a good set = good tracks period. You can wreck all night. If the tracks light up my world, your set pwns me.

I like my sets like rollercoasters. They need to start off slow and simple. Gradually increase up that initial ramp. Then a slammin tune will take it over the edge and begin its decent to high speed madness. It needs to turn in many directions throughout to keep interest. Loops and corkscrews are good too. Basically, a good set needs to keep me guessing. A set with the same style of tunes over and over bores me. I love multi track breakdowns and buildups.... ex: slowing down gradually for a few tracks, and then slamming harder and harder tracks. I also enjoy long breaks between the god damn repeditive drum. Necessary to rest and reevaluate your surroundings and enviornment. Then when the drum comes back its that much better.

Good thread.

True, people go spastic in search of tracklists so they miserably fail to stop listening to it .

That's just like DJ Lithium's recordings.

Essentially highs/lows, shade/light.

Really, if contrasting tracks can be woven together smoothly I'll be quite happy... I hate it when mr dj man starts his set, and two hours later the crowd goes nuts cos he's finished and I never really notice the track changed... bor-ring.

Mix it up a little a say! Keep us guessing, do something different... one trance track doesn't always need to be played next to yet another trance track...

and can also make an outstanding set =)

You just need to know a lot of music, and know how to do it.

Here are my latest mixes:
Pepa - Pure Bliss (June 2007 Promo)
Pepa - Visual Thoughts (March 2007 Promo)
Pepa - Trippin' Again

Mash-ups:
Perasma Vs BT - Swing 2 Gravity (Pepa Live Mash-up)
I Trance You!

playing tracks with silly names, and theo parrish - falling up (carl craig remix)
and nothing by mike foyle

an example of good Dj is Danny Howells.

No matter how long his sets will be, the tracks which will drop will flow well from the start till the end, not like Tiesto who starts with prog , continues with trance goes again to prog and then hardtrance....

the average for Danny is 7 hours.
