A good DJ set is easy: it's just a set composed of good music, that hasn't been ruined by the DJ.
A great DJ set: that's a bit more ephemeral and probably more subjective.

I have other mixes that I listen to for pleasure that I consider good because of the track selection, but not "great" because the mixing is just run of the mill blends.
I think it's a tough thing to define really. It is possible to objectively say "that scratching is rubbish", or "your mix is full of trainwrecks" which would make a mix bad, but when it comes to the music, if I went solely on what I like to define whether something is good or bad then 99% of EDM mixes would be bad because I don't like 99% of EDM, but clearly that's not the case (only 98.9% of them are bad really :P).
I believe that was a jab at Aoki.Quote:

your set must be mixed in key for it to be considered good...
