However, if an artist releases a record every 2 weeks under the same name, it will look bad. People assume that if you are making things fast, you probably aren't taking good care of the music. This is not alwayss the case - some people are just bursting with ideas. Others need a long time per track. Plus the technology has advanced to a point where you can produce that quickly without sacrificing ideas. However, you cant keep thhat pace up for long. I used a lot of names in Kniteforce, but it wore me down and within a few years i was bust.
I maintain 3 well used names...Luna-C, Cru-l-t and Psycangle.
All the Luna-C records are the best i can do for my own personal love of making music. Doesn't mean they sell best, but they satisfy the urge that makes me want to create. I usually have a big plan and a set of ideas, usually evolving around a theme or way to structure a track when I make a Luna-C release. these records are me making music regardless of thought about sales or whats cool or what will people respect.
I use Cru-l-t for projects which i restrain my style a bit, and try to make something that i can play to a crowd and they will dance to. Someof my Luna-C releases, well...they are more for the head thann for the feet, I think.
Psycanlge is for gabba.
For me, each of these naames is a different artist - I feel different when i make those tracks. If i wake up feeling like Psycangle, gabba is what comes.
The reason Luna-C may still do gabba sometimes is because thats my unrestricted self and I will use any element of any style when i am Luna-C. However, you will never hear a Gabba Cru-l-t track or an old skool Psycangle track because thats not what they do.




Well said.

the biggest dj i can think of that goes under a different name is

Tiesto = Allure, Da Joker, Drumfire, Paradise In Drums and Tom Ace. There is more but i can't remember them of the top of my head

If you listen to these tunes it obvious that they are in a different style and thats why hes released it under an alias

Out of interest how many dj's actually use different names. I cant think of any.

Lots of producers use different names but no dj's that i can think of.
