (somehow i keep thinking fartifact which is a shame because I think it's the most brilliant use of a number i've ever seen aside from that)
mythlogic
sourcemana
nutral
so on and so forth (not one of them)

the one just dawned on me one day and it fit perfectly with all the criteria. not revealing anything yet though.

step correct wrote: Believe it or not, in 1996 Step Correct was a pretty innovative and new School sounding name.. around the time all the DnB genres started splitting into different subs.. Techstep, jazzstep, jumpstep..etc.
Plus I really liked Source Direct's name.

step correct is still a sick name. lol. did you have a chicken soup mix? like old movementradio.com shit with steppa style?

One of my mates came up with JFK. No great story behind it, I kept it because it looks good on a flier and its easy to remember

My internet alias use to be 'Ser' for a game called Quake. I was playing under that name for many years and taking part in competitions around the world lol. I took part in a professional league in Dallas Texas and a magazine that interviewed me after the event had a headline that said “Serocks Dallas”.

I don’t play pro anymore but still play in European leagues if there are any other gamers on here:)

stereotactic · Post by **stereotactic** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 8:58 am

Totally by chance...

A colleague at work had a 'words' daily calendar, the type where you tear off a page each day and get a new word. Anyway, I loved that calendar as it always provided some obscure words with even more obscure meanings (something I have always had a bit of a penchant for), so she would always chuck 'em over for me to read...

One day she chucked me 'Stereotactic'. I immediately thought 'oh sweet, that's quality', then went on to read the meaning:

'involving or used in a surgical technique for directing a delicate instrument or beam or radiation in three planes using coordinates provided by medical imaging'

Beams of radiation on three planes? Sold

Got mine a few years back when making hip hop beats for a laugh... my last name is Jones... so remove the 's' and add a hyphen. Always wanted to change it, but hate coming up with names (I'd only cringe at the next one within a couple months anyway!).

got mine from mum and dad! LoL
but yrs back i use to play hard trance and breaks and i was playing under 2 different name's but i stop deejaying for a while before i got into production so i could not be bothered using any of my old dj name so i just decided to use my real name..but i also though of changing it to something dark and evil but i might just stick with it.. over the yrs from dj until now i might of change my name about 5times..its just a name tho at the end of the day its all about the music..

noizy parka · Post by **noizy parka** » Fri Jan 15, 2010 10:19 am

I usesd to have a DJ name that i hated (mamosa) and wanted to change it, my surnames Parker so i toyed with the idea of just calling myself Parker, as thats how everyone knows me... then my ex missus suggested Noizy Parker... then i thought id prefer Noizy Parka.
