Kodiak Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Formally known as DrC1....A change of name, something I have been thinking about for some time and was going to post up a thread looking for some advice when the other day this name came to me. Firstly why the change? Well DrC1 is a shit name, it doesn't make any sense, it's hard to say (Doctor C1 or D-R-C-1) and really it was just a name to use when I first created my Soundcloud account. DrC1 came about because the only real name I could have used was the nickname my old QLD inline hockey team gave me, "The Bear." I got this name as I was a very big (6" & 100kg) guy that was even bigger once goalie pads and skates were on. The name fit and I am still called this by those guys nearly 20 years later and i used it for most other online personas. But due to being forced to watch "Sex in the City" by my now ex-wife (reason enough to divorce her in itself) I am aware that within the GLBT community, which is common in clubbing scenes, is that a "Bear" is a large gay, usually hairy man. Not really something I wanted to set myself up for as an identity as a DJ/Producer. So I used my initials because I couldn't think of anything else at the time.Here is where "Kodiak" ties in..... Kodiak is the largest of the brown bear species. It's easy to say and recognise and whilst not a unique word per say, it is not commonly used other than to describe the animal and the islands of Alaska where the bear is found. There is a DJ Kodiak Kid on Soundcloud but I figured I would still go with it.Up until recently a name change hadn't really bothered me. I don't play out and have no real intentions of doing so. But the local club recently ran some DJ comps and I thought if I did ever want to have a go I would need a better name. Plus come tax refund time I will be setting myself up to start doing some producing.Plus it got to me a little at the Gold Coast meet when everyone called each other Cupe, Dflux, Beatless, Oxykon (or Defkon depending how long you been around) etc and I was plain old Darryl....
