Do *ANY* big DJs still use "DJ" in front of their name these days?

... was thinking about this today - and I think for the most part they've all done away with it.

I still remember when I got Blue Fear on Napster in 1998 and the filename was "DJ Armin - Blue Fear.mp3"

Cracks me up to this day.

DJ Cor Fijneman is one I can think of...

Maybe Tiesto as well?

maybe a reason:

when a dj got booked for a club 5 years ago they say dj armin because if they say armin they will think it's a band or a live act but by dj armin they will now he going to spin records


and i cant think up any djs who use it?

Actually, it only says Tiësto on the cover of Nyana.

Tiësto always released his cd's and productions/remixes as DJ Tiësto, but since a few months he doesn't use the DJ anymore.

Nyana was released as Tiësto and so are his remixes of Skin - Faithfulness and Kane - Rain Down On Me.

I don't know why most dj's don't use the DJ part in front of their name anymore though. Maybe because they want to be seen as artists and not strictly as dj's...

I have heard that Remy has dropped the dj tag from his alias. Look at his Bang EP. Generally I think people are loosing the dj tag...form what i have seen, which isn't much! :)
