How did you come up with your name?

SilentK was never supposed to be anything serious, and I've been trying to come up with something new recently but i'm completely stuck
Tried going down the ancient Egyptian gods route (I'm part egyptian), liked the name Anubis, but a quick search on soundcloud revealed it's taken

So how did you come up with yours?

James Marsh.

The name kinda loses the swampy vibe when i reveal that lil nugget!

clutching at straws really

Mine all came about in primary school. my nickname was gazza but a new kid joined the school called gary so every called him gazza. Some brightspark decided my new nickname should be geeza and it stuck ever since.

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

oh marshy....

BaronRogue--

Baron is my old best friend's middle name
Rogue was his roommates character class in WorldOfWarcraft

hahaha hows that for a mystique-crusher, marshy?

but put together i like how it brings to mind a tubby old Baron stealing from his peons... and modern day "Baron Rogues" that do similar grimey things to people who they convince themselves they have control over

pssshh i feel silly now

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.
