I like bit jockey as well.
Easy to distance yourselves from the 'grinning bell end jumping up and down behind some decks while you play a mix tape' DJ's
Tiesto - I'm talkin about you...

Bit Jockey Precious just doesn't pop the same way DJ Precious does.
I admit that my name is sort of a play on pretension, but to be any more self concious about titles would just spank actual pretension into it as opposed to play-pretension.

Or a Bi-Jay, I'll going be at Sonar with my 3 gay mates I've enough bloody explaining to do.
It does get on my wick when people call me a DJ by mistake, I just about stop myself jumping them, screaming about weeks of preparation and composition. Or (Half my gigs you can reach out and touch the punters) people asking if I'll stick a track off the Cd they have on, and its hard house.
Or the flippantly enthusiastic fellows who want you to explain everything your doing as your doing it, I can manage to be nice for about 5 mins of that one before i revert to Prick mode.
Oh but can we start calling laptops Decks thou, reminds me of cyberdeck an eighties cyberpunk term for a VR computer that let you travel through a place they called the "WEB" (can you imagine such a thing
). Seriously thou a Laptop is a dog that has no apparant use other than crotch heating, biting young babies and traveling in fake guchi handbags. Lappie or Lappy = titty bar

Yeah, you could form a duo with an MC by the name of Bear.
'Bi-Jay and the Bear' and go on to make some lame 80's style T.V. series.

I was going to make a BJ comment but somebody beat me to it.
I call myself a composer or a performer. Of course I come off like a snob sometimes because of it... I remember once when this noodlehead disk jockey who was mixing one record with another made some remark trying to take the piss out of me because I dislike being called a DJ... But then when my set started and he saw how I make music on the fly, he didn't say shit after that - they usually just stand there with their mouths open. It's not that hard, but to a lot of plane old DJs who only mix records, live composition is like brain surgery.

Don't call yourself anything.
Just get on the stage and watch the "DJs" in the crowd freak and piss themselves over how lame traditional DJing will soon be. The assholes who don't get it (or don't have the brainpower to figure it out) will be hostile; those with vision and at least a modicum of intelligence will see the light and join us.

C'mon guys, think outside the square. Enough of this ..... jockey shite. The post DJ era is dawning. What about 'Lapist', 'Topper', 'Streamer' or 'HD' (Hard Driver)? or even 'Mousician'. hehe
