Has Tiesto dropped his name
View this Thread in Original format

I was wondering has Tiesto dropped his "DJ" name as in DJ Tiesto? On albums & compliations now its always Tiesto whereas in the past it was DJ Tiesto. I am a big fan of tiesto but is he too big to have a dj name?

Regards

It's evolution. Some people change music style, he just removed the "DJ".

Oh, wait, he also changed his music style. Whatever...
Mr.Mystery
You answered your own question there.

I hated the "DJ" in his name; or any other djs for that matter. It is just such a stereotype of the electronica genre. Dj this Dj that blah blah.

If indeed he has dropped it then that is good.

Yeah, it got watered down by all the newbie producers who call themselves DJ's when they have never even seen a turntable.

maybe its a way to distinguish them from live acts, who'l often have a single word for their name...also i think to do with how djs traditionally always put 'dj' before their name back in the day.

if people know who they r though they dont really need to distinguish them selfs from anybody by putting 2 letters infront of there name
svens_bath
no i mean just to distinguish them as being a dj and not a live act, especially when theyre just starting out. who knows though.

Yeah on my ticket to his concert in Montreal last saturday it clearly just said "TIESTO" in big letters, no DJ anywhere.

For the best i guess.

well.. his MC at TIC2 sure had no fn clue he switched them up, from DJ TIESTO to TIESTO to WHOS THAT DJ, to (replace your tiesto nickname here he probably said it).

yeah, somewhere circa late 2002/early 2003, he realised he wasn't worthy of the title and dropped it.
