Today I was asked about my alias ,its a throwback to the time I created my hotmail account and the DJ personna i was thinking of using at the time , i figured i could add a "D".
Other DJ name used included the Refresher, the Spirit Guides , Deckhard, Replicant 23 ,Steve Skywalker, Blue Five ,The Smurf and finally J.S.K.
JSteveKane was a homage to the pioneering British breakbeat techno prouducer JSAULKANE who had was at the forefront of early hardcore Breakbeat house/Drum & bass /Jungle alongside the likes of DJ Hype and Shut up and Dance.
JSAULKANE/Depth Charge was reknowned also for his love of ,and overt use of both Kung Fu and Kinky Porn samples which I thoughts was all kind of Wild and way before the Wu Tang Clan.
It also reminded me of the character from the seventies "Kung Fu" serial played by David Carradine which i loved as a kid, theres also a Big Daddy Kane resonance thrown in which i like.
The "J" evoked Jedi ,Jaguar,Jesus, Jezedi in addition to the "Dee Jay".
At school my aliases were far less kool and kind of cruel , ive always been a slim character and i remember the ridicule of being called an ethiopean and a bean pole.
My skater friends in Bristol called my two brothers an I "the Fiddlers" cause my mum played the violin so we were the fiddlers three.
At Uni i was called bad luck Steve for a while after i passed out on my birthday behid a sofa and got locked in the bar after the close,and a friend of mine who did some part time modeling and dominatrix work used to call me maggot.
When i joined a Tai Chi /Kung Fu school a few years later The Master simply called me White Steve to differentiate with Black Steve and that one i use to this day.
Since i began playing Capoeira i've had a few nickname (judas / garibu / alfinette (the needle) / courigitto (the owl)and courigitto sonhador (the owl dreamer)
So who is the real me? or maybe they all are different parts of me, well there's a new name coming soon..

Polyonymous is a term meaning known by many names... I've always thought it would be a cool rap group.
