i need a dj name

[im_ka]

hi everyone. i haven't been posting for a while, i've been busy doing other things. i started buying records, spending lots of time in the studio improving my mixing skills, etc...

could you help me find a dj name? it's still a long way til i can make mixes public (read: til i'm good enough), but i can't stop thinking about an appropiate name, so pleeeease help me

i'm playing breaks/breakbeat, mostly nuskool breaks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakbeat

the name should be short, cool, catchy, and possibly have at least a slight connection to what i'm doing.

any people from japan here? i just love listening to japanese language, i find it very cool, so maybe some japanese word would make it. maybe "music maker", "entertainer", "funky"... or something like that (you get the picture) in japanese? or any other cool japanese word? not that the music i spin had to do with japan, i just find it cool

generally, ANY ideas are welcome, post anything that comes to your mind. should be a kind of brainstorming.

thanks a lot in advance!

ok, bablefish gives this japanese word/expression for "entertainer":
芸能人

how would that read with latin letters?
(/me is assuming that there are some japanese users around )

ah, don't go with japanese. It's too trendy Everyone is obsessed with Japan. You should get something fresh, perhaps from a different language, but Japan is so overdone.

You should make your DJ name have to do with BSD or UN*X systems.

You could be:
"The Morphix"
"The Knoppix"
"Da Yoper"
"Fedora Man"
or
"Redhat Maniac"

Ubuntu doesn't work well for a DJ name, unfortunately. DJ Morphix doesn't sound bad, and you've got Linux street cred right off the bat

What does im-ka mean? Furthermore, how do you pronounce it? What's your name? You could always play on your first or last name.

[im_ka]

i don't necessarily wan't a *nix name... but morphix sounds cool

im_ka is from my name: Imre Kálomista. i've been using it as my "online name" for years, so "imka" would be an option... but i hope to find something cooler

thanks for the suggestions so far! i need moooooooooore

i've looked up morph in the wikipedia, it's a character from x-men... pretty cool. comic, cartoon character name suggestions are also welcome.

morph also means: can transform into everything... suggests musical versatility imho, which is a good thing

maybe i should play around with "ix"?

dj morphix sounds wicked

but IMO I love DJ's who are creative in there name there is a local DJ battler here in Vancouver (I can't remeber) but I know his name had something to do with love and be kind to others. I think it was japaneese(sp?).

but I think morphix would be the best. too bad DJ Mystic is taken (my fav)
