Ever wonder how DJs come up with names?

Learn how some of your favourite Aussie DJs got their name.

Mint Dealers (NSW)

“The story behind the name ‘Mint Dealers’ isn’t too complex or extensive. We wanted to create something that sounded cool and fresh, as well as representing the organic and natural elements we love to incorporate in our music. In essence, we’re all about creating upbeat vibes and electrifying times for anyone that wants to join us on our journey!”

Binary Finary (NSW)

“Binary came from the fact back in Portsmouth, Matt and myself were programming digital synths and workstations. At its raw form, literally pushing around 0’s and 1’s in binary arithmetic. Finary because literally nothing else rhymes with Binary.”

Allyway (VIC)

“Well mine’s not a great story . . . it’s what my best friends called me in high school, and inspired by the skateboarder Danny Way.”

Enfortro (VIC)

“The name Enfortro was originally for a song title, back in 1996 when i produced some really early tracks. I was looking for a futuristic name to ID my track, and one night dreamed up this crazy name, woke up, wrote it down, went back to sleep. Then in 2000 i adopted it as my alias.”

Soniq State (VIC)

“Ivan Zupan (Elusive Sense) and Craig Oliver (Enfortro) started Soniq State early last year, which was originally Sonic State (with a C). 2 days after we released our single, ‘The Return’, a German rock band by the same name contacted us asking for us to change our name even by derivative. So we dropped the C and put a Q.”
