Do you guys care if other local underground DJs in the club scene get tracks from YOUR tracklists?
Do you give away tracks freely and don't care sharing even your most unique, favourite tracks?

Yeah why not?
I know guys that hang onto them like they created them themselves and I think that's a little lame. Some people think because they "discovered" a song, that they have some god given right to them.
Although I think giving someone the music you bought is illegal.
Doesn't bother me one bit. It's more important how you play them then what you play.
i find it off-putting when someone won't tell me a track name or give me a list of tracks with their sets. there have been a couple people on here adamant on not giving out tracks names and i won't even bother to listen to anything they do at that point.
the whole reason i became a dj was to spread the word of artists i liked that were busting their asses to make tracks not many people have heard of. why would i want to keep that to myself? i always share that stuff so the artist can get some extra fans, exposure, and money...that is if anyone bothers to listen to my mixes lol. i love that feeling when you're playing a track and someone's face lights up as they ask you what it is. i can't imagine denying someone something so simple because they cultivated their sound over an eternity and they don't want other people to steal their style of sounds that they didn't write blah, blah blah and so on.

I'll always give somebody a track or artist name if they ask but I don't, generally, give out track listings with my sets. If you don't want to listen, it's your loss. I think it takes out half the fun and work by just freely giving away the tracks you've spent time looking for. Today's music and scene is too disposable, if you ask me.

at least you will give out a specific track if someone asks, but some won't even do that. i guess it could be my loss if i don't listen for that reason, but it's also the dj's loss and the artist's loss as well...mostly the artist since i have ran into a couple of djs who were actively trying to keep me from purchasing songs in their sets. i just think it's respectful to the artist to give credit where credit is due, especially if someone takes the time to specifically ask about a tune.

I am all for open sharing of track listings. In the sub-genre I mainly play, you will likely not be playing anything I don't know, if you do drop something I haven't heard and I like, I would love to be able to explore that label or artist. If you have an unreleased track, be real nice to support the artist in the future when I can buy the song, even though you got it thru the cool kids club. In genres that I'm less familiar, I might well purchase a new track that is outside my normal buying pattern, I may never play it in a set, but it might get a hit on the iPod now and then. If I pulled a SoundCloud track, I would like you to know, go visit and play and download too, it is by far more respect than buying in that community, leave them a comment to make their day while you are at it.
How the hell else are you supposed to decide if you WANT to listen to a mix??? If Dj BAzil Brush posts up a mix, saying "please listen and provide feedback" why should I? What incentive is there for me to listen?
Now - if a tracklist has some tunes that i like, or tunes that I like the sound of, THEN I'm likely to give it a listen.
I fear the "non-sharing" attitude is a cross over from what people have heard about real funk/breaks DJ's - who had to dig (and I mean properly dig - picture the cover of DJ Shadow's Endtroducing poster) through THOUSANDS of dusty old records just to find a 4 bar break at some point on that plate! Those guys EARNED those breaks, and protected them fiercly.
Protecting a tune that you've just downloaded from Beatport, or from a blog, or is on a Top 10 chart is just childish.

I mean, lets say you give a local DJ a tracklist and he rips it off and calls it his own. Still A-OK?
