dj tiësto will always be dj tiësto to me at least. IMO it's just a stupid fad not using the dj in front. you can use it or not, i don't care, whichever sounds better IMO. but no dj in front doesn't always sound better IMO. dj tiësto is a good example on this one.

BUT i do agree that most of these TA bedroom dj names with dj in front sound hella cheesy. stuff like dj mdma, dj xstacy, dj superphatassyoyoyomix0r0r0r etc. etc.
but sometimes the dj in front works quite nicely IMO.

I think this is something only really done in urban music now. I dont know any Trance DJ's that still do this. But plenty of drum n bass and hip hop ones that insist on doing it. I Personaly don't see the point, but whatever floats their boat...

It doesn't really bother me, but I agree that it is not cool any more to use DJ in front of the name. It'll come back in 2023... mark my words - as will raggy dolls.

i think it matters what the name is, for example... im using "Nicholas T" just sounds right like that, not "DJ Nicholas T" But "Tiesto" sounds better with "DJ Tiesto"

Cheers!

Sad Sack and Back to Back were good, but Hifi was the best.
