indica and sativa are both strains of weed, so i just changed one letter to make it slightly less obvious 'indika' :wink:
just thought of it on the spot really, when i first started sending tunes out to mates for a laugh.

Doing my first set, 14 and BARE nervous.This place, the DJ controlled everything, lights etc.

So I went on, people started shouting strobe. Dropped one in. Left it on for 50 minutes. Some kid had an epileptic fit (who became a good friend of mine) and I was informed after my set. I was just so so so nervous my head was down in the decks the whole time.

So people nicknamed me Seizure.

It always bait trying to pick a name; do you put 'DJ' in front or is that lame now? Think of something relevant to you/the music you play/music in general/your hometown/your family?

I ended being given mine in a spur of the moment thing. Was playing at a hip hop night and was asked for a name and didnt have one... was playing around with Zen but felt a bit pretentious at the time... the mates I was doing the night with knew me as being a bit of a perv and a lady lover and had nicked named me Dirt Mc Girth ( in tribute to Ol Dirty Bastard as I was/am one!) So that got put on the flyers and posters and couldnn't go back. Its shortened down to DiRT now so its easy to use design wise on flyers an promo shit!

Agreed. when I first started I put the ol' DJ thing at the front.

But now I REALLY wish I hadn't

I study mathematics so I went through a math dictionary to find an appropriate name. I found "Floor Function" and I think I'm going to use it...

Feels kind of played out these days but it'll come back in style eventually. Kinda like how bands all suddenly have "The" in front of their names and then just as quickly, all the new bands don't have it to seperate themselves from the last generation.

Can't remember how I came up with mine but 'DJ BrutalRapist' was definitely a bad idea.
Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Mines kind of a stretch, I'm Era REdux.. The Era being brought back. Redux is also known as a weight loss supplement also known as dexfenfluramine hydrochloride, which got banned, since it lead to heart problems. I, coincidentally, have had 4 heart surgeries, which also fits the Redux part. Also on top of all that, the RE is capital since i use Reason / Record for my productions. The reason why i say the era being brought back is because i used tons of vintage synth samples. Nothing beats the old thickness of analog synthesizers. Once i get $3,500, i'll drop it on a Moog, Juno, Taurus, Odyssey, or even an old drum machine (tr-808, 606, etc) .. Too much thought, since my old name use to be thewilcode.

My band's name is "An Indigenous Sound," since we write all types of music. Mostly elevator music.

I had a phase (when I was about 15) to call myself Alt Ctrl Delete online and in games (I thought it was that instead of Ctrl Alt Delete). In one game a girl started calling me Alty, and it sort of caught on, which led me to calling myself that on most websites etc.

My old production alias came about because its a play on words Error Tech with an error in it (aswell im aussie and say erra instead of error), and also when i made it i was very erratic so it kindof was fitting.
