When I started DJing regularily at a big club in 1999 he had just returned from a 6 months journey to Chile where I had let my hair and beard grow long. Back then I always used to play a lot of disco records later in the evening (despite disco was kind of EH! for the hardcore jazz & funkheads that used to frequent the club). Some day my boss and DJ colleague called me Disco Che in a conversation. The name stuck and I used it for my Soulstrut handle when I registered.
Mine comes from this weird-o-lisping-probably-latent-homosexual-60-somethin-missing-three-fingers dude who ran
a stall at my favorite flea back in the mid 90's. Dude would talk my ear off about Beatles crust and sell me jazz-funk terds
for a buck. After a few years, one day he started calling me "The Vinyl Stalker". He disappeared shortly after that,
but the name stuck with me.
mine is actually pretty dumb. in my previous life as a jock, i would only wear number 6, superstition n' that. my first dj gig, i went by the roman numeral.... VI, which got little to no attention, so it got lengthened to 'vintageinfants' to show my love of juxtaposition (ha!).
in the sparse dj gigs since then, ive never used the same name twice, for no other reason that i liked coming up with dj names.
other monikers included phallic baldwin, girth brooks, flirt reynolds, keffah sutherland, dj tanner, etc. etc. etc....
someone sent me a list a while back of other names used by yrs truly:
Trilly wonka
David cop-a-feel
Jude Lawrys
Vaseline dion
Jean claude trans am
Floss gellar
Gnarly sheen
Menace eckersley
I did the same sort of thing back when I used to write for Vice.
Gaseous Clay
Retardo Montalban
Suge Nightlight
The next time I'm booked for a house/techno type gig I'm going by Armand Van Halen

the short version, i smoke a lot of cigarettes & i like robots. plus i thought the idea of a robot built solely to smoke cigarettes was hillarious. there's a slew of other multiple entrendres in there too, the smoking robot is an actual toy machine where the robot usual emits smoke and sparks i assume from a piece of flint? i dont know, i didnt travel too far down that path.

My current user name is named after a record I put out. pretty simple. my previous user name "nobbyknucks" on the other hand....
around 6th grade my close friend used to say I had knobby fingers. my knuckles are kind of inflamed and look like ETs fingers.
late middle school he started writing graffiti and came up with my tag "knobs" but he was really slow and drew a piece for me and it said "nobs". I told him there's a K in knobs and he was like oh well. it stuck. nobbyknucks was just a variation of this name that people called me throughout the years.
from my style of play on the basketball court...double digits in fouls, turnovers and bricks
jus playing...i used to pretty good when i played a lot. inside outside game, strong d, talk a lot of yap. working on getting it all back now.
Hey Tony,
I hear you, man!!! I'll be sure to bring my ball sneakers the next time I'm down in Illadelphia, so I can show you how Central Jerz gets down. My username is my produce/DJ name, which describes my record collection.
bring it!! i refuse to get schooled by a tenured professor
ive been going to the park across the street everyday since the game the sixers beat the heat...mostly just getting the feel back. havent run full yet, but its on the short term agenda to get the wind back. give a holler stax!

I don't know about where you live, but in the UK knob is slang for dick, and can be used in the same ways you're a **** or suck my ****.

Ha ha. These are great. Although I'm easily impressed as I truly suck at coming up with a good nom de plume. I generally end up calling myself something unintentionally derogatory. words are not my friends.
My name is Swedish for "Softy" or something like that - I've never used it for anything else, but I thought it'd be funny to choose a name that's semi-pronouncable in english, but with a hidden meaning.
I mean this with all due respect and not to make fun at your expense but I'm not sure if you're aware that if you do pronounce your alias in English, it is phonetically very close, if not almost indistinguishable to the word "mucus"...
Why not go all the way and rock a matching avatar:
Yeah, that was my thought exactly - that it would be pronounced as "Mucus". I liked the contrast between the different meanings of the two words I guess. I would but the "Nattmara" LP cover is too good to replace... I get to rep two of my favourite Swedes, synthdude Ralph Lundsten and master illustrator Hans Arnold.
Plus, you know, I get off on the whole monster women with tentacles thing.
i picked it based on the track "spiv" by brian bennett off of the drama montage 2 library record because i couldn't think of anything else. the song is totally tepid sleaze funk. my user name used to be spiv but i asked to change it back when people were having that big name change happening here on the strut and got spivy instead... gah!
Obscure biblical figure, hated on by Paul, stricken blind by God for being a false prophet. My variation of my friend Carlos' nickname 'Barlos', back when we took lots of bars (Xanax). My other nickname is Greg Iz, short for Gregism.

While I do love fog, I would never hog it all to myself.

spoonie gee = favorite rapper
tee = what folks call me
haha
I don't use street names anymore. Stayin outta trouble. I woulda had to say my parents were beatnicks or something lol
said with an old-timey cliche NY accent.
Sounds like a Baltimore name. Any connection?
Maybe your new name should be dick knuckle.
Ballsy choice then!
And that's a pretty wild record cover for sure.
I think I got it from 'The Wire', it was either that or Snot Boogie.
it was alraedy my campus nickname (even professors and administrators) but it became my dj name when i had a radio show for three years.
And the president.
