I don’ t care much about artist’s names but yes it is kinda necessary , How I got mine , I use a lot of sequencer modules in the nord modular … all at a different rate …so I use the clockdivider modula a lot …to yep …slow down/divide certain sequencerclockrates…and since I ama verry gentle person …ahh …who gives a damn anyway …You know that wicked musician 'the gentle clockdivider ? O hh yeah that’s the guy who spends more time on forums then actually making music …Sigh
in my romantic opinion, an artist name should tell something about you. I’m italian, but do not feel much italian at all for a serie of reasons, that’s why I called myself It-Alien, the italian alien, which surely sucks as an artist name, but still fits to me.
if you have listed so many different artist names, it’s most likely that you are looking for an artist name which catches the eye instead of telling who you are, so I cannot really help you
That’s quite a list man! There’s actually some fantastic ones in there, I’m sure you’ll pick the right one (Please not DJ rocket jump, that’s just lollable). It looks a lot my list of future songtitles, whenever I finish a song I just refer to the list and pick out a title that seems to fit the song.
As for my alias, it’s gone through some transition in the last 8 years or so. The concept started out as “i/o organic industrialism”. It fits my personality because I am inspired by the beauty of nature, but also by the beauty of industrial creations… Factories, abandoned structures. And the fusion of those together.
This picture that I took of an abandoned hydroelectric facility sums it up…
Eventually I dropped the “industrialism” from my name because I didn’t want people to think I do industrial music. Started going by “i/o”, which was great, except slashes don’t do very well in a computer oriented world, and “io” alone is too short for usernames and email addresses. So I switched to “DJ i/o”, which was fine, except the slash still posed a problem. I eventually decided I didn’t want to be associated with the negative connotations that the “DJ” label implies… (generic dance music). So actually recently I’ve settled on “organic io”, (no more slash), which fits the bill, and is unique enough that nobody else would choose it. And I’m sticking with it this time.
I just used the internet handle I’ve been using since 1995… which I was inspired to use from a science encyclopedia when I came upon an article about a particle accelerator. I figured “BYTE-Smasher” was a somewhat subtly humerus reference to the slang “atom smasher”… and as I was in my entire hacker-wannabe phase at the time, I started using it. I was using “Empty Pulsations” for my music at the time though… and wasn’t going to use my nick as my music alias until I decided one day “fuck it, my nick fits my music better than any other name I could think up”
Either way… choosing a name that is representative of what you’re trying to achieve with your music is probably best. If you want your music to sound like robots, make a name out of robot cliches…etc.
My nick occasionally gets stolen… I’ve seen it used in a quake (or some other FPS) tourney… and someone also stoled it on slashdot… but hasn’t posted a single thing there.
I came across my nick after going to a Bonnie Prince Billy gig in Tokyo. Some obnoxious eejit in the audience kept screaming out for the same song at what was a fairly quiet and intimate gig. After about 45 minutes of abuse, Will Oldham just addressed this guy straight: “What are you, my sidekick?”
I also like the humble connotations built in to sidekick. I’m happy to be a Tonto or a Pancho.
Now some stupid fucking telecommunications device is called the sidekick, plus I am paranoid people will think I chose it because of the plugin.
(incidentally I am part of a two piece called “finkophile” - that’s another story)
just make a bunch of music, and release it under a bunch of different names.
who says you can’t have 100 different names? the man That’s Who!
i think of names all the time.
i don’t use 99% of them. cuz, well i’m only one person.
so i stick with rotating several of them until i drop a few.
the thing about names, in electronic music is this:
when someone hears good about you, they go an find everything you have done, right? yes. so to keep the world on their toes. you change shit up every now an then. keeps people off your coat tails. allowing mystery. and everyone loves a mystery…
My original internet name used to be Fluxuation, which got shortened to Flux at some point. When I began releasing music, I realised that Flux was going to be fairly common, so I changed it to frux/fruxxo after people in an IRC channel I used to frequent started calling me fruxxo-san.
) as you can tell this gets progressively less serious after about the first 4… 
and just so you know, its supposed to be for solo electronic music, not a death metal band (surprise surprise)
It looks a lot my list of future songtitles, whenever I finish a song I just refer to the list and pick out a title that seems to fit the song.
