you need to find the temple

November 12, I'll be returning to the DJ booth -- I'll be spinning the upstairs dance floor at Die Maschinen that night. I'd suggest you all come out, but just about everyone reading this either lives too far away, promotes the club already, or promotes a competing night. Heh

Sorry, but those are all terrible. And I've worked (for many years and quite successfully) in marketing, so speak with some expertise. Those may resonate with aspects of your life or personality to you, but a Stage Name is part of your commercial promotion. It must instantaneously *evoke* the emotional reaction you want from people reading or speaking it, and it must flow from the tongue, so people will be happy to tell their friends about you!

dj mechagojira (<-- too long, poor cadence)

dj ductile (<-- overuse of "d" sounds, unintelligible)

dj seppukake (<-- the best here, but still unintelligible unless you happen to know what it is... it is more-or-less pronouncable and the lack of common knowledge might intrigue people)

dj armored weapon (<-- too long, poor cadence, unintelligible)

dj seismic retrofit (<-- see above, this is your second best, tho' "DJ Seismic" or "DJ Retrofit" (or DJ Seismix/Retrofix?) would be better. I'm rather fond of "DJ Seismix" actually... for a 3 second brainstorm, it's pretty cool... captures the awesome power of earth movements, and has "mix" which is good for DJ's. It's clever, and rolls off the tongue smoothly. Yeah... go with that one.) :)

dj snugglerape (<-- oh please... apart from being inflammatory, this concatonation of antithetical concepts creates cognitive dissonance. Do you want people's mental gears to jam momentarily every time they think of you or read your name on a flyer?)

Yes. Yes I do. =)
