CHECK OUT MY SOUNDCLOUD BRUH!!!: http://soundcloud.com/fabiioofficial
Be sure to take a listen to my newest tracks

For me? Introducing me to new tunes to add to my repertoire. But if I'm listening for pleasure instead of finding new songs, then a good set is one that has good track selection, nice blends, a good energy flow, some nice technical skills, and the ability to surprise me.

Song selection by far. Playing the right tracks at the right time. Raising and lowering the energy properly. Sending your audience on a journey. Not playing nothing but bangers. Mixing the unfumiliar with the familiar and introducing your audience to some new sounds. Not playing nothing but Beatport's top 100. Just a few things that come to mind.
Unpredictability
Selection/Delivery
It depends on if I'm dancing or not. If I'm on the dance floor then it's all about energy, if you play hard hitters for three hours straight, I'll go til I pass out! If I'm not dancing, I love to pick apart a djs mixing style, so technicality and transitions, sampling, discrete use of effects, etc., are good then.
