no freakin way.... i just went there and it's registered to some mobile christian dj. "friendship productions dj services"




BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!


what¿?

^ exactly. Actually, if you ask me... you should use your real name. It's the "in" thing to do these days. No matter what your name is, you look professional. With 404, you sound lost. With fluffy, you sound... soft, weak, a joke. Don't get me wrong, the name Fluffypuppy is awesome. I love it. It just may be a hard sell.

Yeah, even though I write d&b, done some mixes and people know me as a d&b DJ, half my sets I've done in my life have been trance.  Some of the gigs I've done, I felt people will be more receptive to trance.  But one in August, played a whole drum n bass set and actually sold some cds.

So far what I've seen, its a hard genre like Doug said.  Really some of the scene gets really awful too, noticing this when I joined a new drum n bass forum year ago.  Recently I've been getting into the liquid/funk style dnb like logistics, kubiks and spearhead, but this forum catered to the harder stuff.  Kinda have to watch for that.

I would consider your real name or keep 404, since everyone knows you by that.  I couldn't consider my real name and be confused with a kid's tv show.

The name is meant to be ironic since it is a soft, sweet, and cute name playing some dark and deep, almost angry sounds. It's a puppy with a bite. 

I can imagine it will be a hard sell, I will let the mixes and the marketing sell the name. If it fails, fine, but at least I stayed true to myself. I can't go out and spin drum&bass as Chris Salisbury. It is a horrid name. I even tried to ditch 404 for it back in 2002 - 2003 and the majority of you said it was a bad move. I ultimately agree with you. That is also why I can't spin drum&bass with the name dj404. I have built up a name and reputation as a house/breaks/trance DJ. To throw another genre on that, I think would just be too confusing. It's like going to a restaurant that has chinese, american, italian, and indian on the same menu. Don't you guys watch Kitchen Nightmares? LOL

Seriously, it has been not uncommon for artists to do different styles of work under different names. Look at Quentin Leo Cook or Richard Melville Hall.

Also posting this here on a public board won't matter when Dave switches to the new site with new forums. All this will be washed away. Only you here will be privy to the secret.
